Overview

What is MEP Designer?

MEP Designer supports architects, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers to:

  • Design and document ventilation, heating/cooling, sanitary, and electrical systems
  • Generate floor plans, sections, and schedules for MEP systems automatically
  • Support interoperability with IFC 4.3 to work with other AEC software
  • Eliminate the steep learning curve of BIM software

Capabilities

Effortless MEP modeling

The toolset and interface tailored for MEP design provides an intuitive modeling experience. Get started quickly, then take advantage of more advanced features to complete your more complex designs.

/

Powerful clash detection and model checking

Prevent costly rework thanks to built-in collision detection, model checks (e.g. zone ventilation quality), and integration with validation platforms such as Solibri. Track and manage issues via BCF workflows for accountable project coordination.

/

Specialized libraries, customizable objects, interoperability

Access the extensive parametric MEP library, create custom MEP parts and 2D/3D symbols with ease, and seamlessly exchange data across platforms. Benefit from API and marketplace support for add-ons, enabling adaptability to local practices and evolving project needs.

/

MEP Designer works on macOS and Windows

The two versions are fully compatible (file formats, Teamwork) so you can even work in mixed environments.

View system requirements

Comprehensive documentation and scheduling

Automatically generate floor plans, sections, legends, schedules, and parts lists for all MEP elements—fully customizable to meet local standards. Labels, dimensions, and symbolic representations update dynamically, ensuring precise documentation and clear, professional project deliverables.

/

Automated calculations and system optimization

Calculate airflow, hydronics (heating/cooling), and velocity with built-in tools—supported by a live system browser and automated sizing optimizers for ducts and pipes. Expand capabilities with advanced add-ons to ensure performance and compliance across all regions.

/

Integrated BIM workflow and collaboration

Two computer monitors display complex 3D architectural and engineering models with interconnected lines, highlighting collaboration and Integrated BIM workflow. The background features purple and blue color blocks.

Collaborate with architects and engineers through native integration with Archicad, efficient hotlink/reference workflows, and cloud-enabled Teamwork. OPEN BIM (IFC) and BCF support ensure compatibility with other AEC solutions and smooth project handoffs.
