CAMEL+Cnect 3D Builder - Coming Soon - ACADS-BSG

June 1, 2026by ACADS-BSG

The major CAMEL+Cnect update we hinted at last month is almost here. Early next month we’re planning to release the CAMEL+Cnect 3D Builder – a new web-based way to build your project geometry visually and send it straight into CAMEL+

Until now, getting geometry into CAMEL+ has meant either extracting it from a Revit model with CAMEL+Cnect, or measuring and entering each surface in manually. The 3D Builder adds a third option for the many projects that start life as a PDF or a sketch. Drop in a floor plan, trace your rooms, and watch the model take shape in 3D as you go.

 

  • Import a PDF floor plan and calibrate the scale, then trace rooms straight over the top
  • Fast window and shading entry – drop windows onto any external wall, and apply shading schemes such as overhangs, fins and reveals. Model nearby buildings and have the adjacent shading automatically applied.
  • Automatic adjacency detection works out which walls are internal/external and which are next to unconditioned spaces for automatic partition entry
  • Live 3D preview of your building as you draw
  • One-click export into CAMEL+ – ready to continue on with your load calculation

To celebrate the launch, the 3D Builder will be free for everyone to try until 30 June, so you can put it to work on a real project and see how it fits your workflow.

We’re also running a live product showcase to walk through it in action and answer your questions.

The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial.

It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team.

The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design.

Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations.

[HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry.
