Revit tagging for MEP consultants: construction documents tagged to your standard

Consultants issue the drawings everyone else builds from, and the design keeps moving until the day they go out. RayCAD is a Revit plugin that does the tagging on those drawings. It tags a floor plan or section view to your office standard, and your team reviews the sheet.

If your firm works in Revit and tags HVAC or piping, RayCAD fits, whether the sheets are construction documents or shop drawings. Supported today: ducts, flex ducts, fittings, air terminals, and mechanical equipment on the HVAC side, and pipes, pipe fittings, and pipe accessories on the piping side. Electrical and fire protection are on the way.

Where tagging costs a consultant

• Design changes up to issue. Sizes and routes change after every review, and the tags have to follow.
• Fees. Drafting time over the budget comes out of the fee.
• Consistency. Many hands on one set, and the sheets should read as one office's work.
• Questions after issue. A missing size or elevation comes back as an RFI from the contractor.

What RayCAD does about it

• Tags a view in one run, where the information changes, not on every element. See information-based tagging.
• Retags after design changes. Select what changed and run Retag. See faster turnaround.
• Follows your office standard, with your own tag families. See firm standards.
• Lists what it could not place, so the set goes out complete. See fewer RFIs.

For your drafters and engineers

The tagging pass that used to take a day becomes a review. Time goes back to design and coordination.

For your BIM manager

The office standard lives in a RayCAD preset, so every sheet comes out the same way, whoever ran it. RayCAD runs on the user's machine and installs once for Revit 2021 to 2027. See security.

For the principal

Less drafting time per sheet means more of the fee goes to engineering, and the team takes on more projects. See the capacity calculator.
