Designed as an overlay program for AutoCAD®, HydraCAD is a fully integrated 3D software package specialized toward the design of fire sprinkler systems and is the most complete and integrated CAD package available. Only HydraCAD produces True Revit MEP content. Content is generated automatically from the HydraCAD model providing exactly the information specified in exactly the format required for use throughout the entire process, not just 3D coordination. This includes meta data attached to true native BIM objects, not just Revit or Navisworks representations of Autodesk objects. BIM, Revit MEP Suite and Navisworks compatible. Produce 3D Hangers, Earthquake braces, Piping, Couplings, Fittings and Zones of Influence. Automatic cut lengths on pipe and hangers.
Generate a true 3D drawing from 2D drawing - no need to draw everything in 3D. Hanger, riser nipple and drop lengths automatically figured. Head elevation automatically generated for calculations. Complete documentation - on-line Windows help file and up to date manuals and tutorials. Draw risers and pump details in 3-D.
Kits and Assemblies are easy to build and stocklist. Calculate volume of dry pipe systems with one pick.
Stocklist plastic systems with one pick and get raw material list. Draw the way you want to: draw at any angle, draw pipe in any order – use any AutoCAD command. Use architect backgrounds without any modification, toolkit available to clean up extra information on architect drawings.
Draw at any scale or on any sheet size on any size drawing. Automatic cleanup of pipe sizes and hangers - cleaned up sizes stay where you put them. Automatic sizing and noding of entire drawing - or use your own. Two-way automatic calculation process - changed sizes return to drawing. Ability to calculate and stocklist not-to-scale piping and disconnected piping. Automatic drawing checkups to verify piping connections. Convert drawing, stocklist and/or calculations between Imperial and Metric unit systems.

HydraBID is a spreadsheet built specifically for pricing inventoried materials using the speed and simplicity of Microsoft Excel® - part of the Microsoft Office Suite. We know that many companies have created their own estimating spreadsheets using MS Excel. With that in mind, we have customized a tool many of you already know how to use and added in the pricing features you were missing.
Compatible with Windows XP Professional, Vista Professional and Windows 7 Professional. Requires Excel 2000 or Excel XP. Windows 8 not supported. If you can use Excel, you can use HydraBID! If you can customize Excel, you can customize HydraBID!. Provides the simplest possible input procedure. Virtually the only input required is the quantity of each item to be priced.
Customizable 'Quick Pick' sheets provide the fastest and easiest way to pick material from a pricing grid. Integrates material and labor.
Build and edit assemblies and kits of your most common items. Can be connected to the Hydratec Stocklisting System through a simple utility. This utility generates price updates for HydraBID for virtually any customer pricing scheme. Provides full access to the entire inventory of items in the Hydratec Stocklisting System without requiring Stocklisting on the user's computer. Produces a simple subtotaled and total report of those items counted along with a simple to read cover sheet. Includes HydraCALC Sizer for fast, graphic based grid, tree or loop generation.
Automatically generated raw materials list consolidates all extended take offs for a complete listing of materials used in the estimate. Hydratec™ is proud of our training philosophy.

HydraCALC-Sizer is also for those designers that may be calculating a job outside of HydraCAD. The Sizer will set up an entire hydraulic calculation job quickly and easily. Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. An easy to use graphical interface. Estimate a Grid, a Tree or a Loop.
Choose a Wet system, Dry system or an ESFR system. Comes with a complete set of fittings and a utility to define your own. Choose your remote area configuration based on U.S.

3D Fire Design specializes in fire sprinkler design, fire system designs, suppression and related systems. We are proud to offer both non 3-Dimensional design as well as 3-Dimensional design (modeling) and coordination. Our nationwide and international clients range from medical centers, warehouse facilities, condominiums, high rise office buildings, community centers, among many other large-scale organizations and business. VIew some sample projects to get a feel for our workflow and quality in design services. All Sprinkler Plans Include:.
Calculations. Seismic Calcs, Details, and Print-outs (as needed). Dimensions, elevations, sections, details, main tags, & line tags. Color Codes.
Installation notes to provide fitters with everything they need for a complete installation. Fire Sprinkler Plans are created using MEPCAD’s Software.
Fire protection plans are drawn automatically in a 3D object based environment using realistic pipe, fittings and devices for more accurate designs, fabrication and installations. I actually prefer Revit Files. As well, MEPCAD now offers a Revit Add-in that will export a Revit 3D view.rvt file to a.mrv file, which is an AutoSPRINK intelligent file allowing the fire sprinkler system to be designed in a true 3D version of the building and structure instead of the limited 2D flat version.
