Johnson Controls, a global pioneer for smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings and architect of OpenBlue connected solutions, announces the immediate release of the new SprinkCAD for Revit® Fabrication Tool.
In addition to providing 3D layout and calculation capabilities, the newly expanded suite of tools enables users to deliver a fabrication-ready design and stock list.
Easy mapping of Revit®
With this new fabrication tool, fire protection professionals can take a valid, comprehensive design in Revit® directly into the SprinkCAD strategy-based fabrication environment.
Designers can map valves, sprinklers, pipes, and pumps to known components within their parts database and get a full material list and fabrication report that can be saved, printed, or exported to industry-standard file formats.
Speed and accuracy
Designers can use SprinkCAD for Revit® to produce a fully designed and calculated system in less time
“BIM projects just got easier to quote, design, stock list, and fabricate,” said Zach Magnone, associate director, Engineering & Innovation, Johnson Controls.
“The new SprinkCAD fabrication tool was designed for speed and accuracy. With this full suite of tools, designers can now use SprinkCAD for Revit® to produce a fully-designed and calculated system in less time and with greater efficiency.”
SprinkCAD features
The new SprinkCAD for Revit® Fabrication Tool lets users:
- Deliver fabrication-ready design and stock list
- Generate required Revit® families and insert them into the design model automatically
- Eliminate the need for transition of design into the complex fabrication parts environment
- Map any Revit® sprinkler system design to desired pipes, sprinklers, valves, and other items for material summary and fabrication reports
- Produce a material summary for the piping system directly from SprinkCAD for Revit®
- Create fabrication reports and manage stock-listing by running SprinkSLIC from SprinkCAD
