&lt;p&gt;For AECOsim Building Designer Mechanical, aside from standard industry formats such as IFC or DWG the only format directly supported in SELECTSeries5 is CAMduct Export for fabrication purposes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;SELECTSeries6 release includes support for Vulcan software (via i-models), also for fabrication.&amp;nbsp; SS6&amp;nbsp;also includes a greatly expanded Duct/Pipe sizing tool for use within AECOsim Building Designer itself.&lt;/p&gt;
