SpecifiCAD Updated for SketchUp 7, Revit Architecture 2009

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Dec 2, 2008 - CADalytic Media, Inc. today has updated SpecifiCAD for Google SketchUp 7 and Autodesk Revit Architecture 2009. SpecifiCAD delivers relevant building product data to the designer's Desktop within the BIM environment using CADalytic Media's patent-pending technology. In its collaboration with McGraw-Hill Construction, CADalytic Media through SpecifiCAD delivers the functionality of the Sweets Network to provide manufacturer content directly on the BIM desktop. Designers can quickly access CAD details, SketchUp 3D models, catalogs, three-part specifications, and Green information. SpecifiCAD also delivers relevant Google 3D Warehouse content including the McGraw-Hill Construction Sweets3D Collection content to the Desktop.

When used with the Google 3D Warehouse, SpecifiCAD for Google SketchUp 7 integrates with SketchUp 7's new Dynamic Component technology. When designers replace existing components in their designs with Scalable Dynamic Components, the new components are scaled automatically and parametrically to the old component dimension. SpecifiCAD for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2009 delivers relevant Google 3D Warehouse content to the Desktop that can then be drag-and-dropped into your design.

Both SpecifiCAD for Google SketchUp 7 and for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2009 display McGraw-Hill Construction's new Sweets Network interface with the same linking enhancement available in previous versions of SpecifiCAD. Designers can link the desired Sweets Network manufacturer's product web page to the selected objects by clicking the Link button in the SpecifiCAD Sweets Network window.

SpecifiCAD delivers relevant product data for the component selected in ArchiCAD. At any time, the designer can simply click on a hyperlink or icon in the SpecifiCAD Sweets Network window to get more detailed building product information. Designers can then incorporate BIM and specification data back into their design documents.

SpecifiCAD for other Platforms

Remember that SpecifiCAD is available for all major architectural software solutions. These versions all leverage the SpecifiCAD Sweets Network and Google 3D Warehouse user interface.
