Pros

“From initial tutorials and set up through to the production of professional standard drawings and documents the experience has been excellent.”

Mark G.

Heat Pump Technical Manager

“Sometimes it can be difficult to organise lots of pipes close together in neat angles as it likes to snap to the wrong pipe but even then there are lots of ways around that so its not that big a deal.”

Joe Y.

“I've used it to design Mechanical systems on a couple of test Housing projects and the Ventilation system for a Temporary Site office.”

Toinpre A.

Cons

“Some difficulty in modelling complex pipework installations”

Blake M.
