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

Revit and dataset templates—localised for each market area, company, or project—make it fast and easy to standardise and commence any Revit project.  You can also use the vast library of content to simply create your company standards and 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 assign the suitable installation code, all in one command. You can also coordinate new containment with other MEP or building elements in order to automatically select installation heights and offsets.

Specifically developed tools for dramatic productivity improvement. Functions like the 3D section box, angle to horizontal and the multi crossing tool really simplifies and facilitates your containment work modelling.

For selecting the correct product quickly and accurately. With access to all the needed geometrical and technical information it cannot be any easier to select the correct product depending on the design criteria. Products include switchboards, sockets, switches, luminaries as well as audio & video, security, fire alarm, controllers, probes, and more. Everything is delivered with suitable localised 2D symbol library.

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

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 already modelled wire by using the MagiCAD Reference Button selection. Furthermore, it handles connections of wires to cable packets, with automatic extension to the connected panel board. By utilizing the cable packet extension feature it is possible to get the real supply cable length, knowing the exact amount of wires and types at any point of the cable packet, as well as, get the cable packet weight and area in square meters.

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 made in 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. At the same time, a 2D symbol can be added to luminaire from one of the localised symbol libraries inside MagiCAD.

Enables designers working with 3D models to support traditional demand for 2D symbols. A challenge for the electrical designer with a BIM work flow is the placing of 3D model in a correct position while, at the same time, supporting the traditional demand for 2D symbols placed logically to achieve a readable electrical drawing. By using MagiCAD Symbol Organiser Tool, the electrical designers are able to place the actual 3D models in the correct position and after that batch move all component symbols in one go in order to get a readable electrical drawing.

It makes it possible to generate switchboard schematics based on circuit connections in e selected panel board in Revit. Localised temples controlling the layout of the schematic can be modified to suit the company or the specific project demands. When the schematics is generated, its properties can be modified or changed by the user. Circuit numbering or renumbering can be handled with effective tools, wire type, rating circuit symbol and other electrical properties. Once modified, the panel board and the electrical Revit model can be updated with all the changes made in the schematics.

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, the Manage Link Tool can synchronise the circuits in the schematic with the one in the Revit model. This also works for data panels or fire panels and similar.
