Model
ProMatrix module
Engineering
An object-based design system for every construction discipline. Engineers work with objects rather than lines — ducts, dampers, sensors, cables — each with parameters, connectors and a system it belongs to. The drawing, the bill of materials, the isometric view and the brief for another discipline are all views of one model.
In development: first milestone — architecture and HVAC
About the module
A model, not a drawing
ProMatrix Engineering is an AutoCAD replacement for those who mostly don't need 3D — with a path to 3D. The model is 2.5D from day one: every object has an elevation and a height. One model is shown at different levels of detail — the design and working-documentation stages are switched with a checkbox, not redrawn. The bill of materials is built from the model and goes straight into ProMatrix processes: “designed → purchased → installed” becomes a single chain, and “we bought something other than what was designed” is eliminated at the root. Engineering is a large DockStudio module next to ProMatrix: one window, one sign-in, one set of permissions, one object tree. The module is built on the R2O approach: the engineer sets the requirements and makes the decisions, while the system draws, calculates and produces the documentation — and recalculates everything that depends on a change, every time.
Current stage
The first milestone is under way — “Drafting architecture and HVAC with objects”: architecture, ventilation and heating already work in the model. Next comes a pilot on a real project alongside AutoCAD. We invite design firms to become pilot customers.

What the module replaces
Today these tasks are handled by separate programs, with data moved between them by hand. Here they live in one connected model.

What already works
This already works. Everything else is below, in the full module scope.
One model for all disciplines
Architecture and building services live in one model — on the workstation and on the server for teamwork.
Editor
Snaps, grips, a properties panel, undo, commands with AutoCAD aliases — almost nothing to relearn.
Architecture
Layered walls with joins, doors and windows as families (with openings and in 3D), grids per GOST R 21.101, rooms.
Ventilation
Ducts with automatic fitting selection, grilles, dampers, a fan, design and working-documentation stages, GOST axonometric views of the selection.
Heating with calculations
Pipes, heaters, heat loss, heater selection, hydraulics with valve settings, bill of materials.
Codes as data
7 regulatory documents in the model, including SP 131.13330.2025 (552 clauses) and SP 60; 97 tables. The climate at the building's location feeds directly into the heat-loss calculation.
3D and families
Precise 3D solids, hidden-line removal, an equipment family editor with connections.
Link to ProMatrix
The location and the spec come from the project passport; the room schedule is published to the building passport.
Underlays and output
Opens DXF and DWG, saves to DXF. Printing and PDF output.
Features
Full module scope
Everything planned for the module, including what is still in progress. Ordered by the roadmap.
01
Objects instead of lines, 2.5D from day one
Elements, sizes, families and assemblies “from a screw to an air-handling unit”. Each object has parameters, connectors, a system and an elevation — the model knows what has been drawn.
02
Design and working stages in one model
One model, different levels of detail: single-line for the design stage, full detail for the working-documentation stage. A checkbox switches between them instead of keeping two drawings.
03
Schematics on a par with plans
Schematic and functional diagrams are as much a part of the model as plans and are linked to the same objects.
04
Output from the model
Bills of materials to GOST 21.110, sheets, automatic isometrics and sections, export to PDF and DXF. When the model changes, the output is updated.
05
Underlays and moving from AutoCAD
DWG, DXF, PDF and raster images as underlays; AutoCAD blocks and double lines are recognised as objects. Models from other disciplines are taken in from IFC and DWG.
06
A familiar editor
A command line with AutoCAD aliases, snaps, grips, sheets and dimensions to Russian drafting standards — almost no retraining needed.
07
Three collaboration modes
Fully standalone; local network — sync on demand and merge changes, like in Revit; multi-user — everyone works in their own zone and clashes show up immediately. Switching modes is a project setting.
08
All disciplines in one model
The architect moves a wall — ventilation recalculates the air exchange; a fan is placed — its load goes to the electrical engineers. Openings briefs are built from intersections, not sent by email.
09
Connected to ProMatrix processes
Issue to document management, comments on elements, tasks, cost estimates and procurement, construction QA and the as-built model. The bill of materials goes into the quantity register, then on to purchasing and installation.
10
Controls from the HVAC model
A signal model, diagram checks, controller program generation (PLCopen XML / ST for CODESYS and OWEN PLCs; SCL for Siemens), SCADA tag databases and Modbus/BACnet register maps.
11
Calculations on the model
Airflow, hydraulics, electrical calculations and an automatic calculation report — on the same objects, without moving data into third-party software.
12
3D and BIM
3D solids and clash detection, IFC with the Russian construction classification and Ministry of Construction XML schemas for state review, model handover to facility management.
13
Any discipline is a module plus data
A new discipline is added as a module and data, without changing the core. Other countries' standards come as a standard profile: drawing conventions, symbols, section catalogues, codes, language.
14
AI without a black box
A generator proposes an option rather than editing the model; an agent never signs anything. For restricted sites — only a local AI model inside your perimeter.
