Sprinkler shop drawings carry a lot of small tags: head types, pipe sizes, elevations, and hanger locations, across ceilings full of other trades. RayCAD is a Revit plugin that does this kind of tagging for MEPF drawings, to your standard.

RayCAD does not tag fire protection yet. It tags HVAC and piping today. Fire sprinkler tagging is coming soon.

What fire protection tagging will cover

The plan is the same method RayCAD uses for HVAC and piping today:

  • Sprinkler heads and branch lines, tagged where the information changes rather than on every head.
  • Pipe sizes and elevations on mains and branches.
  • Your tag families and your standard, not ours. See firm standards.
  • A list of anything it could not place, so the drafter knows exactly what to check.

See fire sprinkler tagging for more.

What you can do now

  • If you also tag HVAC or piping, RayCAD works on those sheets today. Start the 15-day trial with no credit card from pricing.
  • If fire protection is all you do, email founder@raycad.in and we will tell you when it ships.
  • If you want it built around your drawings, join the design partner scheme.
