## Product

RayCAD works inside Autodesk Revit. It automates repetitive HVAC drafting and annotation work after a model is ready to become construction drawings.

RayCAD places duct size tags, elevation markers, diffuser labels, equipment marks, and other HVAC annotations while following a firm's drafting standard.

RayCAD does not replace Revit. It automates a specific drafting workflow inside Revit.

## Users

RayCAD is built for HVAC BIM teams, MEP detailing teams, HVAC drafting teams, BIM coordinators, Revit drafters, and construction drawing production teams that use Autodesk Revit.

## Problem

In many HVAC BIM teams, tags and annotations are still manually placed across sheets. Drafters decide what needs to be labeled, place tags, clean up crowded views, and repeat the work when coordination changes move the model.

Manual HVAC annotation creates missing tags, unclear labels, ambiguous elevations, wrong placements, RFIs, delays, and rework when drawings are checked or issued.

## Current focus

RayCAD is starting with automatic HVAC tagging and annotation. Tagging is the first focused step toward automating the HVAC drafting pipeline from model data to production-ready drawings.

## Team and partners

RayCAD is built by two brothers with software backgrounds: Mohit Panchal and Poojan Panchal.

Mohit Panchal is a senior undergraduate at IIT Gandhinagar studying computer science. Poojan Panchal worked as an SDE 2 at Amazon for four years before leaving to build RayCAD.

The team works closely with Orbit Engineering Services, an Australian HVAC detailing firm that provides real Revit workflows, drawing standards, project files, and production feedback.
