GstarCAD BIM

GstarBIM

Integrated BIM software for architecture and interior design. Reimagine the future of design.

GstarBIM is a dedicated BIM platform for architects, interior designers, and building project teams. It is not a CAD tool — it is a full Building Information Modelling environment, comparable to Revit® or ArchiCAD, with deep parametric modelling, intelligent object collaboration, and photorealistic rendering built in.

Built on 30 years of ARCHLine technology and developed by Hawk3D (a Gstarsoft company), GstarBIM combines the precision of CAD with rapid visual design capabilities, enabling automatic updates across the entire model when any design change is made.

GstarBIM provides end‑to‑end BIM solutions from concept to implementation for architecture, interior design, and beyond. Available on Windows.

Perpetual licence — standalone or network. No annual subscription required.

Perpetual license — standalone or network

Own GstarBIM with a perpetual licence and no recurring fees. Choose standalone for individual workstations or a network licence to share access across your team.

True BIM — not just CAD

Walls, windows, doors, stairs, columns and slabs are intelligent building objects, not just lines. Change a wall and connected elements update automatically.

50+ format compatibility

Import from Revit, SketchUp, IFC, DWG, FBX, 3DS, point clouds and more. Export to IFC, RVT, PDF, SKP, FBX, OBJ and every format your project team needs.

Interior design & photorealistic rendering

Design interiors with dedicated tools and render photorealistic images via built‑in Thea Render — materials, lighting, and scene visualisation included.

Open BIM & buildingSMART compatible

Enable lossless data transfer based on the IFC standard and integrate with the buildingSMART bSDD service for consistent, structured project data.

Built for Windows

Windows‑native platform engineered for the performance demands of full BIM modelling and rendering workflows. Available on current 64‑bit Windows.

BIM WORKFLOW

Model once. Update everywhere.

GstarBIM keeps drawings, schedules, visualisations, and documentation linked to a single coordinated BIM model. Change a wall, window, or material once and every connected view updates automatically.

True BIM environment

Intelligent building objects, not just lines.

Walls, windows, doors, stairs, columns, and slabs as fully parametric BIM objects.

Automatic updates across plans, sections, elevations, and 3D views when designs change.

Parametric objects with rules for heights, connections, and compositions.

Interior design & rendering

Design interiors and render photorealistic visuals.

Open BIM & interoperability

Connect with any project team or platform.

CAPABILITIES

What Can You Do with GstarBIM?

GstarBIM is a full BIM platform for architecture and interior design — not a CAD tool. Built on 30 years of ARCHLine technology and developed by Hawk3D (a Gstarsoft company), it combines parametric building modelling, intelligent object collaboration, photorealistic rendering, and deep format compatibility in a single environment. Available on Windows.

Parametric BIM

Intelligent Building Objects. Design Changes Update Everything.

In GstarBIM, every building element is a smart, parametric object. Change a design parameter — wall thickness, floor height, window size — and the entire model updates automatically. No manual fixing. No coordination errors.

Walls, windows, doors, stairs, columns, slabs, and roofs — all as intelligent parametric building objects.

Composing and cavity wall tools — define layered wall compositions with materials and thermal properties.

Wall material and composite styles — assign and manage material assemblies across the full model.

Automatic global updates — any design change propagates instantly through all views, sections, and schedules.

AEC drawing library — a comprehensive library of architecture and interior design elements ready to insert.

Architecture & Interior

From Building Shell to Interior Detail — in One Platform.

Rendering

Photorealistic Results — Directly from Your BIM Model.

Open BIM

50+ Formats. One Platform. No Data Lost in Translation.
