BricsCAD Drawing
Bricsys's BricsCAD is a significant player in the Computer Aided Design (CAD) software landscape. It offers a compelling alternative to other CAD software, with its ability to keep pace with the latest DWG file format. It has the following features:
- DWG Compatibility: The ability to read and write the latest DWG file format, which is the native format of AutoCAD and supported by many other CAD applications. DWG files can store 2D and 3D geometry data, as well as project metadata, such as layers, blocks, dimensions, etc.
- BricsCAD Plug-ins: Automesher Application and Automapki Application plug-ins for BricsCAD allow you to import and export 3D and GIS data from various external file formats, such as STL, SKP, OBJ, SHP, KML, etc. This enhances the interoperability of BricsCAD with other design tools and platforms.
- ObjectBRX Technology: The customization technology for BricsCAD provided by Bricsys, which we use to develop our BricsCAD plug-ins. This ensures optimal integration with the BricsCAD environment and efficient translation of your external file formats, making BricsCAD an even more powerful tool for design professionals.
Graphics Language Transmission File
A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models. It has the following features:
- GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
- GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
- ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
- Embedded Textures: GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.
GLTF File Converters: Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.
