Acouso

Acouso-ROOM is a Revit-native plugin for detailed room acoustic analysis, combining reverberation calculations with full ray-based acoustic simulation directly inside the building model. Users can visualise sound propagation and reflection paths, investigate how room geometry and material choices affect acoustic behaviour, and assess reverberation performance without leaving Revit. Because the analysis is integrated with the Revit model, users can test design changes without exporting geometry or rebuilding rooms in separate software. Acoustic materials can be assigned and customised within the workflow, helping architects, acoustic consultants and engineers evaluate room acoustics efficiently while keeping analysis connected to the BIM model.

AECoBuild

AECoBuild is a free 3D architectural modeling and visualisation app that runs entirely on your own machine. It combines SketchUp-style Push/Pull modeling with parametric BIM elements, so you can draw a room, extrude it, and drop in layered walls, doors, windows, slabs, roofs and stairs with exact dimensions. Switch to 2D at any time for a textured presentation floor plan with poché walls, door swings, dimension chains and room areas, always in sync with the model. Auto Decor applies a style such as Scandinavian, Japandi or Industrial to a whole room in one undoable step: floors, walls, ceilings and a fitted furniture layout. A live bill of quantities tracks areas, masonry and concrete volumes, finishes, openings and fittings, priced in ₹ or any currency, with full and cut tile counts. Real-time PBR and a GPU path tracer produce photoreal renders. AECoBuild reads and writes IFC, DXF, OBJ, GLB and STL. There is no account and no subscription, and projects stay on your disk. Available for macOS, with Windows coming soon, and in the browser at aecobuild.com/web. Made by CloudBrain, Delhi NCR, India.
