MagiCAD Room for AutoCAD

MagiCAD Rooms models rooms and zones during early design, calculates heat losses, and generates schedules. It integrates spatial information into building services systems and exports completed models in IFC format.

Model a building from 2D drawings

Quickly create a 3D building model using an architectural 2D drawing as an underlay. MagiCAD tools model walls, place windows and doors, specify room heights, and assign technical requirements. All floors are brought into one project to form a complete building 3D model.

Integration with MagiCAD building services

Once linked to ventilation, piping, or electrical models, each device receives information about the room where it is located. This enables room-based reports and schedules and allows spatial data to become part of equipment identification codes.

Working with zones

Rooms can be grouped into functional zones with their own technical parameters. This is especially useful for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning design for separate building areas.

Automatic heat-loss calculations

Based on room geometry and wall and window characteristics, including heat transfer coefficients, MagiCAD calculates area, volume, and required heating capacity for each room or the entire building. These values can guide heating equipment selection and design optimization.

IFC export

Models can be exported to IFC (versions 2X3 v.2 and IFC 4) with complete spatial information, making MagiCAD Rooms useful for integrated BIM workflows and collaboration.

Data transfer to schedules and reports

All room data is sent to MagiCAD building services modules and used for schedules, reports, and calculations, keeping information accurate, consistent, and current throughout design.
