MagiCAD Electrical

Enables the user to configure and draw wires accurately and according to the local presentation standard. In addition, the tool also lets you to copy settings from an existing wire as a reference. Achieve the exact look you want with user-defined chamfer or curved wire lines with specific chamfer angles and offsets.

Furthermore, it handles connections of wires to cable routes, with automatic extension to the connected panel board. By utilising the cable packet extension feature it is possible to accurately calculate the actual supply cable length and automatically referencing the exact amount of circuit wires and their types at any point of the cable routes, in addition to the cables weights and sizes.

Market specific templates reduce time and resources required to standardise your projects.

With the help of Revit and dataset templates, localised for each market area, company or project it is fast and easy to standardise and commence any Revit project.  Also, use the vast library of content to simply create your company standards so ensure consistent project delivery across the board.

All-in-one tools for fast configuration of routing preferences and realistic coordination solutions for containment modelling.

Reference existing containment, set system codes and name; select containment type and assignee the suitable installation code all in one command.

Also coordinate new containment with other MEP or building elements in order to automatically select installation heights and offsets.

For selecting products quickly and accurately.

With access to defined geometrical and technical information, it makes selecting the correct product simple , based on the design criteria. Electrical products include powerboards, sockets, switches, luminaries as well as audio & video, security, fire alarm, controllers and more. All products can also be created with a selection from a localised 2D symbol library.

Once the product selection is made, the product placement tools is used to install the chosen products fast, easily and accurately. The tool helps to align the product to other products’ offset levels, place as a face base or level based item, array the product according to a specific pattern and set symbol alignment right away. All options are optimised to each product type.

Enables export to Dialux and import back to Revit.

Export is possible for space geometry from Revit to DIALux, including windows and doors, as well as work planes for calculating illuminance, reflection factors and more. After the lighting design is completed within DIALux and the luminaires have been selected, they can be imported back into the correct space and position in the Revit model with all technical information available. During this import, a 2D symbol can be added to luminaire from one of the localised symbol libraries inside MagiCAD.  These luminaires are then ready using to create circuits and connect to power boards straight away.

Automatically arrange your 2D symbols to your specific requirements whilst maintaining the 3D geometry.

A challenge for the electrical designer is the placing of 3D products in the correct position whilst displaying the 2D symbols are placed in a suitably in order to achieve a legible electrical layout drawing. By using MagiCAD Symbol Organiser Tool, the electrical designers are able to place the actual 3D models in the correct position and then automatically move all selected symbols to suit the desired layout.

Generate switchboard schematics based on project circuits for any chosen powerboard within Revit.

Localised board schematic templates are used to automatically synchronise the powerboard and circuit data in order to generate the schematic layouts.

When the schematics are generated, its properties can be modified or changed using our handy circuit management tool giving greater control over the circuit definitions.  Automatic circuit numbering based on user-defined formats can be created along with circuit wire type, circuit breaker rating and symbol amongst other electrical properties. Once modified, the panel board and the electrical Revit model can be quickly updated with all the changes made reflected within the in the schematics so they are always synchronised with the model.

In addition, it is possible to add circuits in the schematics’ view before they are even created in the Revit model.  Later on, when the circuit is created, these can be mapped into the circuits in the Revit model. This also works for data panels or fire panels and similar.
