Thanks to Bricsys 24/7's built-in 3D viewer, every person working on a project can open, explore, and annotate 3D models whenever they need to, even without CAD software installed on their machine. This includes all BricsCAD native .dwg files.

Online viewer

You can upload, download, share, and view 3D models from your browser, without installing any software. There is also a direct connection from BricsCAD and BricsCAD BIM to Bricsys 24/7 so now it's even easier to share your files!

No experience? No problem!

Bricsys 24/7 online 3D viewer is super easy to use, even with no experience working with CAD programs. Rotate and zoom in and out of the model, all from your browser. Use Bricsys 24/7's native tools to create a slice through the building. You can even add annotations to the models and you have full control over who can see the comments: keep them private, just share with the architect or make them viewable to everyone.

View BIM files in-browser

If you have projects with vast amounts of BIM data and plenty of associated documents, that's no problem. 24/7's model server manages all of the information required in a construction project.

It's easy to browse through a model's structure. Use the panel on the left-hand side of the screen to isolate an element and access any additional data related to that entity. You can query, merge, and filter the view depending on your individual needs.

Full external reference file management

In addition, Bricsys 24/7 supports models using external references (XRefs). Bricsys 24/7 will recognize and automatically manage links between files.

XRefs allow a single file to reference other files and are typically used in large projects to keep down file sizes and allow people to work on different parts of a model at the same time. Learn more about XRefs.

More file types

Bricsys 24/7 doesn't just support .dwg and CAD files! It also offers in-browser support for over 70 different file types. Find the complete list of file types supported by Bricsys 24/7.
