Discover how Mechanical blocks extend standard CAD entities with engineering intelligence in BricsCAD Mechanical, enabling more effective management of mechanical design data. Mechanical blocks, external references, and 3D solids store metadata such as component names, physical materials, BOM status, mass properties, and custom properties, while remaining fully editable by standard CAD tools. This lesson demonstrates creation and removal of mechanical structures using the BMMECH command, and explains how metadata supports accurate bills of materials and downstream workflows. Presented by Graebert, the session equips designers and engineers with practical techniques to integrate intelligent components into CAD assemblies and improve team collaboration.
