Brings together all existing optimization tools in a single, convenient place to make it easier to keep drawings healthy.

TOOLPALETTES command now has a new user experience for the Tool Palettes Panel.

AI-powered assist ribbon panel suggests commands a user will likely need next based on typical workflow patterns.

ExpressTools, a popular third-party app, is now part of the native functionality of BricsCAD.

BricsCAD's Ribbon UI has been completely reworked to provide a better user experience.

The CONNECT command joins two entities not touching.

A new user-interface and performance enhancements improve the usability of the ARRANGE command.

The FINDOUTLIERS command helps users find stray data that lies outside of their primary drawing area, improving graphic performance.

BLOCKIFY now detects repetitive elements more accurately, thanks to our new symmetry-detection engine.

We’ve improved the flexibility of the COPYGUIDED3D command, allowing users to apply the command to model faces.

Access all settings and properties of each Civil entity. Edit existing entities or add new entities and their components.

The GRADING workflow is enhanced to ease target surface changes and delivers better information about boundaries created by grading operations.

BricsCAD's unique TIN Densify workflow has been optimized to speed up the creation of high-density surface regions.

Introducing support for Hexagon Standard Point Cloud format, providing closer integration with wider Hexagon solutions.

Import and export GIS data with ESRI’s SHP file format.

The GISEXPORT workflow now supports the export of pure CAD geometry (i.e., without specific attached GIS data) into a SHP file.

BricsCAD BIM gives you the ultimate flexibility of modeling your designs with direct modeling or the brand-new Top View Mode, which gives you the familiar experience of modeling in a plan view.

The new BIMWALL command makes modeling floorplans easier with linear input for walls and support for compositions, justification, and spatial locations.

Modeling repetitive, simple floorplans is faster with one-click insertion of single walls and easy controls over alignment, connections, compositions, and spatial locations.

Modeling building floorplans is more efficient with the enhanced BIMQUICKDRAW that adds more controls over snapping, justification, and wall-slab placement.

Leverage metadata already present in your point clouds for filtering points by regions, scan positions, and classification when importing via the Hexagon Smart Point Cloud format.

Detect deviations between a point cloud and a wall, a floor surface, or a column to verify and visualize whether the as-built structure differs from the design.

Scan to BIM is more automated with the enhanced BIMINVERTSPACES command that automatically creates parametric openings.

Scan to BIM modeling is more efficient with the enhanced BIMQUICKWALL that can detect wall width from a point cloud section.

Super-charge your productivity by importing from the vast selection of families supplied by manufacturers and import vital information along with accurate geometry natively in BricsCAD BIM.

You can now create new BCF issues and upload them to your favorite BCF cloud service immediately.

New IFC types for lighting fixtures and infrastructure to be more consistent with buildingSMART requirements.

The BIM Project Browser now makes the creation and restructuring of sheets easier with drag-and-drop functionality and Typed Plans specification. You can create new BOM, import, and create new DWG files.

Creating 2D sheet layouts is now easier and more flexible with drag and drop, existing layout import, multiple views per sheet, multiple sheets per section, and additional controls on Typed Plans, templates, naming and sheet sizes.

The Typed Plans editor has been redesigned to significantly improve user friendliness and reduce complexity.

Stairs in BricsCAD BIM now get an automatic and adapted 2D representation on sheets, and the BIMSTAIR command panel has also been updated to be more user-friendly.

The BOM Manager, previously only available in BricsCAD Mechanical, has been integrated into BricsCAD BIM to increase quantity take-off capabilities significantly.
