I'm on my 30 day free trial. I already know that I am going to run out of time before I can really explore the program. The way I was able to learn your biggest rival's products was due to their student licensing scheme. I think that's a huge reason why they carry so much market share. Autodesk products are in every college/university in the U.S. and Canada. As a potential freelancer I am leaning towards Autodesk's AutoCAD LT/Revit LT Suite; a somewhat painful decision as LISP programming is one of my favorite hobbies. But the price actually makes sense.

Looking back to how I learnt Revit, I recall that they had very generous student licensing. It also doesn't hurt that Autodesk products exist in nearly every college and university in the U.S. and Canada. Autodesk has leveraged this to increase their user-base, which is perhaps even more important than the quality of the software itself. I think for BricsCAD BIM to be successful, the user base has to increase. I think that many would agree with me when I say most people won't jump from Autodesk products to BricsCAD BIM if they have to either pay the 1-year subscription fee, nor the perpetual license cost, without knowing whether or not BricsCAD BIM is a viable option. There's no avoiding the fact that Bricsys has to increase their 'BIM' user base, and have some suggestions:

• Provide a longer free trial.
• Provide free 1-year BricsCAD BIM trials for existing BricsCAD licensees. This could attract more people to BricsCAD software itself.
• Create an online BricsCAD BIM course (which includes a student license). Not many schools even know about BricsCAD, so this might be worth the investment. And users would likely be willing to pay a modest fee.
• Lower the price of BIM until it the user base becomes larger. Lowering the price of the subscription may alone be enough. I think the $2,000+ for the perpetual license will deter a lot of users until the program gains a larger following. But more users might be willing to pay a lower subscription fee while they assess whether or not the program is a viable option.

To summarize, I think that Bricsys would do well to increase their user base. I feel like after weight my options, all the pro's and con's, the scale is barely tipping in favor of... big evil... I see tons of potential on BricsCAD's end. I'm also surprised that so few people still have no idea about the software (which highlights my point about the user base).

BricsCAD BIM enables full, CAD-accurate 3D modeling from the very start – unlike conventional BIM, with stop/start workflows. BricsCAD BIM offers simple and accurate modeling tools that carry your 3D massing and study models directly into BIM.

In the industry-leading BIM product, Autodesk Revit, the entire BIM database is held within a single (often enormous) file. BricsCAD’s 3D BIM workflow uses DWGs and XREFs in a unique, managed approach that allows easy multi-user access to a BIM.

BricsCAD’s 3D BIM workflow starts in real, solid 3D models to ensure buildability, and it doesn’t require BIM technicians to make it work.

Create and manage building designs – from concept to construction documentation – in one familiar environment. With BricsCAD BIM, you can use your current CAD skills to smoothly move to creating real Building Information Models in record time. One product, one workflow, all in industry-standard DWG.

Features:

• Conceptual Design Tools
  Conceptualize your designs in CAD-accurate 3D solids.
• Construction Documents
  Automatically generate industry-ready 2D documents from your 3D model.
• Structural Tools
  Represent columns, beams, and other linear elements as smart solids.
• HVAC Modeling Tools
  Model bends, t-connections and flow terminals using BricsCAD BIM’s profile library.
• Design Assistance
  Automate repetitive tasks with AI-driven tools.
• IFC Interoperability
  Share your BIM across all the vertical disciplines in the AEC world.
• Attach Building Data
  Store building materials and compositions in the project database.
• Project Collaboration
  Collaborate on construction projects in the cloud with Bricsys 24/7.

BricsCAD BIM 21 Updates

Brics Bim System

What’s new in version 21:

Bricks Birkdale

• ACTIVATESECTIONVIEW. This new command allows a user to look at the model from a section plane’s perspective, without actually generating the section.
• BIMANALYTICALMODEL. Profiles and eccentricities are supported in the IFC export of analysis models.
• Configurable quantities are now available in the BIM API.
• Bim API for Spaces.
• The material assigned to a profile is now attached to the created solid representation in the BIMAPPLYPROFILE and BIMLINEARSOLID commands.
• The initial size of the BIMAUTOMATCH dialog box is correct now on all screen resolutions.
