Also covers

Qonic also appears in these sub-categories:

BIM Coordination

The BIM-coordination placement is in-product clash detection and issue tracking inside the same browser authoring environment. C2 4/5 reflects the documented OAuth 2.1 REST API, and C5 4/5 reflects the Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp integration set.

Alternatives in BIM Authoring

BlenderBIM (Bonsai)

Free, open-source native IFC authoring add-on for Blender (formerly named BlenderBIM, renamed Bonsai in 2024). Built on the IfcOpenShell library, it lets users view, author, and enrich IFC BIM models directly inside Blender, covering modeling, drawing generation, and openBIM workflows. Distinct from the catalog's unrelated existing "Bonsai" entry (hellobonsai.com, a freelancer invoicing SaaS).

Archicad

A full desktop BIM authoring platform from Graphisoft built specifically for architects to model buildings and produce coordinated drawings and documentation.

4.2/5

Vectorworks Architect

A combined CAD-and-BIM design platform from Vectorworks (Nemetschek Group) aimed at architects who want flexible modeling plus documentation in one tool.

4.0/5

BricsCAD BIM

A DWG-native BIM tool (from Bricsys, now under Octave) that adds rule-based BIM modeling and auto-classification on top of a familiar AutoCAD-like drafting environment.
