in BricsCAD BIM

Hi guys, is there any architectural add on for bricks similar to cadsta arch. Cad international was developing smart architect to work on it but have discontinued a while ago. Is there any current software that works on it that has doors, walls, windows, roofs, shadow diagrams etc? Ideally I'd love it if bricks added it in their software but no one seems to get back to me on it, I have contacted them a few times.

Thanks guys

    Hello.

    Concerning architectural modeling, Bricscad includes a BIM module.
    The overall workflow is to create a 3D model and then 2D plans based on the 3D model.

    To get an idea of how this works, you could attend the BIM Essentials course on the learning page.

    Thanks for the response, u was hoping for something more along the lines of drawing my plans in plan view but in 3d which is what I do now but I can generate 2d elevations outlines off of the 3d model/ plan I just drew. I can then add hatch etc into those elevations. Is there a link to those videos you mentioned?

    This was done over 30 years ago, its like 2.5D draw all in plan view including roofs, but it produces a 3d effect, yes there was Elevations etc. It was developed for simple housing projects. The windows can be on outside or see through. The code used an end users layer names, a nice subtle enhancement.

    Yes I was involved in its development. It should run on Lite version, I test on pro version.
