A flexible platform for 2D, 3D designs, and BIM
BricsCAD BIM is built on the familiar BricsCAD system, so you can leverage the 2D drafting tools as you ease into 3D workflows at your own pace. Enjoy the flexibility to create simple 3D designs, import or produce BIM for collaborations, or model with accuracy for construction and fabrication.
AI-driven
In BricsCAD BIM, design decisions come first, and machine learning algorithms automate the laborious tasks of manipulating BIM data, documentation, and levels of detail.
2D & 3D
You can find a flexible, direct building-modeling tool and a professional CAD product in the same DWG platform. Design geometry can directly be converted to BIM elements.
CAD software
A safe path to BIM for CAD users without the disruption of learning a traditional BIM system. Spending less on software and training while avoiding performance dips during transition lowers the barriers to entry.
For BIM
BricsCAD BIM leverages the power of solid CAD modeling that supports flexible design, BIM, and the accuracy needed by engineers and manufacturers, opening the possibility of linking BIM with fabrication workflows in the BricsCAD Ultimate package.
The BricsCAD® BIM workflow
Discover how BricsCAD BIM enables a streamlined workflow for design, construction, and fabrication in a single DWG environment.
Modeling freedom
Experience the freedom to model with a 3D workflow unrestricted by pre-defined parts or library components. Use intuitive push-pull direct modeling to sculpt your mass-model concept. Your model remains light and responsive because it’s not overloaded or over-constrained.
Visualization
Visualize your projects at every phase of the workflow with BricsCAD BIM. With a single click, you can start real-time rendering using Twinmotion or Lumion and walk through your fully rendered model project.
Classify, replicate, automate
Leverage the power of AI tools to automatically convert your concept study models to fully classified BIM models (LOD 200). Then, increase the LOD of your BIM continuously using the power of BricsCAD BIM’s AI-powered
workflows.
Generate spectacular documentation
Create clear and accurate construction documentation in record time using the automatic generation of sections, elevations, drawing views, and sheet layouts. You can always customize them using the world’s best drafting and annotation tools. Change your BIM and all associated drawing views will be regenerated automatically to stay in total synch with the model.
Detailing and quantification
Increase your model’s LOD by adding information and duplicating it at any or all matching instances across your BIM automatically. With high accuracy and consistent Level of Detail across the entire BIM, exact quantity take-offs and bills of materials can be extracted, displayed, and exported.
Deliver custom designs for fabrication and manufacturing
The accuracy of BricsCAD BIM offers new horizons for engineers and manufacturers of building products. Custom components can be designed and shared as assemblies for use within the BIM or on the shop floor for fabrication.
Manufacturers of building components can create production-ready assemblies in BricsCAD® Mechanical, then share their designs as libraries of components for use with BricsCAD BIM.
Scan
Scan existing conditions to verify the accuracy of old survey drawings and start your renovation projects from an accurate, as-build model. Point clouds can help you check progress and quality during construction and make a permanent record of the completed building for future renovations.
Open BIM & interoperability
BricsCAD BIM supports global, open standards to ensure interoperability and enable smooth collaboration with everyone on the extended design or build team.
