What can you do with BricsCAD Pro?

Design manufacturing-facility layouts

Optimize layouts for production facilities or retool existing ones in 2D or 3D, all with efficient and intelligent design tools to place equipment and make modifications simply and easily.

Fast and easy access to survey data

With Leica equipment, use the same data model in field data capture, in post-processing and in the CAD environment, greatly reducing the time and effort needed to produce a survey CAD deliverable.

Create optimized TIN surfaces from point clouds

Import and configure large point-clouds and filter unnecessary points to quickly create the optimum workable TIN surface as a basis for land surveying design work.

Validate 2D and 3D designs in a single platform

Leverage efficient and intelligent design tools to visualize component positions and highlight potential interferences.

Increase your productivity with intelligent design tools

Explore BricsCAD's AI-enhanced features to optimize 2D drawing workflows with intelligent automation for optimal drawing performance.

BLOCKIFY

For higher-performing DWG drawings, BLOCKIFY automatically converts 2D entities and 3D solids to block definitions. Locate repetitive 2D and 3D entities or geometry to match existing blocks, convert repeated solids to blocks, and autodetect nested blocks.

COPYGUIDED

COPYGUIDED copies an entity, and the guide-curve geometry selected, to align, flip, snap, and trim a copied entity automatically and accurately to other entities with pre-selected guide curves. You can quickly replace, repair, or erase entity geometry across a drawing without manual fixes and repetition.

QUAD

QUAD is a user-intuitive, AI-based palette for one-click access to common draft and design commands. QUAD removes repetitive actions as it learns the unique tools and processes you use, appearing dynamically at the cursor to offer information about entities, drawings, and editing functions.

2D AUTOCONSTRAIN

In one click, 2D AUTOCONSTRAIN applies parameters and constraints intelligently and automatically. You can apply geometric and dimensional controls from the Parameters Manager panel for fast design changes and easy reuse.

DWGHEALTH

DWGHEALTH streamlines drawings by combining multiple, intelligent BricsCAD commands in one drawing health tool. Use PURGE, AUDIT, SIMPLIFY, OVERKILL, BLOCKIFY, and OPTIMIZE to minimize drawing size, remove unused elements, and enhance quality for better performance.

With the powerful 3D modeling tools in BricsCAD Pro, you can leverage 2D data. Work smarter with parametric and direct modeling in BricsCAD for precise control and freedom to design.

3D visualization, 2D output
Leverage 2D data and create 3D Solid geometry from 2D cross-sections to check for interferences/clearances. Use the solid geometry to build component details and take cross-sectional views for calculations in 2D drawings.

Edit 3D geometry and create production data
Collaborate with supplier data by importing neutral CAD formats with the import function. Enjoy access to direct modeling tools to edit solid geometry and deliver accurate 2D content.

Compelling visualization with 3rd party apps
Create photo-quality images, animations, and interactive and immersive content by leveraging your 3D CAD data. Link data directly to real-time visualization tools, such as Twinmotion and Lumion.

3D geometry from primitive shapes
Predefined 3D solids act as a building block for creating solid geometry. Used with direct modeling tools, users can easily modify them to quickly develop design concepts.

Sketch Based Features
Create complex 3D solids for concept visualization, using standard 3D commands. Feature parameters enable users to quickly edit the design and get instant updates to linked documents.

Direct editing for solid geometry
Modify imported solid geometry with powerful direct editing commands. The common editing tools allow users to add or remove material from solid or surface bodies to show design intent.

BricsCAD Pro comes with tools created specifically for how surveyors work. Harness your survey data to create accurate CAD Deliverables. Import and manage survey data from total stations or GPS to generate annotated drawings, analyze deed information, and create TIN surfaces for contour display.

Import and manage survey data
Utilize ASCII point files, survey data, and GIS data within a DWG to continue a project.

Generate annotated drawings
Generate DWGs using survey input, with surveyor-specific tools: transparent commands, curve calculator, tables, and labels.

Analyze deed and cadastral information
Use common polyline commands to generate basic closure reports.

Create TIN surfaces and display contours
Accurately build TIN surfaces: filter points, adjust breaklines, display and detail contours, and use surface smoothing to fine-tune a TIN surface.

Share TIN surfaces across drawings
Smart referencing enables lightweight parallel working with the same TIN surface. Any design changes to the original drawing prompts other users to update to the newest iteration.

Fast and easy access to survey data from Leica instruments
One-click import enables survey data to flow from field to CAD with consistency, completeness, and accuracy.

Practical and accurate tools for construction staking

Import, prepare, and export data for accurate location in the field.

Import and manage design data
Import survey points from field instruments, filter and select through enhanced point group UI functionality, and import LandXML or Civil 3D objects.

Prepare data for location in the field
Generate civil data and prepare for export to survey equipment or enhanced LandXML.

Export data to survey instruments
Export to LandXML or connect field instruments to Bricsys® 24/7 and import data.

Create as-built drawings and CAD deliverables
Create a set of as-built drawings as part of a CAD-deliverables package.

Open. Optimize. Output.

Use multiple data types within a single CAD environment to design quickly. You can import, edit, and export GIS data, Civil 3D data, and LandXML.

Use GIS data in one CAD environment
Roundtrip GIS data and create GIS layers from scratch or edit existing files with familiar CAD tools in a GIS workflow. Import, filter and search, edit and create, and export to SHP.

Use LandXML to exchange data
Import, edit, and export data, including point groups, alignments, surfaces, and 3D Strings, using the industry-standard LandXML format.

Work with Autodesk® Civil 3D data
Use displayed proxy Civil 3D objects as a reference or import Civil 3D objects to BricsCAD civil objects for easy access to object information and use for further design.
