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 is not overloaded or over-constrained. |

| Quick Floor Plans | Quick Building | BIM Create Spaces and Zones |
| BIMQUICKDRAW takes sketching into the 3D realm. You can create and modify 3D room layouts as easily as sketching out a 2D floor plan. Creating and editing rectangular and L-shaped rooms and buildings has never been so fast. | Create a BIM from a solid massing model BIMQUICKBUILDING supports iterative and generative design workflows, quickly transforming a solid massing model into a conceptual BIM model with slabs, walls and spaces — helping the designer to explore many design options in an early design phase. | You have unlimited freedom to create Spaces and Zones, using a free-form direct modeling approach. Spaces can be simple or complex 3D volumes, or 2D abstractions. These methods deliver the freedom to specify building areas with full freedom. |

| Bi-directional Link With Grasshopper | Top View Mode |
| BricsCAD BIM modeler and McNeel’s Rhinoceros®/Grasshopper have a live, two-way link to bridge the gap between early-stage generative design and BIM by translating geometric entities into BIM elements. | BricsCAD BIM gives you the ultimate flexibility of modeling your designs with direct modeling or the Top View Mode, which gives you the familiar experience of modeling in a plan view. Creating simple wall layouts with doors and windows has just become a lot more efficient in BricsCAD BIM. |
|
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.

 |
 |
| Auto-classify Building Elements | Auto-complete BIM Data | Propagate 3D details |
| BIMIFY examines the geometry of each solid in the model and detects and assigns IFC entity classifications automatically. This automated classifier can save hours of work in the creation of a BIM. | BIMAUTOMATCH will automatically match and complete BIM information across multiple entities, such as missing compositions, properties and more. Add compositions to a wall and BIMAUTOMATCH will suggest adding that composition to every matching wall in the entire BIM. | Drive a consistent level of detail (LOD) across your entire BIM automatically. Adjust a composition ply at a ceiling/wall juncture and replicate the change across the BIM, wherever you need it. You always have full control over the suggestions BIMPROPAGATE makes. |
| 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. | |
 |
|
|
|
 |
| Fast Drawing Generation | Type Plan Templates |
| In BricsCAD BIM, drawing view generation is threaded across multi-core CPUs, to keep you working smoothly while drawings and sheet sets are being generated. |
BIM Typed Plans templates With user configurable BIM Typed Plans templates, you can generate and customize any plan layout (architectural, structural, fire and life safety, etc.) using 2D graphical overrides for BIM elements and custom annotations and tags. |
 |
 |
| BIM Project Browser | Auto Annotations |
| Create and manage 2D drawings, sections and schedules from the integrated BIM Project Browser. Everything is organized and well-structured in one place. | Place and update tags and dimensions automatically with BricsCAD BIM’s automatic annotation tools. |
 |
|
| Stair Styles and Representation | |
| Model stairs your way and let BricsCAD BIM create a 2D symbol on the sheet. Stairs in BricsCAD BIM, whether they were created with the BIMSTAIR tool or with direct modeling, now get an automatic and adapted 2D representation on sheets. The BIMSTAIR command panel has also been updated for improved user-friendliness. | |
|
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.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Propagate 2D Detail | BOM Manager | Propagate 3D Details |
| The Propagate workflow in BricsCAD BIM can be used to replicate architectural and structural details across an entire BIM. Details can be automatically parameterized, then stored, managed and used from the detail library. These custom components can be re-used across distinct stages of the design process and across multiple projects. | The BOM Manager, previously only available in Mechanical, has been integrated in BricsCAD BIM to significantly increase quantity take-off capabilities. Creating lists, schedules and bill of materials has become much easier and users have gained more control over their data. | Drive a consistent level of detail (LOD) across your entire BIM automatically. Adjust a composition ply at a ceiling/wall juncture and replicate the change across the BIM, wherever you need it. You always have full control over the suggestions BIMPROPAGATE makes. |

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. |
 |
 |
 |
| Parametrize | Parts and Assemblies |
| The Parametrize workflow in BricsCAD BIM lets you create intelligent, fully parametric building components in seconds, without the hassle of manual parameter and constraint assignment. | Manufacturers of building components can work in BricsCAD Mechanical or other mechanical design systems, then share their designs as libraries of components for BricsCAD BIM |
 |
|
| MEP Tools | Propagate 3D Details |
|
BricsCAD BIM supports building mechanical services in full 3D. The intuitive modeling tools let you create HVAC ducts and pipes as flow segments. These segments can be automatically connected via bends, T-connections and automatic branching. An alternative solution working on top of BricsCAD, used to develop detailed MEP models, is AX3000. |
Drive a consistent level of detail (LOD) across your entire BIM automatically. Adjust a composition ply at a ceiling/wall juncture and replicate the change across the BIM, wherever you need it. You always have full control over the suggestions BIMPROPAGATE makes. |

| Scan to Plan | Scan to BIM |
| Enjoy the efficiency of automation with BricsCAD BIM to detect floors and auto-generate 2D linework as a basis for a 2D building-plan layout. A 2D plan can easily be converted to 3D geometry without advanced modeling skills. | BricsCAD BIM is the best tool for modeling the existing conditions quickly and accurately. Industry-first performance, flexible modeling tools and various automations support the efficient generation of smart BIM from scans. |
