MagiCAD
The #1 BIM solution for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing design.
Overview
MagiCAD is a suite of BIM applications for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) design. It functions as an add-on for Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and BricsCAD, enhancing them with a wide range of smart tools and automated workflows. MagiCAD includes one of the world's largest libraries of manufacturer-verified BIM objects, and it integrates advanced calculations for ventilation, piping, electrical systems, and more, directly into the modeling process.
✨ Key Features
- Modules for Ventilation, Piping, Electrical, and more
- Large library of manufacturer-verified BIM objects
- Integrated engineering calculations (e.g., pressure drop, sound levels)
- Automated drawing and report generation
- Collision detection and coordination tools
- Provision for builders work openings
- Supports local standards and symbols
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Vast library of real manufacturer products with accurate data
- Integrated and localized engineering calculations
- Runs on multiple CAD/BIM platforms (Revit, AutoCAD, BricsCAD)
Unique Value: Enables MEP engineers to design with real products and integrated calculations, improving accuracy, efficiency, and the quality of the final design.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Design of complex MEP systems for hospitals, airports, and commercial buildings
- Projects requiring accurate, integrated calculations and manufacturer-specific data
- Firms looking to standardize and increase the efficiency of their MEP design process
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Architectural or structural modeling (it's an MEP tool)
- Users not working on Revit, AutoCAD, or BricsCAD
- Simple MEP layouts not requiring detailed calculations
🏆 Alternatives
While Revit's native MEP tools are capable, MagiCAD provides a much higher level of detail, automation, and accuracy. Its manufacturer-verified library and localized calculation standards save enormous amounts of time and reduce design risk.
