BricsCAD BIM – A Smarter, Flexible Approach to Building Information Modeling

What Makes BricsCAD BIM a Game-Changer?

The world of architecture and construction is evolving fast, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) is at the heart of this transformation. But traditional BIM software often comes with steep learning curves, complex workflows, and expensive licensing.

Enter BricsCAD BIM — a modern, DWG-native BIM solution that merges the power of solid 3D modeling with AI and automation, offering unmatched freedom and flexibility for AEC professionals.


Key Features of BricsCAD BIM

🏗️ 1. Familiar DWG-Based Workflow

Unlike most BIM platforms that use proprietary formats, BricsCAD BIM is built on industry-standard DWG. This ensures seamless collaboration, open file access, and easy transition for AutoCAD users.

🔁 2. Flexible Design to BIM Workflow

You’re not forced into a rigid "BIM from day one" workflow. BricsCAD BIM lets you start with conceptual 3D models and progressively add BIM data and classifications as your project develops—perfect for fast-paced projects.

🧠 3. AI-Assisted Automation

BricsCAD BIM’s AI tools automatically recognize building elements like walls, slabs, windows, and doors from imported or drawn geometry. It also helps in automating space definitions, sections, and quantity take-offs—saving hours of manual work.

🧱 4. Smart Modeling with Solids

It uses solid-based modeling (instead of mesh-based), enabling greater control, parametric edits, and precise detailing. Ideal for both architectural and structural designs.

📐 5. 2D + 3D in One Platform

Draft in 2D, model in 3D, extract 2D documentation—all in the same file, using the same tool. BricsCAD BIM bridges the gap between CAD and BIM like no other.

🧾 6. Intelligent Data and IFC Interoperability

Easily classify building elements and export to IFC2x3 or IFC4 formats for coordination with other BIM software. It’s also compliant with openBIM standards.
