Technical installations created with ALCAD MEP/HVAC
ALCAD has been developing solutions for the MEP/HVAC industry for many years. With the MEP plugins it is possible to model piping, ventilation ducts in 3D and 2D. Floor heating, drain-pipes, openings and much more can also be modelled easily and quickly with the MEP plugins. All created components can be evaluated in material list extracts. The intelligent MEP plugins have been developed based on many years of MEP engineering.
There are video tutorials for each MEP plugin.
Why Use ALCAD Software as CAD Program
No data conversions, imports or exports. In ALCAD you work with drawings directly in DWG format. They are fully compatible with CAD users from various industries around the world.
With the purchase you get a lifetime license for the CAD. You can use the CAD program indefinitely, there are no hidden costs in the price. Future updates are available in the form of one-time upgrades. ALCAD MEP/HVAC is a one year license.
The 3D architecture functions are also included in the price. Easily create walls, stairs, doors, windows and much more in 3D or just for 2D use.
The PDF2DWG tool included in ALCAD converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the DWG/DXF format as editable objects.
All ALCADs plugins are included and can be used. Regardless of whether you are working with ventilation ducts, underfloor heating, sewer pipes, with our plugins, you can solve any challenge.
ALCAD is designed to be as similar to AutoCAD as possible so that the user would not notice the differences between the two programs. The goal is to significantly reduce the time and money that would otherwise be required to retrain when switching to new software.
