Description

Revit provides specialized software for electrical design, while AutoCAD offers dedicated tools for both electrical and HVAC planning. Maximize the potential of your Revit model for electrical layouts by easily creating one-line riser diagrams, sizing feeders, accurately calculating voltage drops, conducting short-circuit analyses, and much more. Within the well-known AutoCAD platform, you can access a comprehensive electrical design tool that seamlessly combines calculations with drafting tasks. From generating panel schedules to creating one-line diagrams and assessing fault as well as voltage drop, the software covers all essential aspects. Additionally, in the AutoCAD environment, the HVAC design program allows you to efficiently layout, size, and draft your ductwork, ensuring a streamlined workflow for all your design needs. This integration of features not only enhances productivity but also simplifies the overall design process.

Description

HydraCAD is a comprehensive 3D software solution specifically designed as an overlay for AutoCAD, tailored for the intricate design of fire sprinkler systems and recognized as the most complete CAD package on the market. Unique to HydraCAD is its ability to produce Revit MEP content, with the software automatically generating content from its model to deliver precise information in the exact format needed throughout the entire workflow, extending beyond mere 3D coordination. This functionality includes providing metadata linked to true native BIM objects, rather than just offering Revit or Navisworks versions of Autodesk components. Users can effortlessly calculate the volume of dry pipe systems with a single selection, generate stocklists for plastic systems with one click, and obtain a raw material list. The design process allows for flexibility, enabling users to draw in various orientations, arrange pipes in any sequence, and utilize any AutoCAD command. Additionally, architect backgrounds can be employed without alteration, thanks to a toolkit designed to eliminate extraneous details from architectural drawings. Furthermore, HydraCAD supports drawing at any scale or on any sheet size, accommodating drawings of varying dimensions with ease and precision. This capability ensures that users can create detailed designs that meet their specific project requirements efficiently.
