This feature allows you to define multiple tap water consumers within a single generic tap water consumer. A new icon has been added to the Edit Calculation Properties window for both cold and hot water consumers in Stabicad:
Clicking this icon opens a new dialog where you can configure multiple consumer types.
Use the Add Row button to include additional equipment types from the selected standard. In the first column, you can set the quantity for each equipment type. You can also adjust values such as flow and loading units per equipment type. For example, if you add 3 showers and modify the flow rate, that rate will apply to all three.
After configuring your setup and clicking OK, you'll return to the Edit Calculation Properties dialog:
Here, the system displays Multiple Equipment as the type, and fields like flow and loading units become read-only, showing the summed totals of all included equipment before diversity is applied.
These properties are also available in Revit, making it easy to tag and identify the consumer.
This functionality greatly streamlines early-stage design work, such as calculating the required pipe sizes, flow rates, and velocities for main pipes or risers. For instance, if you're designing a system to serve three apartments, each with two wash basins, one shower, and a toilet, previously you'd need to model each fixture individually:
Now, with multi tap point, you can achieve the same results by modeling just a single consumer:
A multi tap point can represent a single apartment, a building level, or even an entire building, saving you valuable time and effort in your design process.
You can confidently use Stabicad with the latest version of Revit: Revit 2026. For a full overview of the new features and improvements in this release, please visit the official Autodesk What's New page.
To provide the best experience on the latest platforms, we've updated our version support. Stabicad always supports the four most recent versions of Revit.
As of this release, Stabicad now supports:
This means support for Revit 2022 and AutoCAD 2022 has been discontinued.
After running a tap water calculation with these standards, the results will automatically appear in the parameters for each fitting. Specifically, tees will display two sets of values, while bends and reducers will show one.
This functionality was already in place for the UK's CIPHE standard and has now been expanded.
