Leesburg, Va. – REHAU announces the availability of the new REHAU PlumbingCAD 2018 takeoff software for the REHAU PEXa plumbing system. The CAD-based software, offered through Avenir Software Inc., is pre-loaded with REHAU plumbing system components allowing contractors to quickly generate takeoffs and quotes for commercial and residential projects.
REHAU PlumbingCAD lets users import PDF and AutoCAD® drawings, trace the plumbing system and then generate a REHAU PEXa plumbing system materials list and quotation. Key components in the materials list are RAUPEX® UV shield PEXa pipe and EVERLOC+TM polymer and lead-free brass compression-sleeve fittings in diameters up to 2 inch.
Use of the stand-alone software does not require previous CAD experience. The software generates 3-D views instantly while the user works in 2-D, making it easier to visualize and communicate the plumbing piping layout. Output includes reports and drawings that will provide the contractor with shop drawings and a bill of materials.
The new REHAU PlumbingCAD takeoff software can be obtained at www.na.rehau.com/plumbingcad. A 30-day free trial using the fully functional software and tutorial videos are available online.
