With the release of the (work in progress) R hino Inside, Rhino can now work inside most design apps including Revit, Unity, Unreal, Blender, SketchUp and AutoCAD.
Bricscad review update#
On stage, we saw the Grasshopper plug-in used to design a fully parametric canopy and update through a number of different permutations in real-time! Once the design was ready, it was “baked” back into the model and made available to edit in BricsCAD, complete with BIM data. Probably one of the most exciting additions is new support for McNeel’s Rhino and Grasshopper, bringing generative design to the BricsCAD platform. The aim is to get this technology working on a phone with any point cloud size.īricsys 24/7 is the company’s cloud-based Common Data Environment collaboration portal for teams working on projects Rhinoceros
Bricscad review full#
The technology reduced resolution when moving, and then filled out to full resolution from stationary viewpoints. We also saw a 1/2 terabyte point cloud file of a cathedral sampled at original resolution. This was a 1 terabyte data file of around 25,000,000,000, points.
Bricscad review windows#
On stage at the company’s annual conference we saw fly-throughs of a massive point cloud of Knokke, a seaside town in Belgium, running on a €500 Windows tablet.
Not content with developing for all verticals at once, Bricsys is also producing its own VR walkthrough tool.
Bricscad review free#
This year, 24/7 was made free to all those on maintenance / subscription. One wonders where Bricsys intends to go with this it’s almost as if it was going to attack the civils market! In fact, it is, but through a number of third-party developers.īricsys 24/7 is the company’s cloud-based Common Data Environment (CDE) collaboration portal for teams working on projects. Site tools have been massively beefed up with support for Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) surfaces, grading and alignment. The parametric propagate tool is an AI-powered utility that makes it possible to parametrise defined details There’s even a cloud-based collaboration portal. It costs €1,180 for a perpetual licence (approximately three months subscription for a single seat of Revit) and BricsCAD BIM also comes with the DWG compatible drafting engine.īricsys doesn’t stop at DWG and BIM it also has developed a very powerful and low-cost 3D mechanical application, along the lines of DS Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor, which also offers comprehensive sheet metal folding / unfolding. in the model and applies IFC tags to them.Īrchitects don’t have to worry about using the right components – it’s like massing model to immediate BIM model. Next the AI automatically ‘finds’ the walls, doors, floors, windows, columns etc. Designs start with no intelligence the user just models the geometry, so a building has the required shape and layout, then makes holes for windows and doors and types in ‘BIMify’. Using this platform as a base, Bricsys has developed a unique BIM offering which uses ACIS solids and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to turn the traditional ‘Lego’ build through components paradigm on its head. However, Bricsys has long since surpassed the core AutoCAD functionality and added a raft of new powerful drafting utilities – and continues to do so each year. AutoCAD users will find it familiar, from the keyboard shortcuts to LISP and DWG compatibility. The company was primarily known for developing an AutoCAD clone, or as it prefers to call it a ‘cyclone’ and, as CAD modellers go, it’s actually very good. To be honest, the Bricsys CAD offering is a bit of mind warp. Also, there was an obvious opportunity to have an AutoCAD-compatible CAD system in the market, when Autodesk was forcing subscription on its customers. The decision to acquire came from Hexagon’s plant division, as Bricsys provides an in-house alternative platform to AutoCAD, on which its CADWorx Plant design product was built to run. The ambitious small CAD developer from Ghent in Belgium had found a seriously big backer to secure its future. In 2018 Bricsys was acquired by the Hexagon group, a seriously big player in the laser scanning and process plant sector, owning brands such as Leica, MSC and Intergraph.
