Solidworks for HVAC shop drawings

[blingglobal]

Does anybody know of a parts library for HVAC duct work.

Also is anyone using Solidworks for HVAC routing and then 2d workshop drawings?

I have done what I consider an extensive search on the net but can not find what I am looking for.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I used to do HVAC drawings in AutoCAD. A long time ago . I'm not sure SW would be the best tool for this? I wonder if routing has a duct work option?

SolidWorks is not suitabble for that kind of job.

The best solution for you is:

Autodesk Revit MEP

There is a link for this product:

I used to do HVAC balancing. None of the HVAC designers I know are in 3D yet.

I think HVAC is a bit outside of SW's scope. Yes, it can model sheet metal. However, most HVAC drawings (that I worked with) don't use that kind of detail.

For a while I was on retainer with w/ a civil firm in case they ever needed SW. They never did.
