Straightforward Scan to BIM Workflows

We understand that the quality of your project is directly tied to the accuracy of your data, which is why BricsCAD BIM strives to enhance precision in every step of the process. Produce digital twin models that represent their real-world counterparts, even capturing their finer details thanks to BricsCAD BIM's Scan to BIM capabilities.

BricsCAD BIM is rich with features that will enhance your Scan to BIM workflows that help you transition from 2D plans to fully explorable and editable 3D models. Take complex point cloud data, import the data into BricsCAD BIM and you can efficiently create an accurate visualization of your scanned object, without the fuss. BricsCAD BIM accelerates the creation of BIM models by automating the generation of 3D geometry, including walls and slabs, from point cloud data – saving you time. BricsCAD BIM also provides dedicated building modeling toolset meant to also work intelligently with point cloud data – which ultimately helps you increase your model's accuracy. You can add additional information, adjust inaccuracies, and incorporate detailed aesthetics and annotations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats does BricsCAD® BIM support?

BricsCAD BIM supports a wide range of file formats, including:

  • Native .dwg format for 2D and 3D CAD files
  • Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for BIM data exchange
  • Revit® (.rvt) files
  • Revit Families® (.rfa) - import only
  • Twinmotion/Unreal - .udatasmith
  • Sketchup (.skp) - import only
  • Various 3D formats like .obj, .dae, .3dm, .dgn, .stl, .stp, and .iges
  • Point cloud formats .las , .e57, .laz, .pts, .ptx, .rcs, .hspc, and .rcp

This versatility allows for seamless collaboration with other software platforms and workflows.

How does BricsCAD® BIM enable collaboration?

BricsCAD BIM offers several tools for collaborative work:

  • Support for external references (XREFs) to divide large projects into manageable parts, all link to the same master drawing. Allowing multiple people to collaborate on the same project. We don’t support collaboration of multiple people in one single model.
  • Integration with Bricsys 24/7, a cloud-based document management platform
  • Built-in revision control and model comparison tools

These features enable effective teamwork and coordination on complex BIM projects.

Can BricsCAD® BIM generate 2D drawings from 3D models?

Yes, BricsCAD BIM offers robust 2D drawing generation capabilities:

  • Automatic creation of plans, sections, and elevations from the 3D model
  • Dynamic updating of 2D drawings when the 3D model changes
  • Customizable drawing templates and annotation styles

The ability to add detail and annotation to generated 2D views
