Civil Site Design for BricsCAD is an intuitive, feature rich design package that is optimized for residential and commercial subdivision design as well as traditional road and highway design. It provides fast intuitive design tools offering you all the features of Civil 3D without the complexity. With a comprehensive e-learning system, YouTube channel and local support, you will be fully. Don’t know what way Bricscad has exactly chosen for the demo in Paris. Vectorworks recently showed an own solution by using Apples AR Kit, beside their attempts to export models into Browsers. As far as I know, things like OpenGL, rendering, even from CAD Solids Models, 3D Modelers or VR are always based on polygon geometry. Program Demo Version Manuals Drivers Miscellaneous.

Create Bricscad .NET Project template
Just a quick Tip for .NET programmers, You can create a .NET project template in visual studio that automatically references Bricscad’s .NET libraries and pre defined classes.
Step 1, Fire up Visual studio, I am using VS2010 targeting .NET 3.5
Step 2, Reference Bricscad’s .NET DLLs , (don’t forget to set copy to local). From here you can add in what ever code you like, maybe some utility classes you might normally use. I am just going to add in a command class
Step 3, Choose Export Template from Visual Studio’s file menu and follow the directions
I added in Bricscad’s Icon, there is one in the install folder
Bricscad V20 Demo
Click finish, and there you have a new template for creating .NET modules

And there you have it!
