A while ago we have been using the SysQue application for producing a mechanical fabrication model (ductwork and piping) and spooling drawings.
What is the situation now? Is the Revit Fabrication module the best option at the moment? Are there good alternatives to the Revit Fabrication?
I appreciate any comment. Thanks.

I have been exploring eVolve Electrical and it is amazing! Also, it isn't cheap... about 4,000 USD per user per year.

That is totally reliant on your requirements and expertise. Fabrication parts do not have any flow information. If you need to do calculations, an addon that utilizes families and systems would be a better option.

I've heard the Revit built-in module for Fabrication got significant improvements recently. Did you have a chance to try it? It is free. Comparing the functionality is SysQue still worth the money?

Flow calculations were never really working in Revit in any case. Issues regarding friction loss in fittings, valves, dampers, and other inline, end-of-line equipment or any item with more than 2 connectors. It is only useful for conceptual design.

That's not the topic of this discussion. They are used and it could be a deal breaker when making the choice to use fab parts or not.

We don't need calculations. Just need to understand what fabrication software is on the market.

I find that the best way to "understand" them is to try them. Most have a trial period and tutorials and/or will do live presentations.
