Paper beats rock, BIM beats paper – Looking back at 20 years of changes in design work

MagiCAD Electrical was released 20 years ago in 2002, which does not really seem like such a long time ago, however, the work of the MEP designer looks very different today than it did at the start of the millennium. We recently talked with MagiCAD Product Manager Johan Sörensson about the changes he has seen in design work during the past two decades.

Production model design for ventilation systems

When you want to make a production model (i.e. a model that enables an exact component listing) of your ventilation design, the model needs to have the same fittings, size selections and connections as the final installation. Assisting designers in this process is the inspiration behind several recent additions to MagiCAD for Revit.
