Model complete piping systems directly from point cloud data inside AutoCAD. Click directly on the scan to define pipe runs with automatic diameter and centerline detection.
Designed for fast industrial modeling from scan data.
Create pipes by clicking directly on your point cloud data. Select three points on the outside of a pipe and the software automatically detects the diameter, calculates the centerline, and generates an accurate 3D solid. The pipe is matched against a built-in database of standard pipe sizes (DIN, ANSI) to ensure you work with real-world dimensions. Whether you’re modeling a single run or an entire pipe rack, every pipe is created with the correct diameter and position — directly from the scan.
Connect your pipe runs with a complete set of components: 1.5D bends, multi-segment bends, T-joints, reducers, flanges, and valves. All fittings match the diameter of the connected pipes and snap to the correct position. Place flanges and valves with a few simple clicks to complete your 3D model. Every component maintains XData linking, so your entire piping system stays connected and traceable from start to finish.
Adjust your model without starting over. Use grip editing to move pipe endpoints, press/pull to extend or shorten segments, change diameters, or split and join pipes at any point. Connected fittings follow along, keeping your model consistent. The piping list gives you direct access to edit individual components, while the chain list lets you select and modify an entire chain of connected elements at once.
Every pipe and fitting carries embedded XData with diameter, position, and component type. Generate a piping list with a single command to get a full overview of all components, dimensions, and chain relationships. XData linking ensures full traceability between all components, ready for engineering handover and export.
