Software for the MEP Design and calculations

LINEAR for Autodesk AutoCAD

Since the early 90s LINEAR develops its CAD software as a powerful application for AutoCAD and its corresponding vertical products AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD MEP. The program families Desktop, Design 3D and Analyse do all work with AutoCAD and make interfaces unnecessary.

LINEAR CADinside as an Alternative

As an interesting alternative to the widely used AutoCAD installations, which allow you to use applications from various origins on an open CAD platform, we also offer you our products as an independent LINEAR CADinside variant. With integrated CAD functionality made by Autodesk. From a single source! If you want to use only individual modules of our extensive CAD Solutions, the economically most reasonable solution might be the variant with an integrated CAD core. The LINEAR solutions are identical in both program versions and of course 100 % compatible.

IFC for the Open BIM Process

The integrated IFC interface also enables BIM-compliant work with AutoCAD or CADinside. The degree of detail, which is only possible when planning in 3D on these CAD systems, can thus be transferred to a BIM process. With the intelligence that a BIM model requires and all the details that enable prefabrication and "as build" planning in the first place.
