Optimally integrate CAD data — with primtech Connectors

Maximize the benefits of your CAD data and integrate your substation data seamlessly into your business processes.

Simple data integration, even for complex projects

CAD data is often isolated and has no connection to other IT systems. This is particularly problematic in the case of high-voltage substations, where the design and engineering data of the installed assets is of crucial importance for their lifecycles, which often last for decades. primtech Connectors solve this problem by seamlessly integrating your substation data into your company application and systems. Our connectors ensure efficient and comprehensive use of the data created with primtech.


Improve your BIM processes with the seamless integration of primtech 3D models in Autodesk Revit.

The Revit primtech Connector is an innovative plug-in for the widely used Autodesk software Revit. This powerful tool allows you to import and convert primtech 3d models directly into Revit. The RP Connector makes it easy to generate the required file formats such as RVT and IFC and thus efficiently supports your BIM processes.

Your advantages:

  • Seamless integration:
    Transfer and convert primtech 3d models directly into Revit.

  • Supported formats:
    Easily create RVT and IFC files for your BIM processes.

  • Efficient workflows:
    Optimize your workflows by directly linking primtech and Revit.


Automate your ordering and construction processes with precise item lists and seamless ERP integration.

Once the design and engineering data has been created, the ordering and construction process begins. primtech supports this step efficiently by automatically creating an item list that is 100% correct down to the last detail. With the primtech ERP Connector, the current prices from your ERP system are added to this bill of materials so that you have an immediate cost overview at the touch of a button (BIM 5D). In addition, primtech prepares the bill of materials so that it can be processed directly by your ERP system, including all relevant details such as the quantity, foreign key and description of each item.

Your advantages:

  • Automated BOMs:
    Get a precise BOM that is automatically generated and correct down to the smallest detail.

  • Current cost view:
    Integrate current prices from your ERP system and get an immediate cost view for your project.

  • Efficient ordering process:
    Prepare order information so that your ERP system can consume it directly.

  • Complete data integration:
    Transfer all relevant information such as the quantity, foreign key and description to your ERP system.


Optimize your model checking and construction process simulation with primtech's direct integration into Navisworks.

Navisworks, a widely used BIM software from Autodesk, is used for model checking, coordination and clash detection. It also enables the integration of the time sequences of a project plan to simulate the construction process (BIM 4D). Thanks to the lean data format, Navisworks only requires a few MB per project. With the direct integration of primtech in Navisworks, you can create models at the touch of a button and configure which attributes are to be written to the individual components. Data from databases connected via prDI can also be easily transferred to Navisworks.

Your advantages:

  • Direct integration:
    Create Navisworks models directly from primtech with just one click.

  • Customizable attributes:
    Configure which attributes are transferred from primtech to the components.

  • Data transfer:
    Integrate data from linked databases seamlessly into Navisworks.

  • Efficient simulation:
    Simulate the timing of the construction process of your switchgear quickly and easily.


prDI, primtech Data Integration, is an easy-to-configure interface for any data source in the company.

The data is displayed either in the primtech Model Manager or in the 3D model with a tooltip. In addition, different views can be configured depending on the user role. For example, an asset manager is shown different data than a project manager.

This interface is therefore the ideal prerequisite for a single source of truth in the company, as the following systems can be integrated and networked, among others:

  • Engineering & Design (primtech)
  • SCADA
  • Geographic information systems (GIS)
  • maintenance
  • asset management
  • ERP (e.g. SAP)
  • project management
  • etc.

Your advantages:

  • Use best-in-class software:
    Each expert software retains data sovereignty over its own data and integrates into the data landscape.

  • Holistic view of assets (digital twin):
    A digital twin is only created by integrating multiple data sources.

  • Data transfer:
    primtech can transfer the data integrated via prDI to other systems (snapshot of a digital twin).


In a CDE (Common Data Environment), all project participants have a view of the various specialist models and can thus control, manage and track plans, documents, models and other project information. In addition, CDEs are often used for clash detection and issue management.

With primtech, a 3D model with attributes and associated 2D plans can be transferred to a CDE at the touch of a button. Many primtech customers use the CDE Autodesk Construction Cloud or Dalux.
