Earlier this month we released our CAMEL+Cnect 3D Builder, and to celebrate, we’ve made it free for all CAMEL+ users until 30 June 2026. It’s the fastest way yet to get building geometry from your PDF layouts into CAMEL+. Import a PDF floor plan and calibrate the scale, then trace rooms straight over it Fast window and shading...
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...
Currently, HYENA+ users enter pipe networks line by line in the Pipes table, typically using a sketched node diagram as a visual check to ensure all nodes and pipes are captured correctly. We’re streamlining this workflow so you can draw your node diagram directly on an isometric canvas in HYENA+, and it will automatically populate...
One request we’ve heard a few times from CAMEL+Cnect users is to reduce the Revit experience and model preparation needed before starting the workflow. The new CAMEL+Cnect Room Editor lets you adjust HVAC zoning directly inside CAMEL+Cnect, with no pre-editing of your Revit Spaces required. What you can do in seconds: Merge and split...
Currently, CAMEL+Cnect relies on Revit Spaces being set up correctly in the model before starting the CAMEL+Cnect workflow. This can require a level of Revit experience, and becomes a challenge if zoning changes need to be made after the workflow has already begun. To make this process easier, we’re introducing the new Cnect Room Editor....

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. – M. Cummings 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. – Marvin D Catherine and the team at ACADS provide customer service of the highest standards always offering the best solutions for our business with fast response times. I would highly recommend ACADS-BSG. – Amy 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. – Shayne C 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. – Ahkil M
