MagiCAD Group MagiCAD 2026 UR-2 for Autodesk Revit – The Most Advanced BIM Solution for MEP Design, Now with Unprecedented Data Control

MagiCAD 2026 Update Release 2 (UR-2) is the latest evolution of MagiCAD Group’s industry-leading BIM software for MEP design, fully integrated into Autodesk Revit . This release marks a significant leap forward, transforming how engineers manage product data while delivering essential usability and workflow enhancements.

The defining feature of UR-2 is the introduction of Type Specific Data Management in the MagiCAD dataset, enabling engineers to assign unique codes, variables, and properties to each individual product size—a level of granularity previously unavailable . Complementing this is the first-ever MagiCAD Dataset API, which allows for seamless data exchange between MagiCAD and external systems, enabling automated data management workflows .

Beyond data, UR-2 streamlines day-to-day design with Excel import/export for datasets, enhanced Sheet Manager with automatic numbering, and significant updates to the Project Wizard and BCF Manager . It also introduces major module-specific enhancements, including valve installation for climate beams and fan coils, advanced cable routing updates, and the ability to resize radiators using Find & Replace 

Primary Users

MagiCAD 2026 UR-2 for Autodesk Revit is designed for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineers, BIM coordinators, contractors, and designers who require precision, efficiency, and data-rich workflows in building services design. It serves professionals who:

  • Design complex ventilation, piping, electrical, and sprinkler systems within the Autodesk Revit environment

  • Access Europe’s largest BIM product database with over 1,000,000 verified objects from 300+ manufacturers 

  • Perform integrated engineering calculations directly within the model, eliminating the need for separate analysis tools 

  • Manage massive product datasets with new automated tools for data handling and quality control

  • Collaborate across disciplines using IFC, BCF, and other open BIM standards

Key Features & Capabilities

Revolutionary Data Management

  • Type Specific Data Management: Assign unique user codes and product variables to each product size, providing unprecedented control over product data .

  • MagiCAD Dataset API: The first external API for MagiCAD for Revit enables automated data management and seamless integration with other software systems .

  • Spreadsheet Import/Export: Export product classes to Excel, edit data with familiar tools, and import back with a clear summary of all changes for enhanced control .

Streamlined Project Workflow

  • Enhanced Project Wizard: Now updates existing elements’ level and space data rather than overriding them, enabling use at any project stage .

  • Load All Product Types: Option to load all available product types into the project during installation, eliminating interruptions during design work .

  • Updated BCF Manager: Modernized window layout for smoother issue management and coordination between project participants .

Drawing and Documentation

  • Sheet Manager Improvements: New automatic sheet numbering and a Find & Replace function for sheet text parameters .

  • Update Parameters Tool: Expanded functionality including updating missing system codes for cable trays and conduits, and updating connection data for wires .

  • Space Information Update: Easily apply space names and numbers to elements; new “At location” option splits segments at wall/level midpoints for accurate space assignment across boundaries .

Module-Specific Enhancements

  • Valve Installation: Install valves for climate beams and fan coils in addition to radiators; zone valves and other products now supported .

  • Radiator Resizing: Resize radiators using Find & Replace based on updated system properties or heating power demands .

  • Electrical Object Properties: New properties including impact rating, bus current, Colour Rendering Index (CRI), and Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) .

  • Batch Install Wall Distance: Define distance to walls to prevent hanger collisions and ensure proper placement relative to fire-rated walls .

What’s New in MagiCAD 2026 UR-2

The Update Release 2 focuses on three core pillars: data management, usability, and module enhancements.

Data Management Revolution

The introduction of Type Specific Data Management and the Dataset API fundamentally changes how engineers interact with product data . For the first time, each product variant can be individually managed, enabling automated workflows and seamless integration with company-wide systems .

Improved Usability

Multiple usability improvements reduce unnecessary clicks: the Revit Finish button can now be confirmed with the Enter key, and the Create Similar function now opens the Dataset tab instead of the Project tab, aligning with common workflows .

Expanded Module Capabilities

The Valve tool now supports climate beams and fan coils, while the Find and Replace tool can resize radiators . Electrical engineers gain new object properties including CRI, CCT, and bus current values . The Update Parameters tool now handles missing system codes for cable trays and conduits, and supports updating connection data for wires based on connected devices
