Explore your building models

Explore the A–D house geometry and a recorded calculation walkthrough. The demo includes provisional material, environmental and cost estimates.

What is Cadevil?

Cadevil is an open-source building assessment platform for architects and engineers. Developed from a master's thesis project, it helps you understand and compare buildings using their IFC models.

The Mycelium plugin framework

Mycelium connects the tools in Cadevil. Each plugin contributes its own workflow, pages and capabilities, so you can build a workspace around the work you need to do.

Your account keeps your chosen tools together. User settings let you manage your profile, preferences and signing keys; administrators also manage users and groups.

Choose and trust your tools

The shared plugin catalog connects available tools to your personal workflow.

A shared catalog

Administrators review plugin packages and control which tools are available on the site. Each plugin's inventory helps you see what its package contains.

Your own workflow

Enable the approved tools you need. Your navigation shows your selected workflows, and related pages stay together as tabs within each tool.

Signed plugin packages

Create a signing key in User settings, sign your package locally with the provided CLI and submit the signed archive for review. Browser plugins run their work in a restricted background worker.

The BIM Workspace

Bring building models, material data and assessment reports together in one workflow.

Models and 3D inspection

Upload IFC or CityJSON files, explore their geometry and inspect element properties and materials. Select a grouped validation warning to find its affected IFC elements in the viewer.

Materials, impacts and recovery

Assess material quantities and environmental impacts, create material passports and compare saved reports. Review costs in EUR and how recovery grades change the estimates. Missing properties and validation warnings remain visible alongside the results.

Maps and local context

Locate buildings on the map and look up energy and utility pricing or planning information, starting with Austria and Vienna. Provider dates and coverage help you judge whether the information applies to your building.

Reference data and reports

Choose the material and assessment references your project uses, review calculation progress and export results. Saved models and reports stay within the permissions of your workspace.

The IFC Editor

Inspect and change properties in a local IFC file, then download the edited model as a new file. Upload the result to the BIM Workspace when you want to generate updated geometry or assessments.

The editor performs its file work in a dedicated browser worker, keeping the interface available while the model is processed.

A browser plugin example

The bundled Snake game shows how a plugin can add an independent tool to your workflow. Its Rust module runs through a browser worker, illustrating the same isolated execution used by packaged browser plugins.
