Feature Spotlight

Plan Name Scan

Plan Name Scan

The name scan feature in all programs, allows for plan titles and descriptions to be scanned directly off the plan, making naming your plans faster and easier. Because all plan fonts are different it isn’t always completely accurate, but you can easily edit the names as needed all at once.

AutoConnect Duct

AutoConnect Duct

AutoConnect in FastDUCT connects fitting to fitting, intuitively detecting the fittings available and the size and length of duct between fittings. Duct is automatically added on the takeoff screen and list. This new feature is easy to turn on and off and makes takeoff even quicker!
