The backbone of modern engineering: CAD software. From ingenious consumer products to finely crafted machine parts and building designs, everything starts with a precise digital drawing. But anyone who’s ever used CAD software knows how steep the learning curve can be. Mastering all the commands and workflows can take months—sometimes years. The golden rule: software should truly unburden the designer. Hence the “A” in
AI in CAD is often pitched as futuristic or experimental. In BricsCAD®, it’s already at work solving everyday frustrations. AI Predict is one of those deceptively simple tools that makes a big difference: it learns how you use BricsCAD and suggests the commands you need, right when you need them. Less time spent hunting through menus means more time spent in flow.
The Information Delivery Specification (IDS), developed by buildingSMART, is a standardized framework designed to address this need. And now, with the implementation of IDS XML into BricsCAD BIM, users gain a powerful tool for automating compliance and aligning deliverables with project requirements. The Role of LOD and LOI in Construction Projects LOD focuses on the geometric fidelity of BIM models, detailing the progression from basic

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is rapidly evolving, driven by the construction industry’s pressing need to enhance productivity, reduce waste, and enable seamless collaboration across project lifecycles. These challenges are further compounded by increasingly complex project demands. To address these issues, government agencies, industry regulators, and policymakers have turned to technology mandates as critical tools for driving change.
Document Management in Construction The construction industry faces several challenges regarding document management. To deliver projects on time and within budget, project managers must easily maintain document version control, manage user access to documents, and streamline approval processes. Poor document management inevitably leads to complications, delays, efficiency loss and increased costs down the line. Alongside document management, review processes are
