In v21, Bricsys takes the first step in generating 2D floor plans from point clouds through the new DetectFloor command. Those who lived through the raster-to-vector transformations of the late 1980s understand the challenge well. These days, the tough task is turning the scatteredness of point clouds into the precision of 3D geometry. Cropped sections of point clouds can be exported to. A new point cloud processing engine uses background processing and multi-threading to manipulate and navigate point clouds faster.

In V21, BricsCAD Lite can view point clouds added to drawings by a higher license. vrm (Virtual Reality Model), which points to folders containing the point cloud files stored in an optimized format. rcp) in the background to its project format.

Two releases ago, Bricsys added the ability to import point cloud data, albeit indirectly. Third-party developers provide some of the missing elements. Missing is cut-and-fill balancing, which minimizes earth haulage and then adjusts the alignment to match. Cuts and fills update automatically as users use grips to move the alignment horizontally and vertically. V21 defines slopes for cuts and fills (embankments). There is no design analysis for pavements or bridge strengths. BricsCAD can apply multiple corridor templates to make the road change along its length, such from road to bridge. There still is no input criteria, which for roads is design speed, which determines horizontal and vertical curvatures.Ĭross-sections being applied to bridges and roadwaysĪ “corridor” is a 3D cross-section that defines the elements of road and bridges (see figure above). The new accuracy factor forces profiles to match existing groups, followed by optional manual edits with grips or with the Properties panel to manipulate stations, grades, elevations, and so on. For roadway design, V21 adds spirals (needed for horizontal road curves) and parabolas (for vertical road curves). This year's release allows users to map a 2D satellite photo onto a clipped 3D TIN (terrain) file, and then model in 3D on top of it. Or, as Bricsys calls it, “visually-correct linear infrastructure modeling.” Well, it's not the broad range of civil engineering activities I know from my university days, but a narrower focus on terrain modeling and roadway design. Last year, Bricsys branched to another discipline, civil engineering. The leapfrogging is possible because Bricsys programs a single CAD package it's much harder, for instance, for a Dassault to add a Catia function to a Solidworks.

Over the last decade, Bricsys used advances in one area (say BIM) to advance other areas, such as in mechanical CAD. Once Bricsys established independence for its general CAD program, it branched out into verticals, specifically ones involving architectural and sheet metal design, with significant nods to 2D and 3D mechanical drawings. The CopyGuided command was added last year, and this year V21 adds MoveGuided, which heals related entities when, say, a door moved in a wall or a window is removed. The Simplify command reduces the number of vertices in overly-verticed polylines, such from 350,000 to 450 vertices in the demo we were shown. As you change settings in the Optimize’s dialog box, the drawing updates in real time to show you which entities will be affected.ĭeciding which lines get to be straightened-out This is handy for imported point clouds, which tend to have come up with lines that are rather shaky. The new Optimize command fixes drawings by closing gaps and forcing lines horizontal/vertical/45-degrees within tolerances. For instance, change the size of any part of a chair, and all connected items change appropriately. These can be edited in the BEdit environment, and seems to solve the painful problem of trying to figure out how to add parametrics to (dynamic) blocks.Īny parameter can now be geometry-driven. This is useful for imported drawings and ones that were poorly drawn in two ways: makes drawing file sizes smaller, and makes them easier to edit: changing one block changes all instances of it in the drawing, like replacing all chairs in a drawing at once.īricsCAD V21 automatically adds 2D and 3D constraints to make blocks parametric, and creates associative arrays when the modeler finds repetitive patterns of 2D entities. Two years ago, Bricsys introduced Blockify, a command that converts identical 2D entities into one block with one click.
