About

Designed as an overlay program for AutoCAD, HydraCAD is a fully integrated 3D software package specialized in the design of fire sprinkler systems and is the most complete and integrated CAD package available. Only HydraCAD produces Revit MEP content. Content is generated automatically from the HydraCAD model providing exactly the information specified in exactly the format required for use throughout the entire process, not just 3D coordination. This includes metadata attached to true native BIM objects, not just Revit or Navisworks representations of Autodesk objects. Calculate the volume of dry pipe systems with one pick. Stocklist plastic systems with one pick and get the raw material list. Draw the way you want to, draw at any angle, draw pipe in any order, and use any AutoCAD command. Use architect backgrounds without any modification, a toolkit is available to clean up extra information on architect drawings. Draw at any scale or on any sheet size on any size drawing.

About

RayCAD is an installed Autodesk Revit plugin that automates tag placement and annotation for HVAC and piping views in MEP shop drawings. Teams map Revit element families to their own tag families and configure placement, frequency and layout rules. RayCAD reads model data inside Revit, places tags where configured information changes and avoids overlaps. It supports native Revit elements and fabrication equivalents, including ducts, pipes, fittings, accessories, equipment and generic models, in floor plans and sections. A review panel flags elements needing manual attention; users can retag changed elements, reuse presets and undo a run. RayCAD runs on the user's computer and requires an internet connection for license checks. It supports Revit 2021–2027 and is intended for MEP drafting teams preparing construction or fabrication documentation. Electrical and fire-protection tagging are not yet supported.
