BricsCAD BIM enables full, CAD-accurate 3D modeling from the very start – unlike conventional BIM, with stop/start workflows. BricsCAD BIM offers simple and accurate modeling tools that carry your 3D massing and study models directly into BIM.
In the industry-leading BIM product, Autodesk Revit, the entire BIM database is held within a single (often enormous) file. BricsCAD's 3D BIM workflow uses DWGs and XREFs in a unique, managed approach that allows easy multi-user access to a BIM.
BricsCAD's 3D BIM workflow starts in real, solid 3D models to ensure buildability, and it doesn't require BIM technicians to make it work.
Create and manage building designs – from concept to construction documentation – in one familiar environment. With BricsCAD BIM, you can use your current CAD skills to smoothly move to creating real Building Information Models in record time. One product, one workflow, all in industry-standard DWG.
Features:
- Conceptual Design Tools

Welcome to the BricsCAD® V21 product family! We want to make it easy for you to buy the right version of BricsCAD®. That's why we've simplified the overall product family for 2021.
TL;DR
BricsCAD® Classic has been renamed to BricsCAD® Lite. BricsCAD® Platinum will...Bricsys® 24/7 for Design Teams has been renamed BricsCAD® Cloud. Bricsys 24/7 for Project Collaboration is now called Bricsys® 24/7.
What's in a name? For V21, BricsCAD® Classic has been renamed to BricsCAD® Lite. It's for everybody who works primarily in 2D. BricsCAD® Pro has been elevated to flagship status, as we've merged all the power of today's BricsCAD® Platinum V20 into BricsCAD® Pro V21 – and much, much more! When you see the new features and workflows in the V21 family of products, you'll know that BricsCAD is on the cutting edge of CAD development.
We believe that the choice is clear. Need a better AutoCAD® LT? Choose BricsCAD Lite. Want a modern, high-performance CAD tool to replace your expensive AutoCAD® Subscription? BricsCAD Pro is right for you. Regardless of the Edition you choose, you'll get the best DWG-based CAD system available today.
The product editions for BricsCAD® BIM, BricsCAD® Mechanical, and BricsCAD® Ultimate stay the same, save for the incredible new features and innovations that we've introduced in V21!
Our collaboration tools have new names, also: Bricsys® 24/7 for Design Teams has been renamed BricsCAD® Cloud. Bricsys 24/7 for Project Collaboration is now called simply Bricsys® 24/7. Again, we're making it powerfully easy to choose the right tool from Bricsys.
Which version of BricsCAD® is right for me?
BricsCAD® Lite is the best choice for 2D drafting work
BricsCAD® Liteoffers all the functionality of AutoCAD® LT, and more. The overall user experience is amazingly familiar. Lite offers the power of A.I., via machine learning workflows that let you get more work done, faster, and with more accuracy. And migration is easy too – your menus and other customizations move right over into BricsCAD!
BricsCAD® Lite lets you customize your drafting workflows, with the full power of LISP, built-in. The majority of your existing LISP routines will just load and run, 5 to 100x faster, thanks to the modern memory management of our OpenLISP implementation.
BricsCAD® Pro is the best choice for 3D work and 3rd party apps
BricsCAD® Pro is the right choice for users who want more power and more innovation on their desk (or laptop), and for those that need access to the hundreds of 3rd party application programs, built on our BRX API.
BricsCAD® Pro integrates all the advanced parametric solid modeling features previously found in BricsCAD® Platinum, and much, much more! It contains a powerful 3D constraint engine and automatic parameterization. Parametric components and arrays, coupled with our 3D Direct modeling engine, give you the ultimate design freedom.
The Pro edition also contains our civil modeling workflow, with automatic TIN surface generation, gradings, corridors, and alignments.
BricsCAD® Mechanical is the best choice for MCAD
BricsCAD® Mechanicaloffers comprehensive mechanical design and documentation tools that work in BricsCAD's familiar user environment – and best of all, it's all in DWG!
You may have been told that the DWG format is not suitable for detailed, mechanical assembly design. That statement was made over 20 years ago. My, how times have changed!
And, our optional Communicator for BricsCAD®module imports files from, and exports files to, industry-standard Mechanical CAD formats, including associated Product Manufacturing Information, or PMI.
And BricsCAD's powerful Direct Modeler, based on ACIS, treats native and imported geometry the same way – for seamless editing of parts, assemblies and sheet metal components.
BricsCAD BIM is the best choice for Architects and Structural Engineers
BricsCAD® BIM is an alternative Building Information Modelling workflow that starts in 3D and stays in 3D. It offers a design-to-documentation Building Information Modeling workflow that focuses on 'Design First'.
BricsCAD® BIM leverages a familiar workflow, using DWGs and XREFs, to bring Building Information Modeling to everyone.
We respect your Art. You can begin capturing your designs in CAD-accurate solids, without the limitations of 'family' based systems. Then, leverage the power of A.I. and machine learning to classify your BIM's elements automatically.
Bricscad Bim
This same AI power lets you build the Level of Development of your BIM in a continuous, consistent fashion. And, you can create associative construction documentation, automatically, at any point in the BricsCAD® BIM workflow.
BricsCAD® Ultimate does it all
BricsCAD® Ultimate is the master edition of the BricsCAD V21 product family. It combines all the features in BricsCAD Pro, Mechanical and BIM into a single, all-in-one, DWG based CAD solution.
