A Different Approach to Building Information Modeling

BricsCAD BIM - focus on “Design First”

Alternative to Revit®, AutoCAD® and SketchUp® combined

 

A Different Approach: BricsCAD BIM

Know AutoCAD

You already know BricsCAD BIM

 

A fresh look at BIM

In BricsCAD BIM, design decisions come first, and machine learning algorithms automate the laborious tasks of manipulating BIM data, documentation, and levels of detail.

Explore the BricsCAD BIM open CAD platform

BricsCAD BIM design platform

It’s runtime eXtension (BRX) API enables you to develop your own bespoke apps, offering developers a powerful base on which to build great industry-specific solutions.

 
  • Highly compatible with AutoCAD® 2022

    There’s no need to change your printers, templates, blocks or sheet set layouts to move to BricsCAD – they are 100% compatible. Command names, aliases, and system variables are the same in BricsCAD and AutoCAD®. BricsCAD is based on native DWG for the highest compatibility with other CAD users across all industries.

  • AutoLISP and API support

    BricsCAD fully supports LISP, slashing the time it takes to do repetitive drafting tasks. It's compatible with AutoCAD® AutoLISP format, making it simple to re-use existing routines. It also features a powerful API, providing a platform for many industry-specific independent applications.

  • Use your AutoCAD Blocks

    Blockify automatically creates a block definition and replaces all matching sets of entities with block references throughout your entire drawing. You can reduce DWG file size up to 90% by using Blockify to find repetitive geometry and convert it into block references.

  • Drawing Explorer

    The Drawing Explorer centralizes in BricsCAD what in other CAD platforms amounts to as many separate dialog boxes. Easy to navigate, easy to search.

  • The Quad

    BricsCAD’s unique Quad is a “head-up” command palette that predicts your command usage and offers one-click access to the command you’ll most likely need next. It’s powered by an A.I. agent that makes those command predictions, based on how you use BricsCAD.

  • Adaptive Grid Snapping

    BricsCAD’s dynamic snap grid changes to reflect your zoom level. The adaptive grid snap feature lets you create, edit, nudge and manipulate entities using precise values without the need for keyboard entry. The snap step size adapts based on the current screen zoom factor.

Familiar and Compatible CAD

BricsCAD BIM is fully based on the industry standard dwg format, with full command, script, macro and menu compatibility.
