Many other options are available like Archicad which is more user-friendly and easier to learn or more advanced solution like Digital project made famous as it is used by Franck Gehry architect to design his incredible geometries. Revit is by far the most popular, but of course BIM is not Revit ! BIM software to design a project with BIM model BIM & CAD software CAD SoftwareĪllow to create a BIM model whether it is 3D, 2D or BIM, parametric or notīim modelling software are obviously the most important part of the eco-system and the very minimum software you need to start BIM.

We built this list of the best BIM software available in 2022 to make it easy for everyone interested to find a BIM software and understand what is possible to do with BIM.

But a global understanding of what all BIM software are doing is important. Not all users need all software of course. For more information, check out the associated Database file and Forum thread, and as always, feel free to join the conversation in the comments section below.Finding a software you need in the BIM environment can be a hard job, as there are many software out there.

SkyriseEdmonton will be sure to return to this project as progress continues. Completely hands on and fully manipulative, the model can be exploded, flipped, tilted, and opened up at whim - the perfect pastime for the many architecture and design geeks among us. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the project (for now, at least) is the A360 Autodesk 3D model of the structure which can be accessed online. Natural light will be a major factor in the design, the ample windows and skylights to help bring the outdoors in.ĪUPE HQ, A360 Autodesk 3D model, image via Autodesk Inside, AUPE HQ will be airy and bright, its asymmetrical footprint to necessitate the creation of irregular, yet efficient spaces. The structure will make use of a number of green materials and mechanical systems, including solar power, in an effort to reduce the office block's carbon footprint and heating/cooling costs.ĪUPE Headquarters, interior view, image via Next Architecture The new home of AUPE, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, has been designed unconventionally in an effort to foster a number of aims, from interpersonal creative collaboration to environmental sustainability.ĪUPE Headquarters, urban context view, image via Next Architecture The multi-volume, four-storey, modern commercial building will encompass 120,000 square feet of top tier office space, set for completion by 2020.ĪUPE Headquarters, image via Next Architecture Coming soon to West Edmonton, to the intersection of 100 Ave NW and 182 St NW, the new AUPE Headquarters by Next Architecture will be sure to inject a significant degree of modernist design to an often overlooked corner of the city.
