Features

Everything a building needs, in one model.

Model it once in 3D. Plans, sections, interiors, schedules and sheets are drawn from that one model and stay in step with it, and IFC and DWG carry it to everyone else.

01 — Modelling

Model the way architects think.

01

Elements with real build-ups

Walls, slabs, roofs and more

Walls, slabs, roofs, columns, beams, stairs, ramps, curtain walls, railings, ceilings and footings, each with its layers, materials and junctions. Composite walls and slabs join skin by skin, and doors and windows are built from frames, leaves, glazing, sills and architraves.

Multi-plane roofs from a footprint, with hips and ridges
Stairs with winders, curved flights and spirals
Curtain walls with door, window and louvre panels
Corner windows, skylights and openings of any shape

02

Click, type, Enter

The way you draw

Every tool works the same way: click a point, type a distance, press Tab for the next value, press Enter. Distance guides show where you are, snapping works in 3D, and editing planes put the sketch on any face. Select something and its edits appear in the top bar; settings stay in the side panel, never in a dialog over your work.

Live distance guides you can retarget and turn into dimensions
Rotate, stretch, offset, fillet and split on every element
Free-form solids, sketches, splines and Rhino 3dm import
Groups, locks, align and distribute

02 — Documentation

Documents that keep up with the design.

Views are drawn from the model, not copied from it. Change a wall and every plan, section, schedule and sheet that shows it follows.

A long section through a villa with its rooms and screens — Fig. 03A section through the whole house, with its depth and grid.

Views

Plans, sections, elevations

Floor plans with their view range, sections and elevations placed the way architects place them, interior elevations made room by room, details, worksheets and 3D documents.

Sheets

A layout book that holds

Masters with title blocks, drawing titles, sheet numbers that stay put, revisions with clouds, transmittals, and publish sets to PDF (with bookmarks and layers), DWG and DXF.

Schedules

Schedules from the model

Doors, windows, walls, rooms, finishes and FF&E, with pictures, totals and keynotes. Edit a cell and the model changes; export to XLSX or CSV.

Annotation

Dimensions, labels and legends that read the model.

DimensionsStyles, chains and automatic exterior rows
LabelsLive labels by element kind, with leaders
KeynotesOn types and materials, with legends per sheet
Levels and gridsSpot levels, storey levels, grid systems in every view

03 — Interoperability

Open by design.

MilliCAD keeps its model as IFC, so what you hand over is the model itself, not an export of something else.

03

Exchange with any office

IFC, DWG, DXF and more

Send consultants IFC 4.3 or IFC 2×3 and get their models back. Send DWG and DXF that AutoCAD edits cleanly, or link their drawings into yours. Take the model to Twinmotion, Blender or SketchUp through glTF.

IFC in and out, keeping element IDs between exchanges
DWG (AutoCAD 2013 by default) and DXF, linked or imported
PDF, SVG, XLSX and CSV for drawings and schedules
glTF, OBJ, FBX and STL for visualisation and printing
