Mech-Q HVAC Ducting Software - Parametric 2D/3D Design 

The Mech-Q HVAC Ducting module eliminates repetitive drafting tasks by embedding intelligent, parametric automation directly into your existing CAD software. Engineered specifically for HVAC engineers, mechanical designers, and detailing professionals.

Parametric 2D/3D Design 

 

Multi-Profile Geometric Routing: Rapidly generate rectangular, round, and flat oval duct networks using native CAD geometry.

Comprehensive Parametric Fittings: Instantly calculate and deploy dimensionally accurate duct components, including elbows (bends), transitions, tees, wyes, offsets, and branch take-offs based on your exact specifications.

Inline Components & Air Distribution: Access an extensive, built-in library of flow-control devices and terminal assets—including dampers, flexible ducting, grilles, registers, and diffusers (GRDs)—or integrate your own custom-defined symbols.

Advanced Detailing & Fabrication Workflows

From Concept to the Shop Floor Mech-Q doesn't just draw lines—it understands the data behind the geometry. It bridges the gap between drafting and the fabrication shop with specialized automation utilities.

Dynamic Annotation & Labeling: Reduce drafting bottlenecks with automated duct sizing, specification callouts, and flow-direction annotations that update dynamically.

Automated Bill of Materials (BOM): Instantly extract comprehensive material take-offs directly from your drawing layout, ensuring absolute procurement accuracy and reducing material waste.

Multi-Platform CAD Interoperability

Mech-Q runs as a native extension within your preferred drafting software, utilizing your host engine's native command structure to guarantee zero file-conversion lag and absolute data integrity.
