ELITECAD 3D BIM Software

Free trial version! With the model-oriented 3D CAD software ELITECAD Architecture you playfully develop your BIM ( 3D CAD model ). For this purpose, the complete architecture functionality, such as parametrics for walls, ceilings, windows, roofs, stairs, professional rendering, graphical mass determination, extensive interfaces and libraries are available. The definition of free-form surfaces and the modeling of free 3D bodies are also part of the functionality of the full version.

The BIM (Building Information Modeling) can be displayed photorealistically by means of integrated rendering functionality and is represented in floor plans, views and sections relevant to the planning status. The graphically oriented mass determination provides detailed dimension values and displays them bidirectionally in the database and on the model. 

BIM makes construction more precise, efficient and transparent.

• Building owners and investors get a realistic idea of the building at an early stage. Various ideas and design variants can be run through and discussed on the 3D building model. This facilitates the presentation and the sale.
• All planning-relevant data such as floor plans, sections and elevations are derived from the 3D building model. Central changes have an immediate and correct effect on all data. If you delete a wall in the section or move a window, it is correctly continued in all plans.
• All project participants have access to the same database and can coordinate better.
• Static relationships are easier to recognize.
• All information, including costs, quantities and time sequences, is integrated in the model and can be called up.
• the entire life cycle of the building is mapped.
• BIM is the technical basis for sustainable construction and certifications.

ELITECAD's outstanding features include:

• Parametrically structured architectural components such as walls, ceilings, roofs, roof superstructures, windows, doors, stairs, railings, supports, rafter systems, etc.
• Floor plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and plan sections are associatively linked to the model; changes thus affect all representations.
• The graphically oriented mass determination delivers all values of the building model to the database. Evaluation lists with graphics form the optimal basis for the procurement of offers.
• The integrated rendering engine (ray tracing / radiosity) delivers high-quality images of interior and exterior spaces and relates them to the model.
• With the free-form functionality, you can model arbitrarily complex shapes, which are represented in the plans according to the planning status.
• Interfaces to IFC 2X3, DWG/DXF, SketchUp, 3D PDF, WRL, MI, IGES, SAT, 3DS, U3D, point cloud, pixel formats.
• The building specific library, consisting of over 5000 parts in 2D and 3D for architecture and interior design.
