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

RayCAD is a plugin for Autodesk Revit that streamlines the process of tagging and annotating HVAC and piping views in MEP shop drawings. Users can map their own tag families to Revit element families and set up rules for tag placement, frequency, and layout. By analyzing model data within Revit, RayCAD automatically positions tags where there are changes in the configured information while preventing overlaps. It is compatible with both native Revit elements and their fabrication counterparts, such as ducts, pipes, fittings, accessories, equipment, and generic models, on both floor plans and sectional views. Additionally, a review panel identifies elements that require manual intervention; users have the ability to retag modified elements, utilize saved presets, and revert recent actions. This software operates on the user’s computer but necessitates an internet connection for license verification. Supporting Revit versions from 2021 to 2027, RayCAD is designed specifically for MEP drafting teams working on construction or fabrication documentation, though it currently does not include support for electrical and fire-protection tagging. With its innovative features, RayCAD enhances productivity and accuracy in the tagging process, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in the field.
