Manufacturer Product Selection for MEP Design
Tools designed for real MEP workflows
Manufacturer product selection tools are developed by MEP manufacturers to support real design work. They enable designers to configure, technically validate, and use manufacturer-specific products in MagiCAD for Revit, AutoCAD, and BricsCAD.
This remains true even when products are complex, highly configurable, or not available as fixed BIM objects, allowing manufacturer data and configuration logic to be used reliably within the design workflow.
Use manufacturer product selection tools to:
- Select products quickly and easily
- Configure complex products directly for your project
Why manufacturer product selection tools matter for MEP designers
By embedding manufacturer product logic directly into the design environment, manufacturer product selection tools reduce manual data entry, minimise errors, and maintain consistency from product selection through to modelling and system calculations. This supports earlier, more reliable specification decisions – when design choices still influence performance, coordination, and project cost.
Different names, same use cases: smarter product selection
MagiCAD Cloud Plugins and MagiCAD Cloud Selection Tools serve the same design use cases: helping MEP designers configure and select manufacturer-specific products for their projects.
The difference is not what you can do, but how you access the tools.
How can MEP designers start using manufacturer product selection tools?
MagiCAD Cloud Plugins
You can download plugins in two ways: via the MagiCAD Portal or through the MagiCAD Cloud Plugin Manager.
The MagiCAD installation package includes the MagiCAD Cloud Plugin Manager, an extension that allows users to install plugins directly from the MagiCAD user interface. Once installed, all plugins are grouped together in the ribbon menu rather than in separate toolbars, providing a clear and consistent user experience.
MagiCAD Cloud Selection Tools
MagiCAD Cloud Selection Tools can be installed either using MagiCAD Connect or can be accessed directly from the browser.
Once MagiCAD Connect is installed, a MagiCAD Connect tab is added to the MagiCAD or Revit ribbon. When a selection tool is launched via MagiCAD Connect, the configured product can be inserted directly into a MagiCAD or Revit project.
