Key Capabilities of BricsCAD BIM

1. DWG-Native BIM

• Full BIM capability with DWG compatibility.

• Eliminates the need to translate between CAD and BIM environments.

2. AI-Powered Modeling

• Use BIMIFY to automatically classify geometry (walls, slabs, columns, etc.).

• Use PROPAGATE to replicate details, elements, or connections across the model.

3. Flexible Modeling Workflow

• Start from 3D solids or 2D drawings — no need for strict element creation rules.

• Push & pull modeling lets you design freely.

4. IFC & OpenBIM Support

• Import/export Industry Foundation Classes (IFC2x3 & IFC4).

• Ensures interoperability with other BIM platforms like Revit, ArchiCAD, etc.

5. Automated Drawing Generation

• Generate plans, sections, elevations, and detail drawings directly from the BIM model.

• Fully associative: changes in the model reflect in drawings automatically.

6. Material Takeoff & Quantity Estimation

• Extract accurate and customizable quantity takeoffs.

• Supports schedules, BOMs, and material area/volume calculations.

7. Point Cloud & Scan to BIM

• Import and work with point clouds to model existing conditions.

• Convert point clouds to 3D BIM elements.

🧠 Smart Advantages

• Unified CAD-BIM Platform
  One tool for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, and BIM — reducing software costs.

• AI for Speed & Accuracy
  Save time with intelligent tools like BIMIFY, PROPAGATE, and QUICKDRAW.

• Design Freedom
  Unlike rigid BIM platforms, BricsCAD BIM lets you start freely and add intelligence as needed.

📊 Ideal For:

• Architects and building designers

• BIM consultants and contractors

• Renovation and retrofit projects (scan to BIM)

• Firms looking to migrate from CAD to BIM at lower cost
