Model in 2D/3D | Edificius | ACCA Software

You can quickly model in 2D/3D with parametric BIM objects and design buildings with advanced drawing tools

Edificius is the best architectural design software solution combined to BIM modelling for simple, fast and intuitive design results.

Master BIM program architecture with Edificius. You can work in 2D or directly in 3D with dedicated BIM parametric objects such as beams, columns, walls, etc. and dynamically get floor plans, elevations, sections, axonometries, isometrics cut-away... All from just a 2D or 3D input!

Any editing on the BIM model corresponds to an automatic and dynamic variation of all views and all project drawings.

Thanks to the standard IFC format and advanced automatic object recognition functions:

you can create a project starting from a BIM model generated with another architectural modelling software such as Revit^®, ArchiCAD^®, etc.
easily exchange data and collaborate with other designers involved (structural calculation, energy performance, plant engineering, etc.) in the realization of the project.

Try Edificius: you will get a free 3D architectural design software with the complete set of features

Obtain the project drawings from the model | Edificius | ACCA software

Obtain the project drawings automatically from the model

How often do you need to update the documentation after changes or corrections to your models?

With Edificius and the BIM modelling from 2D/3D architectural design, you can dynamically update your architectural drawings and all the project documentation (floor plans, cross-sections, elevation views, axonometries, isometric cut-away illustrations, perspectives, architectural reports, tables and schedules, land elevation profiles).

Drawings are dynamically connected with the BIM model; whenever the project changes, all relating documents and views will also be automatically updated.

Compose working drawings using simple drag & drop operations: just drag the drawings into paper space (including renders of your architectural project) and arrange them according to your creativity needs.

You can export all the graphics in DXF/DWG/DWF format and the reports in RTF format.

Furthermore, for the objects "Room", "Envelope", "Door" and "Window" Edificius groups in synthetic tables all the information related to assigned architectural zones, characteristics, materials and models, metric and geometric data, material layers, etc.

In addition to drawing models, with Edificius you get dynamic BoQ directly from the architectural model.

Manage re-modelling projects, renovations and variations with the Project Group workflow (Demolish and Build)

Apart from being a 3D architectural software, it offers a dedicated environment for addressing re-modellings and project variations:

design project variations and renovations with specific phasing tools to demolish, rebuild or modify architectural objects from existing to new
dynamically compare the architectural BIM models that represent the "Surveyed Situation" and "Design Stage"
print the comparison drawing models and the relating BoQs

Use the photo-match tool to evaluate the project’s impact in true context

Edificius is an architect design software with extremely advanced functions for scene photo-matching and photo editing.

Simply upload a photo and the software allows you to reconstruct the perspective, locate the orthogonal planes, set the vanishing lines and position the 3D model over the image and apply visibility, transparencies and shadows to get an even more realistic effect.

With a rendered image using the photo match tool you can even add further photo editing effects.

Professional renders | Edificius | ACCA software

Produce photo-realistic and highly professional renders instantly

Thanks to the integration with AMD’s Radeon™ ProRender Ray Tracing Engine, Edificius uses its Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning Denoiser) to produce high quality renders at super-high speed, without wasting time making adjustments and above all without doing any post-processing with other dedicated software.

The use of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials and IBL (Image-based lighting) technologies guarantee extremely highly photo-realistic quality results and extraordinary light and reflection effects.

TestimonialsWhat they say about us

"I discovered Edificius thanks my thesis tutor. During my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Seville, we wouldn’t normally have access to this type of software for academic training purposes. In this case Francisco Villena gave me the opportunity to make a 3D model of a building and suggested me to use this software. I then searched online for further information and immediately found it very interesting."

by sharing a link to view the project on a common browser (find out more);

What is the buildingSMART IFC certification for?

IFC is the "common" file format, information model, which allows all designers belonging to a team (architects, structural engineers, MEP engineer, etc.) to exchange their BIM models, regardless of the native software or formats used.

Edificius can import and export in the standard IFC format.

Edificius can import and export in IFC 2x3 format because it has achieved the buildingSMART International IFC Coordination View 2.0 certifications.
