Instead of creating a set of dedicated BIM primitives like walls, slabs, columns, etc..., each with their own restricted behavior and properties, we opted for offering maximum flexibility. Any 3D Solid can be used in a BIM model, whether it is created and edited by using existing BricsCAD modeling tools, new powerful BIM commands, or even imported from 3rd party software or edited by 3rd party tools.
At any stage one can decide to classify 3D Solid, or other entities, as Building Elements of type Wall, Slab, Column, etc... Classification can be done automatically and manually.
The automatic classification tool analyzes and classifies entire buildings in a few seconds.
Compositions can be assigned to the various solids of the BIM model. Compositions can be composed of either a single ply or a multiply material. Compositions and materials are saved in a project database, which is either embedded in the BIM model file or in an external library.
IFC import/export ensures optimal cooperation with other disciplines and applications.
