021015_Progman_2014.11-GRAFIIKKA_smallMagiCAD 2014.11 for Revit introduces a new calculation engine for piping and ventilation calculations, smart electrical connections with cable packets enabling e.g. cable length, cable weight and cable surface area calculations, and a new Find and Replace function which allows products to be replaced with automatically inherited properties and parameters. Some of the other highlights of the new MagiCAD for Revit include creating and updating switchboard schematics based on the electrical model, support also for other fluids than water with heating and cooling calculations, creating custom symbol libraries based on existing Revit families, defining custom formats for automatic object ID generation, sound calculations based on selected Revit spaces, producing report printouts and PDFs directly from the report view, and support for new product modelling options, including the creation of custom manifolds and fan coils.

MagiCAD 2014.11 for AutoCAD also brings many clever new features, including a new calculation engine for piping and ventilation calculations, comprehensive main riser diagram functions for electrical design with short-circuit calculations, as well as support for sprinkler calculations according to the BS 9251:2014 standard. Other new MagiCAD for AutoCAD features include rotation of entire system branches in piping, ventilation and sprinkler systems, support for pump products with thorough technical data, copying entire sprinkler branches with automatically re-established connections, dimension texts now also with section views, rounding, formulas and switching units of measurement, improved support for device groups in system design, and support for new product modelling options, including the creation of custom manifolds, fan coils and pumps.
