primtech 18 SP7 is here!

New tools, smoother workflows, and a huge leap forward in substation design: the latest primtech 3d update is here! This release brings a game-changing feature: GIS planning in primtech 3d. But that's not all. We've also made our primtech tools faster, smarter, and even more collaborative - so you can get more done with less hassle.

 

 

primtech 3d goes GIS (Gas Insulated Substations)!

GIS planning has arrived in primtech 3d - but in true primtech style, it's more than just geometry. With our new built-in GIS template library, you get manufacturer-neutral components that come with built-in phase routing and switching logic. That means your GIS models aren't just visually accurate - they're intelligent and ready to work. And when importing manufacturer-specific geometries, they're now intelligently linked into your planning process, laying the foundation for Digital Twins.

 

Faster, smarter, more efficient

We know that time is everything. That's why our service pack 7 makes primtech 18 faster and easier to use. With:

  • In-Place Edit, you can now edit objects directly in your model environment - no need to jump back and forth. And heres the best part: when adjustments are made, wires and tubes are automatically reconnected
  • Batch Editing for Wires & Tubes, allowing you to load or create templates for the efficent and complete definition and adaption of of your conductor configurations. Streamlining the engineering process and significantly boosting efficiency
  • Faster Model Loading, customize your model view for your specific use cases and open large projects with greater performance.
 

Fully integrated - primtech DT is now seamless

primtech DT is now fully integrated in the primtech 18 SP 7 setup and in the Model Manager for starting DT even without launching AutoCAD. A primtech installation without AutoCAD allows everyone to view and work with the primtech database and Digital Twin. That means smoother workflows and less hassle - so you can focus on designing, not switching between tools.

 

Collaboration made easy

Teamwork just got better. The new BIM Collaboration Assistant (BCA) helps you seamlessly manage BCF Issues across both primtech DT and primtech 3d, making issue tracking and resolution simpler than ever. Say goodbye to scattered feedback. Now, everything is integrated and right where you need it.
