ARES CAD Software now let’s you select objects and read their BIM properties. While viewing and rotating the BIM project you can select objects. The BIM Navigator will highlight them in the Elements tree and the Properties Palette will display their BIM properties. Alternatively, you may select the objects from the elements tree and they will be highlighted in the project.
The BIM Navigator palette enables you to import and view one or multiple BIM files in ARES Commander. Supported formats include IFC (versions 2X3, 4 and 4×2), as well as RVT (Revit versions 2011 through 2020). You can further use the filters to show/hide only the objects you need, combining criteria such as the discipline, category, floor, class, or other BIM properties.
CADprofi Plugins helps in designing architectural and mechanical projects, as well as plumbing and electrical installations.
Graebert continues to drive innovation into the (.dwg) CAD file format—exciting this year’s attendees with uniquely positioned options for integrations into the AEC BIM market along with strong advances in its cloud technologies with ARES Kudo.
Graebert Software of Berlin, Germany, has become the second-largest vendor of 2D CAD software by mostly staying in the shadows.
![“CAD vendors can no longer wait to migrate to the cloud, but they also realize that it will most likely take more than 10 years before the number of cloud users [will outstrip] the number of traditional on-premises users.” — Wilfried Graebert, founder and CEO, Graebert](https://www.graebert.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/facebook-quote-wilfried-Graebert-20.01.2020-300x225.jpg)
Wilfried Graebert, founder and CEO of Graebert, weighs in on the continuing importance of 2D. “When the first PLM, BIM, or GIS solutions emerged, many were claiming that 2D drawings would disappear…
Graebert ARES Kudo significantly outperforms Autodesk AutoCAD Web in head-to-head independent testing. The white paper, “Comparing Cloud-based CAD Systems from Autodesk and Graebert,” is written by well-known CAD expert Ralph Grabowski. The paper described the results of testing and details the two products feature by feature.
