What is BIM with ideCAD?
ideCAD distinguishes itself from other architectural and structural design software with several unique features.
ideCAD's unique combination of integrated BIM workflow, advanced structural analysis and design capabilities, user-friendly interface, and affordable pricing makes it a compelling choice for architects, structural engineers, and construction professionals seeking a comprehensive and efficient design solution.
Integrated BIM Workflow:
ideCAD offers a truly integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow. If seamless collaboration between architectural and structural design is crucial for your projects, ideCAD excels in this area. ideCAD's integrated approach ensures that changes made in the architectural model are instantly reflected in the structural model and vice versa. This minimizes errors, improves coordination, and streamlines the entire design process. Many other structural software packages lack this level of integration, requiring cumbersome import/export processes and manual coordination.
