1 MagiCAD Cloud The World s Largest BIM Content Platform for MEP

2 MagiCAD Cloud is the world s largest MEP content platform, including 270 leading manufacturers and 1,000,000 BIM objects. Achieve dramatic time and cost savings through powerful, design-ready 3D objects. MagiCAD Cloud includes a free browsing library for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) designers with a wide selection of high-quality BIM objects. Designers can browse more than one million manufacturer-verified 3D objects equipped with accurate dimensions and comprehensive technical data of the real products they represent. MagiCAD and Revit software users are able to design accurate MEP models when using these intelligent objects as the building blocks for their design. Accurate BIM models of the MEP systems enable designers to run integrated engineering calculations using MagiCAD. This way, they can test the performance of the MEP systems prior to the start of the construction project. In addition, by bringing the whole BIM content online, collaboration for selecting the right products for a project can happen effectively between teams from across the entire build key to achieving the benefits of BIM for any large-scale building project. KEY FEATURES OF MAGICAD CLOUD 1,000,000 BIM objects for MEP design available in an online library with advanced search function 270 leading manufacturers products available with comprehensive technical data and 3D geometry Free access to more than 20% of the library s objects Access to more than 70% of the library s manufacturerverified objects with MagiCAD Premium subscription Full access to the library s objects with the purchase of MagiCAD software Sharing online object collections for effective collaboration with teams from across the build Easy access to the objects in Revit through the MagiCAD Connect app Free downloads of several manufacturer Plug-ins and Selection tools for use in Revit and MagiCAD.

3 Accurate content matters even more for MEP design The example below demonstrates that MEP usually has many more components than all other components in the building project combined. Hence, having access to data-rich and up-to-date BIM object libraries can speed up dramatically the design process. Intelligent BIM objects and libraries All BIM objects in MagiCAD Cloud are accurately modelled including all the needed technical data and verified by manufacturers before they are published. This ensures that the products will fit into the physical spaces as planned in the model. Without MagiCAD Cloud, a designer would be modelling the objects by themselves. In addition to volumes of extra work, keeping up to date with ever changing product specifications requires close communication with several manufacturers. Because of these factors, designers end up having trouble sourcing correctly-sized components. MagiCAD Cloud helps designers to visualise a real system with real products before the build begins. The systems can be analysed to ensure they are working properly before the fabrication and construction begins. Using Collections to select project-specific BIM objects Create MagiCAD Cloud enables creating object Collections entirely online without the need for any desktop platform. MagiCAD Cloud includes a powerful search function for searching objects online and with Collections, it is easy to place selected BIM objects into a new or existing collection. Search Search is possible inside Collections. This saves designers time by narrowing the scope of the search. This function is available in the browser-based product search and in MagiCAD Connect app where you can insert the BIM objects directly into your Revit project. Share Collections can be shared with other Magi- CAD Cloud users. If you are a BIM manager or a project leader this offers a way to manage and distribute BIM objects with colleagues and stakeholders in the project.
