"Create, collaborate and validate building designs in one workspace."

What it does.

Nexus Design is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) platform for creating, editing and reviewing building models in 2D and 3D. It combines IFC-based modelling, design information, live teamwork, model checking and interactive presentation in a connected workflow.

Start with an IFC file or floor-plan drawing, refine building elements and their properties, and collaborate with your team in real time. Check model integrity and IDS requirements, then present the design through previews and first-person walkthroughs. Connect your AI to the AI builder for assisted modelling.

Nexus Design 3D house model and building element tools

IFC-based modelling

Create and edit building elements while keeping design information connected to the model.

Model quality checks

Run model integrity and Information Delivery Specification (IDS) checks. Identify issues and unmet requirements, then refine the model.

AI-assisted building

Connect your AI to the AI builder and ask it to build, adding an assisted modelling option to your workflow.

What's inside.

Nexus Design: Create and refine models

Create and refine models

Start with an IFC file or a floor-plan drawing. Create walls, slabs, doors and windows in 2D and 3D, then navigate the model through its storeys and elements.

Nexus Design: Manage design information

Manage design information

Edit element properties, add property sets and adjust wall designs. Modify wall types and draw with the active type to support consistent modelling.

Nexus Design: Collaborate in real time

Collaborate in real time

Work side by side in a live session. Project sharing and version management help teams coordinate their work as the design develops.

Nexus Design: From floor plan to model

From floor plan to model

Use a floor-plan drawing as a starting point. Set its scale, review detected walls, openings and rooms, and build the model.

Nexus Design: Explore and present

Explore and present

Filter by element class, isolate parts of the model and inspect areas with a section box. Present designs through preview and first-person walkthroughs.
