"Edificius, beyond BIM"
What do you like best about Edificius?

Edificius is not just a BIM software, it is a true ally for both architectural, structural, and energy studies. Extremely easy to use, powerful in the realization of projects of all kinds. One of the strengths, for me, lies in the instant update of every drawing (from the plan to the elevation to the section to the axonometry) following even the slightest change of any element, saving me hours of work compared to the classic two-dimensional project on CAD. The customer support is also truly excellent with competent staff. I couldn't do without it anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

I don't think there is anything useless. Of course, like all the best software, there are always some improvements that could be made. Specifically, I would like to be able to manage free tables with cells that perform calculations or, at the very least, integrate OLE objects (like an Excel table or a Word text). Finally, the management of images could be improved by allowing cropping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BIM productivity, integrated workflow, faster revisions"
What do you like best about Edificius?

Edificius stands out for the immediacy of its interface and its effectiveness in modeling and generating project documents, ensuring high-quality output. In my experience, I can report without any doubt about its reliability and productivity.

It is particularly noteworthy the ability to create renderings useful for project control from a compositional point of view. The production of graphic documents is complete and very immediate: any correction during the design phase is automatically updated in all the sheets, an aspect that allows optimizing the study and reducing the evaluation time of different design solutions. Customer support is always punctual and timely. Noteworthy is the integration with the software for the computation of works and, in this case as well, the immediate alignment of the computation with the changes that have occurred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

Advanced 2D construction detail: for some "highly detailed execution" (very complex details), it may be more convenient to integrate with dedicated CAD/drawing or hybrid workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Integrated BIM That Simplifies the Design Workflow"
What do you like best about Edificius?

I like Edificius because it combines BIM and design in a simple and fast way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

I dislike the roof modeling, which is not very flexible for complex roofs, and the lack of automatic snapping and parametric constraints, which forces a lot of manual adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Complete from Day One"
What do you like best about Edificius?

I like the intuitive handling of Edificius, which allows you to use it easily from the first day. The technical support service is outstanding for any questions. I also appreciate having modeling, the ability to create high-quality renders, and immersive reality in the same program, without the need for any additional software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

It could improve the ability to classify directly in Edificius for the future IFC (for example GusBimClass), because now it is necessary to do it later with UsBIM.editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplicity and Precision in One"
What do you like best about Edificius?

What I like most about Edificius is its simplicity and ease of use. Despite its ease and simplicity of use, it is very comprehensive, precise, and provides a large amount of relevant data for the project. The initial setup of Edificius was perfect and very suitable for learning from scratch. I appreciate the ease of transferring from other platforms and other traditional software, such as DWG files or PDF files, and working with them to develop the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

Well, in particular, there is a problem that I have not been able to solve, which is when making the installation plans, keeping the labels of the elements on the plans. When I draft and print them, they appear fine, but when I save the file and try to retrieve it in later phases, the labels have disappeared and the plans do not remain as I originally saved them.

"Intuitive but Improvable in Complexity"
What do you like best about Edificius?

I like the simplicity of use of Edificius and the fact that it works well in basic operations. I also appreciate the speed with which I can understand the project volumes starting from a simple planimetric setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

I find the management of the WINDOW tool complex, especially with the tree scheme for creating customizations. The quality of materials during rendering could be improved, as PBR maps are missing, which would give more realism to the textures. The simplicity in creating photomontages also leaves something to be desired, as it does not allow the background to be excluded for modification with other software. The yellow and red tools are not yet sufficiently advanced for use in building practices, and there is no possibility to create real construction details. Additionally, it was not easy to configure the layout initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Edificius?

This is an excellent BIM software for Architectures . It is very user friendly & has lot of features which give you details like Working Plan, Elevation, Section Views of 3D model .

Since user works in 3D environment , getting 2D drawings in DWG is very useful which eliminates the recreating of DWG drawings

The Bill of Materials, 4D Gantt , Land modules are very impressive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unique and Intuitive Workflow"
What do you like best about Edificius?

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.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

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.

"Powerful and Intuitive BIM Tool"
What do you like best about Edificius?

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.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

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.

"Essential Flexibility and Fair Cost"
What do you like best about Edificius?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Edificius?

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.
