CADMIND EXTRACT

Easily analyse CAD and BIM data

From technical files to a clear Excel list: Make your project data accessible for further tasks and across different departments.

CAD and BIM files contain valuable information about components and objects. Compiling this data manually takes time. CADMIND EXTRACT by LuArtX IT handles the extraction and transfers objects, along with their properties and attributes, into a structured Excel list.

This standalone Windows programme requires neither a CAD system nor Excel to be installed. Select files, define the analysis criteria and generate a list – this is how technical information becomes easily usable.

Multiple formats. A single list.

CADMIND EXTRACT supports DGN, IFC, DWG and DXF. You can also analyse multiple files in different formats together and merge them into a single list.
Different information is extracted depending on the file format:

DGN: Cells with their CARF attributes
IFC: components with their properties and property sets
DWG and DXF: block references with attributes, layer information and extended object data

If required, you can also include nested objects, such as blocks within blocks or parts of IFC assemblies.

Exactly the information you need

Export all available attributes or limit your list to selected details. In addition to the attributes, object properties such as name, type and element ID are available. You can optionally add coordinates and rotation angles.

This allows you to create targeted reports for your documentation, further processing or collaboration within the project team.

Group identical objects

To provide a concise overview, CADMIND EXTRACT can group objects with matching attribute values into a single row. A quantity column shows how many objects are included.

This makes it easier to create clear lists of objects and quantities – even across multiple files.

Your list. Your template.

With Excel templates and custom templates, you can tailor the output to your requirements. You decide what information appears, what the columns are called and in what order they are arranged.

Headers, company logos and formatting can be applied from a template. Once defined, templates can be reused for further reports.

Easy to use in your day-to-day work

Files can be added conveniently via drag & drop. Recurring settings are saved and are available again the next time you start the programme. The programme interface is available in German, English, French and Spanish.

CADMIND EXTRACT combines technical data with a clear list-based analysis – independent of any CAD system.
