PlumbingCAD is intended for use by professionals that have knowledge and experience with the calculations required for proper plumbing system design. It is not intended for DIY users that may not be adequately trained in these areas.

Key Features

A true CAD-based software, PlumbingCAD lets you quickly import PDF or AutoCAD drawings, trace the plumbing system and then generate PEX-based materials lists and quotations. You also get 3-D views instantly as you define the system in 2-D, making it easier to visualize and communicate your work. The reports and drawing printouts greatly assist with approvals and installations. PlumbingCAD is an essential productivity tool for your PEX plumbing system work.

Import PDF and AutoCAD Drawings

PlumbingCAD lets you import existing plumbing system drawings, and there is no need to redraw the floorplan. You save hours of design time by simply defining the plumbing system over the imported drawing. Import AutoCAD, PDF or JPG drawings for use as the template for your plumbing system definition.

Quickly Trace Plumbing System

Add fixtures, multi-port tees, piping and risers to quickly define the plumbing system. Piping can be shown as rigid or flexible, and sizing is automatically set to match the connected fixtures.

3D Views

Generate 3D views of the plumbing system that you define in 2D. The 3D views are a powerful aid for ensuring accuracy, and can be exported as image files.

Special Analysis Views

Several special analysis views are available to help in your review and analysis of your design work. Use these views to highlight hot piping only, cold piping only, specific pipe sizes or fixture types.

Materials Lists and Quotations

PlumbingCAD will automatically generate a detailed materials list based on your plumbing system design. Customize the included products, quantities and prices, and then generate a detailed Quotation document that can be exported to PDF.
