BricsCAD BIM - DWG-based CAD platform with BIM capabilities

BricsCAD BIM combines the best of design modelling, documentation, and BIM capabilities into one, familiar DWG-based system, enabling firms in the building industry to transition safely and easily from CAD to BIM.

BricsCAD is built entirely on the industry-standard DWG format with full command, script, macro, and menu compatibility. BricsCAD Pro helps you utilise skills you already have so it feels familiar and highly compatible with existing workflows.

BricsCAD BIM contains all of the features found in BricsCAD Pro.

Experience design freedom with a 3D workflow not limited by pre-defined parts or libraries components. Use intuitive push-pull direct modeling to sculpt your mass-model concept. Your model remains light and responsive, because it’s not over-loaded or over-constrained.

Visualise your design at every phase of the workflow with BricsCAD BIM. With a single click, you can start real-time rendering using Enscape, Twinmotion or Lumion and walk through your fully rendered model project.

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 and 3D
You can find a flexible, direct 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.

Third-Party Applications
The Bricsys Collective brings premier third-party application developers together to offer solutions for structural engineering and analysis, building mechanical systems, photoreal rendering and algorithmic design.

What's New in BricsCAD BIM

Slab Tool
Use Slab tool to easily create slab floor with or without pre-defined materials.

COLUMN Tool
Use COLUMN tool to add vertical load-bearing elements to building models using generic or standard library shapes.

ROOF Tool
Use ROOF tool makes it easer than ever to create a roof. You can make it either by selecting 2 points or building outline for more complex shape.

Column tool with Detection
Scan to BIM modeling is more efficient with the enhanced BIMCOLUMN tool that can detect rectangular or circular column profile in a point cloud section.

Add to your Typed Plan
Additional background image, sunlight, and perspective settings are now available in the Type Plans Editor for better graphical representation of the 2D plans.

IFC 4 Reference View Export
For an IFC4 export, now choose between a full Design Transfer export, or a limited Reference View export. The Reference View is a simplified export that will allow better exchange with other tools, such as Revit, that don't support the full IFC toolkit.

Plus...

• COLORBOOKS - Encrypted color books are now supported in BricsCAD V25.
• CURSORMODE - Choose to switch the cursor to a solid color mode for better legibility hovering over raster imagery.
• DIMJOGGED / DIMJOGLINE - New DIMJOGGED and DIMJOGLINE commands are available in BricsCAD V25
• EXPORTTOAUTOCAD - Creates a new version of a drawing file with AEC entities converted into BLOCKs.m
• MIRROR - MIRROR now retains temporary tracker graphics to improve the overall user experience.
• PEDITEXT - Implemented a streamlined method for modifying PLINEs (Polylines). Try it, you'll like it!
