IFCLint is browser-based BIM software for validating, correcting, and enriching IFC model files online without installation. It checks models against project-specific requirements, supporting IFC 2x3, IFC 4, IFC 4.3, IDS 1.0, and BCF 2.1 standards, and generates detailed reports in HTML, PDF, JSON, or BCF formats. A 3D viewer highlights geometry issues. Users can modify properties, property sets, and quantities directly in the browser, previewing changes before applying them. Missing mandatory properties are auto-fixed per IDS rules, with versioning preserving the original model. Enrichment features add materials, classifications, and product data using templates and rule-based logic. Models can be exported via filtered extraction or BCF 2.1 for collaboration. Data storage complies with DSGVO regulations, ensuring auditable validation evidence for acceptance, handover, and archival processes.

SmartRouting is the industrial piping software that works natively inside Autodesk Revit. Instead of moving your project to a separate plant-design tool, it brings spec-driven piping design to the BIM model your team already uses. Route piping and ducting networks in 3D — from scratch, from a piece of equipment, or automatically between two connectors — with elbows, tees, crosses, reducers and caps inserted for you. The SmartInsert module places valves, flanges, fittings and equipment into existing runs, and SmartManager keeps your family catalogue in order (SKEY, end types, materials, pressure class). When it is time to deliver, Smart PCF exports fabrication isometrics to Autodesk Plant 3D / IsoGen with built-in quality checks (SKEY, continuity, bore coherence) and automatic revisioning. The PID Connector links Revit to your Engineering Base P&ID, keeping lines, tags and process data coherent with the 3D model. For brownfield work, point-cloud detection turns laser scans (Cintoo) in

Extruda AI is an AI tool that converts a floor plan you already have into geometry you can edit and files other software can open. Upload a plan as an image, a one-page PDF or a scan, including hand-drawn and scanned paper plans. Extruda reads it into editable walls, rooms, doors and windows, with a 2D drawing and a 3D view in the browser. You can correct and reshape the layout before you export, and no CAD licence is needed. What you can export (Pro plan and above): - Layered DXF for AutoCAD and other CAD tools - IFC for Revit, ArchiCAD and other BIM tools - A lit Blender scene (.blend), glTF/GLB and OBJ for 3D work - An SVG plan sheet PNG and print to PDF are available on every plan. Beyond conversion: - Design check: compares the plan against typical ranges and flags circulation, daylight, clearances and privacy issues, with fixes you can preview. This is educational design guidance, not a building-code or permit review. - 3D tours, films and photoreal renders of the furnished plan. - Bill of materials and priced quotes built from the plan's quantities. - Project management for contractors: jobs, clients, progress reports and client feedback links. - iPhone app: capture a plan from a photo or sketch, or scan a room with LiDAR. Who it is for: architects and drafters who need a DXF or IFC from an old drawing, 3D artists who need a model, real estate teams who need tours and visuals, contractors who quote and manage renovations from a plan, and homeowners planning a project. Extruda is in public beta. It runs in the browser, with a companion iPhone app. There is a Free plan; paid plans start at $29.99 a month, and CAD and 3D export starts on Pro at $229.99 a month.

Concept to Completion is a measured survey and drawing app for UK architects, builders, and kitchen and bathroom designers. Draw the walls and type each measurement so it locks, add windows, doors, sockets and services, then design changes over the survey with the client in the room. Elevations come from the plan, 3D shows shadows from the real sun, and check-measure mode highlights anything that differs from the original survey in red. Export PDF packs and DXF. Works offline.

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.

BIMBOX is a construction project platform for architecture, engineering and construction teams. It brings project data into one web workspace, including 2D drawings, 3D models (IFC and Revit), point clouds (E57, LAS and LAZ), drone data, site maps and walkthroughs. Its Sand AI service turns point cloud scans into BIM models. Teams can view and coordinate models and drawings, plan and track work, manage RFIs and issues, store project files and documents, and communicate in project chat. Files are converted automatically for viewing in the browser, so team members don't need desktop BIM software to review them.

ScanToBIM-CAD turns a point cloud of an existing building into a BIM model. You upload a laser scan (E57, LAS, LAZ or PLY; ReCap projects export to E57 first) and see it in your browser within minutes, with a quote measured from the scan itself: the area of each building and floor, and the price. If you order, you get a native Revit model (RVT, opens in Revit 2024 or later with no IFC import step), an IFC for any BIM software, and a DXF drawing set: a dimensioned floor plan for every storey, four elevations and four sections, on sheets. All floors come back in one model from one upload. Walls (straight, diagonal and curved), doors, windows, floor slabs, ceilings, roofs, columns and stairs are modelled, inside and out. The model is usually ready within a few hours, at most 24 hours, and you check it inside your own point cloud before you download. Walls are placed within about 1 cm of your scan (median error, measured on every model we deliver). Building services (pipes, ducts, electrical) and furniture are not modelled. Very noisy scans give better results when cleaned first. Who it is for: surveyors, architects, engineers and firms that would otherwise send their scans to a scan-to-BIM service. Pricing: - Free: upload your scan, view it in the browser, and draw your own model in the editor; no card required. - AI model: from $29 per scan (priced from the scan: the quote shows the price before you order). - Editor Plan: $29/month, cancel anytime (for downloads of your own drawings on further projects). No subscription is needed for the AI model.

RunEnvelope produces architect-grade zoning feasibility reports for any New York City tax lot in minutes. It models every legal development scenario as an actual building with 3D massing, editable DXF per-floor sketch plans, and verbatim NYC Zoning Resolution citations behind every figure. RunEnvelope is an automated zoning feasibility platform for New York City real estate that turns a $1,500 to $10,000 preliminary architectural zoning study taking weeks into an interactive web and white-label PDF report generated in minutes. Covering all 858,284 tax lots across the five boroughs, RunEnvelope answers the first question in every NYC property deal: "What exactly can be built here?" Unlike basic property lookup databases that only quote a single FAR number, RunEnvelope models every legal development pathway side by side, including as-of-right, City of Yes Universal Affordability Preference (UAP), Mandatory and Voluntary Inclusionary Housing (MIH/VIH), community facility, Tower-on-Base, shared housing (SRO), and residential conversions. The engine handles irregular lots, split-zoned parcels, special districts, waterfront blocks, unused air rights, and multi-lot assemblages edge by edge. Every report generates per-floor sketch plans (showing unit footprints, cores, corridors, and stair geometry) downloadable as editable AutoCAD DXF files on standard AIA layers, alongside georeferenced 3D massing exported in DXF, OBJ, GLB, or IFC4 for Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp. Every calculation is traced to the exact section of the NYC Zoning Resolution and Building Code Chapter 5, and evaluates eligibility for 485-x, 421-a, J-51, and ICAP tax programs.
