As we approach the end of 2025, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support throughout the year. It has been another fantastic year of progress for ACADS-BSG, driven by your feedback, collaboration, and commitment to improving building services design across Australia and beyond. Highlights of our year include: Releasing CAMEL+Cnect,...
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...
Are you on the fence about whether CAMEL+Cnect is worth the investment? Our new ROI Calculator gives you a quick, evidence-based estimate of the time and cost savings you can expect to achieve. Why we built it Setting up projects manually in CAMEL+ takes time – measuring off drawings, entering room data, consolidating windows and walls....
Thank you to everyone who completed last month’s feedback form. Your insights are directly informing our priorities. We’re continuing the call for feedback this month, and below is a summary of the key themes we’re hearing so far. CAMEL+: Key feedback themes Results review: A rework of the Results section to make analysis faster and...
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....
A new feature has been released across the CAMEL+ and HYENA+ app platform that gives you greater control over who can access sensitive project data. Restricted Folder Access allows account administrators to limit access to specific folders (and the projects within them) to selected users on your company account. This is especially useful for...
This month, we released a major update to CAMEL+Cnect for Revit, which now includes support for Revit 2025. Alongside this, a range of interface enhancements have been implemented to improve overall usability and workflow clarity – many of which were driven by direct user feedback. Looking ahead, we’re currently developing functionality to manage your HVAC...

Now available on the ACADS-BSG YouTube channel, this video series is designed to guide users step-by-step through the fundamentals of CAMEL+Cnect. It includes a walkthrough...
As the year comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and collaboration. ACADS-BSG has had another great year of innovation and evolution, which would not have been possible without your feedback and input. Highlights of our year include: Delivering two rounds of CAMEL+ and HYENA+...
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
