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.

Description

What used to take hours of manual imagery imports, screenshots, and per-pixel alignment now takes minutes. Plex-Earth pulls satellite and aerial imagery straight into AutoCAD, fully georeferenced, so engineers can skip the guesswork and get to designing. Choose from basemap providers like Google Maps, Google Elevations, Azure, and OpenStreetMap, add custom WMS/WMTS connections, or tap into premium providers such as Nearmap, Vexcel, Hexagon, Airbus, and Vantor. Every mosaic tile is individually georeferenced for precision, a feature unique to Plex-Earth. For terrain, you can generate contours in seconds, run slope and aspect analysis, calculate cut and fill, or bring in GeoTIFFs and premium DTM/DSM data. Two-way KML functionality moves data between AutoCAD and Google Earth without file juggling. Compatible with AutoCAD 2020–2027, Civil 3D, Map 3D, and BricsCAD.
