This sub is aimed at those with an understanding of hacking - please visit /r/HowToHack for posting beginner links and tutorials any beginner questions should be directed there as they will result in a ban here. What we are about: quality and constructive discussion about the culture, profession and love of hacking. One of the main reasons we where looking int Trimble is because it is certified by CIBCE (engineering council in the UK) and it looks like it could save us time during the initial design stages of a project.A subreddit dedicated to hacking and hacking culture. The trimble software looks to do Vent, Pipework, drainage and electrical cals.ĭo you have any experience doing design inside of revit / using an additional addin? So far the Trimble system seems to do all this but I was hoping to get a few people's opinions or recommended alternatives.Īnother example, you place a bunch of sinks, toilets and showers in an apartment block and it sizes the domestics pipes back to the pump and spits out the requirement of the pump etc. They offer a training course where you follow videos that will take you a week or two to work through if you have reasonable Revit fluency.įor example, you set out a bunch of grilles connected back to a fan, you tell the software your requirements ie velocities of the air to the grills / branches and main runs then the software sizes the ductwork to the grilles branches and main runs while giving you a Pa requirement for the fan. The 3D duct modelling tool in Magicad is good and the sizing and drawing tools generally for mechanical services are not bad at all. The electrical containment side of Magicad was not great whereas that is a lot better in Stabicad. I'm electrical but I've spent some time reviewing the mechanical side of Magicad and watching the results a mechanical designer gets, he rated it quite highly. It's not all bad but it is massively frustrating to use and always seems to be broken in one way or another. Imagine if the worst bits of Revit and the worst bits of ProDesign had a baby.

Stabicad is very clunky and the pace of change for new features, or fixing content that is broken, is glacial at best. Stabicad is the only one of the two that has a full electrical calculation engine at the moment but I hear Magicad are partnering with a 3rd party to bring in a solution within the next year or so. Magicad is substantially better for mechanical systems.
