About

Excalibur View is a drawing viewer, markup and takeoff program for construction, written by a working structural steel estimator. Markups are ordinary PDF annotations, so a set marked up here opens in Bluebeam Revu or Adobe with everything in place. It imports Revu .bpx profiles and .btx tool sets with their tools, custom columns and unit weights. Measure length, area, count, volume and angle at the drawn scale. Tools carry their own unit weights, so a measured beam puts tonnage on the takeoff as it is drawn. The Shop List reads the same markups back as a cut list, with stock length, saw kerf and drops. Free for one person, including paid work, with no account and no expiry. Offices add Excalibur View Office at $250 per seat, paid once, on a machine you own. Updates are an optional $100 per seat per year. There is no cloud. Drawings, markups and takeoff never leave your hardware. Source published under the Elastic License 2.0.

About

Ncored is a fast PDF editor for large AutoCAD, Revit and ArchiCAD drawing sets, on Windows and Mac. It stays smooth on scroll, zoom and markup on heavy construction drawing PDFs from 50-200 MB+ project sets, where general PDF tools freeze. It runs locally, so drawings never leave your machine. English and German. 14 days free, no signup and no email. EUR 12.99/month, EUR 79.99/year, or EUR 159 once for a lifetime licence. Features: standards-compliant markup, in-place text editing, merge, split and reorder pages, full-text search and compression. Measurement: length, polyline and area to scale in metric units, with snapping to the drawing's own lines. Saved as standard PDF measurements that Adobe Acrobat recognises. Revision compare: drag an older revision onto the open drawing to see what was added in blue, removed in red and unchanged in grey. Deliberately narrower than general PDF suites: no OCR, no form creation, no print preflight.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not one who really gripes about privacy and data sovereignty but the ability for a company to self host everything without trusting corporations with their data I believe is going to be next level in these coming years. Its extremely seamless and I love the classic mode it kind of gives it a windows 98 style look lol. overall its freaking cool to use and the fact you can build your own plugins and modify it yourself is awesome. More construction software needs to be like this.

Cons

  • Some tools were a bit Janky which is to be expected with something so new, things like sheet overlay worked but took forever to load and was just slow.
