CAD-Duct has a proven track record on major construction projects and is used by all disciplines from Design & Build through to Facilities Management.

CAD-Duct is pre-configured and ready-to-go; and requires minimal training for proficient AutoCAD Users.

Services drawn with CAD-Duct have added value and can provide Long-Quality-Chains; for example :

• Ductwork drawn with CAD-Duct can be priced,  then procured or automatically manufactured.
• Pipe work and Equipment runs can be configured as accurate Spool Drawings for pre-fabrication.
• All Products can be assigned a unique purchasing code number which can be linked to pricing and labour times.
• CAD-Duct includes a powerful report generator which can provide automatic analysis and costing's.

• AutoCAD based for wide acceptance & efficient integration within the construction industry.
• You do not have to be a Solid Modeler or 3D Guru to use CAD-Duct; it ships pre-configured and requires minimal training.
• Proven Track record on major Construction Projects around the world.
• CAD-Duct adds value, improves productivity and can provide the Long Quality Chains that are increasingly required between Design and Build.
• Includes the most Extensive, Expandable & Customisable Parametric Duct, Piping and Electrical containment Libraries that accurately represent the products available from major suppliers.
• Equipment Libraries are also included for accurately representing AHU’s, Fire Dampers, Flex, Silencers, Valves, Pumps, Vessels, etc.
• Draws all items as Solid ’Intelligent Custom Objects’.
• ’True View’ representation of 3D objects for plotting clarity ensures the true edge lines are shown.

• 3D capabilities for easy co-ordination of services aided by real-time collision detection.
• Object based technology produces significant reductions in drawing size for better portability.
• The Auto-Fill routines aid faster drawing; this includes intersecting and filling to drainage inclines.
• Automatic layer management that can be configured to any standard.
• Automatic generation of hidden detail when plotting.
• CAD-Duct places a great deal of emphasis on Product connectivity. For example, Duct-mate, Flanges, Screw sockets, Solder Cups, Couplings, Weld Gaps, Bolt & Gasket sets are auto assigned and accurately positioned. The user is informed of any connector mismatches.
• All the products available in CAD-Duct can be assigned a unique code that identifies the product for procurement and costing. By using this Code within their own Databases, users can import custom data fields into Products that exist in a drawing; then analyze and report accordingly.
• The Status of Items in a Drawing ( design, approved, on site, installed, tested, etc.) can be updated automatically from Bar codes, Text Files or Group selection.
• ’IntelliText’ annotation automatically updates Item No's, Sizes, Level, Length, Offsets, etc.
• Includes a Powerful Report Generator which Produces ’Bills of Materials’ & other Management Reports directly from within CAD-Duct.
• All Ductwork drawn can be passed to CAM-Duct for automatic manufacturing or EST-Duct for costing.
• Produces semi-automatic Spool Drawings that contain key dimensions and Lists of Materials that can be used by Pre-Fab shops.
• Direct Links to Design/Calculation programs and cable management programs can be added on request.
• Proven interface with NavisWorks for managing large Projects.
