Familiar Interface

Leverage what you already know with full command, script, macro and menu compatibility with AutoCAD®.

CAD software for 2D drafting and 3D modelingBricsCAD® is the modern, familiar and cost-effective CAD platform

LISP Routines Highly compatible with AutoCAD® 2020

Use your Dynamic Blocks Nearest Distance

Run LISP routines developed in otherCAD applications, or develop your own inthe BricsCAD LISP Advanced DevelopmentEnvironment (BLADE).

There’s no need to change your printer setup, drawing templates, blocks or sheet set layouts to move toBricsCAD – they are all 100% compatible. BricsCAD is based on native DWG for the highest compatibility.

You can use the Dynamic Blocks that youcreated in AutoCAD® directly inside of BricsCAD.Control visibility states and stretch, flip,and rotate just as you would in AutoCAD®.

View the distance between any two entities,and move the second one by simply typing ina new distance value.

“Adapting to BricsCAD was really easy. Within one week, we had made a full migration to BricsCAD: as if we had never changed our CAD platform at all.”

Dario Pibiri,Mechanical Engineer at Ecophos

Convert repeated geometry into blocks Civil Engineering Tools

Point Clouds Rich Application Catalog

Blockify automatically creates a block definition and replaces all matching sets of entities with block references throughout your entire drawing.

BricsCAD Platinum offers extended modelingworkflows for creating and editing TIN surfaces, grading and alignments.

Point cloud visualization tools in BricsCADPlatinum support industry-standard pointcloud formats and let you navigate massivepoint clouds smoothly and quickly.

Hundreds of third-party applications to automateand support industry-specific workflows.Applications run on BricsCAD Pro or higher editions.

Collaboration

The Bricsys 24/7 connection panel lives inside of BricsCAD and gives you direct access to our cloud-based file storage and collaboration network.

Quad

BricsCAD’s unique Quad palette predicts your command usage and offers one-click access to the command you’ll need next.

Collaborate withBIMcollab

Access the BIMcollab cloud-based BIM issue management ecosystem to communicate model-based issues with others in the design team.

Building Information ModelingMake the move to BIM in a familiar environment that respects the value of design

Propagate saves hours of modeling Export and import IFC 4.0

Generate construction documents Parametric stair modeler

Increase level of development automatically with Propagate. It uses AI to replicate smart details across your entire BIM, ensuring accurate details and high-accuracy quantity take-offs.

Collaborate with users of the industry-leading application software for structural design, HVAC and building mechanical engineering.

The BricsCAD 2D-detailing workflow is supported by the automatic generation of sections and detail views. These views update automatically when changes are made to the BIM.

In just a few clicks, BIMStair enables the creationof a complete parametric staircase, supporting straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped stairs.

IFC

Start in solids withfull freedom

Create CAD-accurate 3D study models, with the ease of free-form push/pull direct modeling. Enjoy design freedom without the restrictions of families and classifications.

Classify building elements automatically

Bimify turns your design concept into a full BIM in seconds, using machine learning to automatically classify building elements:

“BricsCAD offers 2D, 3D and BIM. It is an undeniable strength to be able to use those three in one software product within our company.”

Tooru Murayama,Manager of the Technical Development Department at NS-TEXENG

Enscape Connection Grasshopper Connection

AutoMatch Bricsys 24/7 integration

Enscape provides quality real-time rendering integrated into your design workflow.It can use existing material definitionsstored directly in the BIM model.

Bridge the gap between algorithmic modeling and BIM, with a real-time, bi-directional workflow with McNeel’s Rhino and Grasshopper.

AutoMatch is a property painter for BIM elements, matching compositions, properties,and more.

The Bricsys 24/7 connection panel lives insideof BricsCAD and gives you direct access to ourcloud-based file storage and collaboration network.

• BIM Profiles to linear solids

• Spatial locations

• Rooms

• Internal and external walls

• Elevation views and section plans

3D Direct Modeling

Create parametriccomponents

Create any shape freely using our powerful Direct Modeler. It treats native and imported geometry exactly the same way, for maximum compatibility with other MCAD systems.

Parametrize turns dumb 3D solids into smart parametrically-driven components in seconds. You can build constraint systems and change parameters in the BricsCAD Properties Panel.

A complete mechanical design toolkit, all in DWGDesign and assemble freely, using the power of 3D Direct Modeling

3D Constraints Sheet Metal Modeling

Automated Drawing Generation Automated Exploded views with trailing lines

The powerful 3D constraint engine in BricsCAD Mechanical lets you create parametric components, table-driven parts and assemblies.

BricsCAD Mechanical lets you create, import, reworkand unfold sheet metal parts using lofted solids,to ensure that you can edit deeply without fear of model failures.

A familiar workflow for turning your mechanical designs into production drawings. Change a part or the entire assembly, and 2D drawing details are automatically updated.

BricsCAD Mechanical can create multi-axis exploded views, automatically disassembling complex assemblies and adding trailing lines, in just one click.

2D

Bill Of Materials Generation

Multi-parametric3D animations

The BOM panel lets you manage multiple BOM tables in your drawings. You can format each column individually, set up equations, sort tables, and more.

The Animation Editor panel is designedto create complex 3D animations, where each scene can contain multiple parallel actions, controlled by different parameters.

“If you’re an engineer who is used to working in 2D, it is much easier to start working in 3D with BricsCAD than with any other tool, because you can just follow the same intuitive pattern.”
