Installing the cadwork app

The cadwork app can be installed on a per-device basis and is available only for Windows.


Download the buildagil cadwork 2025 app
Download the buildagil cadwork 2026 app


When you download the file, you will receive a ZIP file that must first be extracted. We recommend saving the "buildagil" folder contained in the ZIP file to the API.x64 directory of the desired cadwork user profile. Example paths:


<cadwork-Benutzerprofil>\3d\API.x64\buildagil\


C:\Users\Public\Documents\cadwork\userprofil_2025\3d\API.x64\buildagil\


The exact path to the user profile may vary depending on your cadwork installation. You can find it in cadwork under User Settings.


After that, you can launch cadwork. The cadwork app for buildagil can now be opened from the plugin bar.


The cadwork app cannot be used with cadwork demo or viewer licenses.



Troubleshooting

If cadwork crashes as soon as you click on the buildagil plugin, you should first check the installation steps—specifically, the version, the installation location, and whether the ZIP file was extracted correctly. If these are correct, the problem is often caused by a Windows security block. Windows sometimes automatically blocks files downloaded from the Internet, which may also affect the DLL files in the "buildagil" folder. In this case, the files can be manually unblocked, for example by going to:


C:\Users\Public\Documents\cadwork\userprofil_2025\3d\API.x64\buildagil\buildagil cadwork 2025 app Windows\buildagil


Right-click the affected file and select "Properties" to open the "General" tab. There, under "Security," select the "Allow" option and confirm by clicking "Apply." After restarting cadwork, the plugin should then be ready for use.



Alternatively, you can unblock the downloaded ZIP file before extracting it (right-click > "Properties" > "Allow"). This ensures that all files contained within it are automatically treated as safe when extracted.
