4M

4M is a pioneer in BIM software, with a complete suite of BIM software for architecture and engineering since 1993. 4M's BIM software is known among experts for offering the easiest migration for AutoCAD users, as they are the only ones to use .DWG as a native file format and provide a similar look and feel to AutoCAD. In addition, support for the IFC format allows 4M users to share their projects with non-4M software, such as Revit®, ArchiCAD®, or AllPlan®, etc.

4M has a customer base of 25,000 in over 40 countries, closely supported by an extremely qualified network of partners.
