BricsCad Ultimate

CAD suites these days come in all shapes and sizes and are most often characterized by insane amounts of functionality, which comes at the expense of overly complex approaches, as well as cluttered packages, which more often than not contain a plethora of tools and features that address a wide range of uses. BricsCad Ultimate tries to offer a different approach, by providing a more balanced package, aimed at replacing established suites, such as AutoCAD, providing versatile functionality, but without the associated inherent complexity.

Right from the start, I was not surprised by the fact that BricsCad Ultimate comes sporting a rather classic design, which resembles those found in some of the most common CAD suites these days, reliant on tabs for deploying functionality.

I feel that the provided design manages to offer ample accessibility, as well as sufficient in-depth details for each task or process that might be addressed. Consequently, the app carries a rather simple design, but without compromising on features.

The amount of functionality provided by BricsCad Ultimate far exceeds the parameters of a simple test, and I found myself sufficiently impressed by the number of tasks and processes that can be addressed with it.

Both classic elements, which are in relation to object design, or more intricate ones, pertaining to visualization, civil elements, parametrization, and more, are addressed, leaving little to be desired in terms of functionality, really; especially considering its compact design.

While not as complex as more established CAD suites, this application doesn’t compromise versatility and flexibility through its tool collection. Instead, it offers it in a minimalist, streamlined design, optimized for accessibility.
