Edificius Reviews & Product Details

I especially appreciate the unique workflow that allows for an immediate and intuitive transition from 2D to 3D. The quality of the modeling and graphic rendering makes the project clear and easily communicable, with the advantage of working in an orderly and efficient manner in a single environment. The initial setup of Edificius was also simple and quick. Moreover, it captivated me right away, being very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features could be further simplified to make the workflow even faster, especially in the initial learning stages. Additionally, further performance optimization on very complex projects and an expansion of some libraries could further improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Edificius because it is a complete and intuitive BIM that integrates architectural modeling, interior design, terrain, and systems in a single environment. It allows you to quickly switch from 3D to drawings to renders to calculations, reducing time and errors. I appreciate the IFC support for good interoperability and the real-time rendering and management, which are effective both for presentations and for interventions on existing buildings. It is a modern and accessible solution, powerful yet easy to use. I also find that the ease of use and immediacy of learning make Edificius an accessible tool right from the start, even for those approaching BIM for the first time. The installation was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the selection and movement of parametric elements in Edificius, and I think they could be made simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly appreciate the flexibility and essential nature of Edificius, which perfectly adapt to the needs of the architectural designer. The cost is fair and I don't need to waste time modeling parametric objects. It allows me to do a complete computation. Additionally, setting up the software initially was very easy.

Managing rasters and DWG references in the drawings is somewhat problematic. It would be useful to be able to crop images and import DWGs more precisely, especially by assigning different thicknesses to various entities. Additionally, I would like to better manage the modification and solid modeling of 3D objects directly with Edificius CAD, rather than using third-party programs, since it is provided with Edificius.

I like the ease of use of Edificius, the ability to manage external models, and its interoperability with ACCA products. It is effective in processing the model, providing feedback very close to reality, and I appreciate the ability to access an extensive database of 3D blocks. It is easy to teach to those without a BIM background, and in about a month, new users are able to produce their first models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have some issues with the insertion of threshold materials that often do not interact with the material of the openings, creating readability problems during rendering. The program should allow the association of the door or window cut with the material of the nearby opening and not leave it blank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of creating sections and elevations after having created the plan. I also appreciate the presentation of the graphic boards, particularly the colors, the variety of available options, and the details. Furthermore, I must say that the assistance has always been very impeccable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layers should be improved, there are too many steps to name a layer. The management of snaps is not precise and you have to zoom in a lot. Edificius does not handle movement under a centimeter well. If you create multiple plans, selecting in 3D is complicated; it would be useful to have a label next to the dashed line in 3D. The sections are not clear at the intersections of horizontal slabs and vertical envelopes and require a lot of time to modify the dimensions. The customization options for dimensions are few and the altimetric dimensioning in the plan only refers to the level, it would be useful to dimension everything that has different levels. I spent a lot of time understanding the software, even though the support was impeccable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Edificius because it is quite simple and intuitive, which is great for an architectural design BIM program. I appreciate that it can communicate with more well-known programs like Revit, which is essential for integration with other platforms used in other studios, avoiding the loss of features in saving formats. Additionally, the initial installation was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is indeed intuitive for certain things, but since there are so many commands, remembering all the functions is quite complex, as I don't use it daily at the moment. If for certain commands, like for the creation of a wall stratigraphy, a sequence of command requests were to open, perhaps it would be more immediate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the speed of Edificius, which is superior to many other programs. Its completeness and ease of use are excellent, especially for new collaborators. I also like how it interacts well with other acca programs, like Edilus. Furthermore, the cost difference and ease of use compared to Allplan were important reasons why part of my team chose to switch to Edificius. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great for simple things. But when you want to complicate the project, it prevents you from doing so. There would be many examples, like slanted walls. It only draws them vertically. Files often get corrupted. You cannot make multiple variants within the same file, perhaps with a 'Layer' function like in other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the speed with which I draft project documents thanks to Edificius. The integration with other ACCA software and the rendering application allows me to save a lot of time. I love the ability to see the project's evolution in real-time, which helps me quickly modify choices like materials, dimensions, colors, and more. This also helps clients immediately understand the project's transformations. I find the configuration process quite easy, as I was already familiar with the Termus BIM interface. Additionally, the support is superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's a bit laborious Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Edificius and how intuitive it is. The tools are easy to find, making the learning curve smooth. Additionally, the fact that I can use UsBIM at no cost is an advantage for me. The quick response from the technical team also pleases me, as does the monthly service fee, which I consider fair. The initial setup process was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The object modeling within Edificius could be improved. I miss a functionality similar to the Morph in Archicad. Additionally, in the kitchen object, I would like to have custom models. Since I don't have the paid SketchUp and don't know how to use Blender, this has become a difficulty for me in modeling a custom object. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the complete BIM integration of Edificius. It allows me to work on the entire project in a single environment: model, plans, renders, and documentation always synchronized. This avoids inconsistencies, speeds up changes, and improves coordination at every stage of the design. It also helps me integrate modeling and plans into a single flow, which prevents errors and saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The import of files from other BIM programs like Revit. This would speed up the possibility of working on the same project (file) with both programs. Additionally, the learning curve is slow at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
