When it comes to BIM models, lightweight data matters, says user

    In the next installment of our customer Q&A’s, we recently spoke to a longtime user of MagiCAD (and more recently, MagiCloud)  about the importance of accessing high-quality BIM objects in the design phase of construction projects. We uncovered interesting thoughts about how the data footprint of a BIM object matters. Our user also […]

Designing for the Future: Integrating all Building Processes

Collaboration and work have almost always been synonymous. People need other people to realise their greatest impact. The last 20 years have brought a convergence of communications and computing technologies that has expanded the possibilities for technology-enabled collaboration, whether synchronous or asynchronous, proximal or distant[1]. With all of today’s technical tools being connected via the […]

5 reasons to choose MagiCAD for BIM

1. SAVE TIME ON YOUR DESIGNS By automating many of your time-consuming, routine tasks, your BIM MEP designs can be made quickly and efficiently. In MagiCAD, automated tasks include the creation and editing of standard connections, cross-over ducts and pipes, as well as various more demanding connections and adjustments, such as angle-to-horizontal, pipe-to-radiator and pipe-to-mixer […]

Why do high-quality 3D models matter?

Having access to high-quality 3D models is a critical part of a modern-day construction and building process. In the case of large, commercial buildings, the detailed plans for the MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) elements of the building are so complex, they need to be mapped out digitally well before the construction begins. Only when […]

Why light BIM objects are crucial for the success of MEP design?

When designing for BIM, the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) engineers have to work with a vast amount of objects. The models can therefore easily become very large and engineers will make an effort to keep the models as small as possible. The solution for this challenge is to use parametric objects which are very […]
