BricsCAD®BricsCAD®
BricsCAD® is a professional CAD software solution for engineers, planners and technical designers. As a native DWG platform, it is suitable for precise 2D drawings, 3D models and reliable data exchange with other project participants. BBSoft® offers BricsCAD® as a standalone CAD solution and also uses the software as the technical foundation for system modules such as road and sewer planning or surveying.
BricsCAD® is a native DWG platform for 2D, 3D and BIM – the ideal CAD foundation for BBSoft®.
Features at a glance
BricsCAD® – CAD software for civil engineering
With BricsCAD®, you can create and edit site plans, alignments, utility systems and structures directly within the familiar DWG workflow. In combination with BBSoft®, this becomes a practical planning system for civil engineering: BricsCAD® provides the CAD foundation, while BBSoft® adds engineering standards, specialist modules and workflows for infrastructure planning.

Getting started with professional CAD planning should not begin only after graduation. That is why BricsCAD® is also attractive as an Education licence: the academic licence provides access to professional CAD tools and creates a direct connection to later practical work in engineering offices, planning offices or civil engineering authorities. In combination with BBSoft® trial versions, typical civil engineering workflows can be explored at an early stage, for example road planning, sewer planning, surveying or DTM creation.
- Free entry through academic licence models
- Professional CAD environment for education, studies and practical projects
- Ideal preparation for professional work in civil engineering
- Can be combined with BBSoft® trial versions
- Suitable for universities, vocational schools and technical training programmes
