STANDARD-COMPLIANT CALCULATIONS AND
DIMENSIONINGS
We have optimized the building analysis with liNear Building for
Revit models. For the first time it is possible to dimension panel
cooling/heating systems and to place them into the model or to
analyze and optimize existing systems – for any room geometry.
Whether heat load or cooling load calculation: liNear Building
quickly delivers reliable results.
FEATURES
•Automatic transfer of all building sections, storeys, rooms and
room components including room temperatures and adjacent
temperatures directly from the Revit model
• Quick and easy U-value calculation
• Heat load calculation based on the 3D Model
• Dynamic cooling load calculation according to VDI 2078 and
ASHRAE
• Dimensioning of radiators/convectors
• Dimensioning of heating/cooling panel systems
• Transfer and automatic creation of the dimensioned
components in Revit including labels
• Extensive catalog of manufacturer libraries

EFFICIENT DESIGN
The liNear Desktop makes Revit a real MEP tool. Not only
the comfortable provision of our tools, but also the sorting,
bundling and simplification of the Revit functions is our approach.
Commands from Revit are tailored to MEP design, extended and
clearly integrated into the liNear Control Board. The handling is
intuitive and always workflow-oriented. Logical view control and
creation, well-arranged libraries, one-click visibility control, discipline-specific tool sets, and tools for collaboration in Closed and
Open BIM projects are only a few of the benefits the new liNear
Desktop offers.
FEATURES
• liNear Control Board including all relevant functions in quick access
• Automatic view control and creation
• Visibility control of storeys and component groups
• Drawing and construction tools for all trades
• Assistant for section views and selection boxes
• Parallel pipes function for routing
• Automatic connection of pipes (auto-routing)
• Pipe offset function for resolving collisions
• Library management including manufacturer libraries
• Configurators for radiators, manifolds, dwelling stations
and air handling units
• Slot and opening planning with tools for collaboration
with architects and structural engineers
• Task management
• Storey tables
• System table and quick selection
• Panel heating/cooling assistant
• Definition of building parts
• Automatic labeling (configurable)

NETWORK CALCULATION DIRECTLY FROM THE
DRAWING
Reliable and standard-compliant hydraulic and acoustic calculations of technical building systems are the basis for professional
building services engineering design. With liNear Analyse you can
calculate heating, cooling, potable water, waste water, gas and
ventilation systems on the basis of the model created in Revit.
Direct integration into Revit eliminates the need for error-prone
interfaces and enables BIM-compliant design.
FEATURES
• Calculation directly in the model incl. redimensioning
