A new tool for live or on-demand clash detection in your entire Revit project

The new MagiCAD Clash Detection tool makes coordination between the different design disciplines easier, faster and more reliable. You can select one of two approaches for detecting clashes: real-time detection while you carry out modelling or on-demand detection. MagiCAD Clash Detection detects two types of clashes: hard clashes where the elements physically collide and soft clashes where the clash occurs between the clearance zones defined for the objects. The colours signifying hard clashes and soft clashes can be defined by the user.

The Clash Detection tool creates a clash report in the BCF Manager. In the BCF Manager, you can carry out coordination using MagiCAD’s editing features, create and add images to illustrate problem spots, as well as add comments to the topics included in the clash report. The clash reports can be exported and imported, enabling easy sharing of the report and the attached images and comments with project partners.

A Builders Work tool that enables BIM workflow with other parties. It ensures the needed communication with architects and structural engineers for provisions for ducts, pipes, cable trays or any other containment that passes through a wall, roof, slab or similar. The automatic Builders work openings tool creates provisions based on the project settings.

If there is a need for communication around the provisions, architects and structural engineers can run the free of charge tool, Builders work openings tool, to approve or deny the provisions. Builders work openings tool collects all information in a small xml file that can be sent back and forth between the stakeholders. When everything has been checked, the tool cuts the holes. In addition, the Builders work openings tool automatically alerts the user whenever a hole or provision is changed in size or position, or if one of them is deleted.

Used for cutting ducts, pipes or trays into standard lengths. With this tool it is easy and fast to cut ducts, pipes or trays into commercially available standard lengths once the containment has been modelled. In addition, coupling, flanges or similar can automatically be inserted between each length.

Numbers components and equipment with unique configurable numbering formats. The purpose of the running indexes (RI) is to set a unique number ID to the parts that are placed in e.g. a system of data sockets. The running index tool can create, remove, renumber, re-move gaps and duplicates all according to the needs and your definition. The Running Index numbers can later on be tagged or used in Object ID strings that can be configured with MagiCAD’s Parameter Configuration & Parameter Merge tools.

Merges parameters automatically. By using the Parameter Configuration tool it is possible combine two or more parameters into one new target parameter. When the configuration is made, the parameter merge takes care of the actual merging fully automatically.

Makes it easy to import and export information. It is used for handling information and parameters that might be easier to manage outside the actual Revit model, possibly also by someone in another team. The Spread Sheet Link is a very powerful tool when it comes to delivery and information handling.

With Spread Sheet Link it is possible to export and import parameters for selected objects of a certain type e.g. instance or type specific parameters for a selected range of work.

Enables replacing any product type with another similar one. The Find and Replace Tool replaces any product without any disconnects or position changes. The replaced product also inherits all the given parameters from the originally installed product. With the integrated zoom box it is easy to check the replacements done. The tool works for both Ventilation, Piping and Electrical products.

Enables collaboration in a BIM project. Consider that you are responsible for design coordination in a large and complex project. Once the issues are document and actions decided, the problematic part is finding all the issues afterwards in your project file. By exporting and importing BCF (Building Collaboration Format) files in addition to the traditional meeting minutes, the BCF tool automatically zooms and finds the problematic situation in your BIM model. All meeting notes and agreed action are of course conveniently available to read at the same time.

Exports files according to IFC 2x3 v.2 or IFC 4. Files can be exported one by one or by using the IFC batch export configuration tool.

IFC Export & Property Set Manager is a reliable, easy configurable and highly automated tool for exporting IFC files with properly configured information sets. This is invaluable at a time when the delivery of information rich IFC models have become a standard demand for BIM projects in many market areas.

Creates and updates legends according to your configuration.

The configuration can be made for which parameters to include in the legend, 2D symbols or 3D models, headers, as well as, range selection, all used products or all products in a project and more.

Enables removal of all manufacture specific information from the project. It is an optimal tool to use when it is time to deliver your Revit models to another stake holder in the project. At the same time that it removes all manufacture specific information, the Clean-up & Deliver tool can purge and audit your file. In addition, it tidies away unwanted sheets, views, links, schedules and legends. Further, it enables you to get rid of revisions and make the file more compact.
