Parameters and constraints associated with the RFA are imported.

This means that BricsCAD can now make use of the huge catalogs of Revit parts on third-party sites. Using BIMify to convert a generic 3D model into a BIM modelīIM V19 now imports RFA family (component) files for use in architectural designs.
#BRICSCAD TERRAIN SOFTWARE#
A typical residential wall is gyproc on the interior, then 2x4" framing, insulation, plastic vapour barrier, exterior wall of plaster or brick or wood - and the software needs to know which walls are exterior and which are interior. It recognizes beam, columns, components, rooms, internal and external walls, and so on.Ĭompositions is the most among the most BIM part of BIM, where the details of walls and floors/roofs are defined.

The BIM module has a new UI that borrows from the free Sketch program, such as a toolbar-like ribbon and video-based help in a panel.īIMify is already two years old, the "AI" command that turns CAD elements into BIM elements. Now we are getting a demo of what's new in BIM for BricsCAD V19. VP of communications Don Strimbu is asking, Who thinks BIM is awesome? Who thinks BIM is too hard? The problem being we don't know what BricsCAD might be called in the future under Hexagon (Intergraph was renamed Hexagon PPM). Steven Johnson offers to lead the group initially, with a few others helping. How independent should it be? Maintaining the independence of the user group is important to attendees. Should it be primarily online? Meet once a year at the annual Bricsys conference, but then meet virtually

What should it do? Maybe discounts for members, reduced ticket prices for the annual conference, wish list, access to beta, exclusive training info, meet with developers existing forum does a good job, so maybe a member-only section What should its goals be? Have Bricsys promote it membership is free hope Bricsys might fund direct expenses exchange information about pain points Should there be a BricsCAD user group? Yes, we'll give it a try. First question on the boar, "Should there be a BricsCAD User Group?" Led by Steve Johnson, who says Bricsys asked him to tackle this. The brief lunch is over, and now it is time for the inaugural BricsCAD user group meeting. So the aim these days is to simplify the use of BricsCAD, and yet represent the details with BricsCAD.

They wanted customers to have a complete solutions. In the slide below, the extra 180 employees come from Bricsys. CADWorkx link is important, because all this began a few years ago when Intergraph ported CADWorx from AutoCAD to BricsCAD. Now hearing from Rick Allen, executive of Hexagon PPM, also president of CADWorx and Analysis Solutions. "Best decision we ever made" was buying the solid modeling from LEDAS. And then they went to write BricsCAD, first based on IntelliCAD, and then rewritten independently of ITC. He is reminiscing about the start of BricsCAD, which goes back to TriForma, which he sold to Bentley - BIM before it was called BIM. By being acquired by Hexagon (which has a major presence in Huntsville Alabama through Intergraph), makes it easier to take on the American market,ĬEO Erik de Keyser is on the stage saying "We are going to rock the industry. To challenge the "A" company (Autodesk) is going to take more resources. The big news, of course, is that Hexagon of Sweden has bought Bricsys, making it part of its PPM devision that also houses Intergraph, famous for being one of the oldest CAD programs ever. We've already had a developer session, where we learned of some of the nuts and bolts about developing add-ons for BricsCAD. Alright, here we are waiting for the official start of Bricsys 2018 conference here in sunny London.
