This is smart planning: Gira and RED CAD
The combination of the Gira Planning Assistant and the RED CAD APP now offers an even more efficient workflow. Projects created in the Gira Planning Assistant can be imported directly into the RED CAD APP. With the new module, the planned Gira components can be displayed quickly and clearly in the floor plan of the building.
Consistent planning right from the start
Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading suppliers in the field of intelligent building technology. From switch ranges and door communication to smart home systems, Gira offers solutions for modern electrical installations. The ‘Gira Planning Assistant’ (GPLA) provides specialists with a powerful tool for planning installations, preparing quotations and controlling project costs.
Visual planning with the ‘Gira Manager’
Thanks to the new module, it is now possible to further edit project plans in RED CAD. The ‘Gira Manager’ takes on the role of the central control element: project floor plans are imported, areas and rooms are defined and the appropriate devices and components are placed – right through to the finished installation drawing.
Now available
The new module is now available to RED CAD users (Germany and Austria).

New interface between Metaroom and RED CAD
Instead of tape measures and sketch pads, the iPhone or iPad Pro is now being used: with the Metaroom app, existing rooms can be digitally recorded in just a few minutes – precisely, structurally and completely. From now on, this room data can be processed directly in RED CAD.
Metaroom is a platform for fast and accurate digital recording of interior spaces. With the Metaroom Scan app, rooms can be digitally recorded in just a few minutes using a LiDAR-enabled iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. What used to take hours of manual work – tape measure, sketches, post-processing – is now replaced by a single scan. Doors, windows and room structures are automatically recognised and transferred as editable elements.
The 3D models or 2D floor plans automatically generated from the scan are imported into the RED CAD APP via the new interface. Importing Metaroom Scan into RED CAD saves a tremendous amount of time when planning in existing buildings. This makes the integration particularly interesting for specialist planning offices that want to digitise many existing projects and save time at the same time.

Thank you, Daniel Bamberger!
After more than 12 years at RED CAD, we are saying goodbye to Daniel Bamberger, who will be taking on new professional challenges from January 2025. During this long period, we have experienced a lot together and achieved many milestones. His active role in the launch of the RED CAD APP at Electro Tec in Bern and his significant involvement in two relaunches of our website were particularly memorable. In addition, he drove forward the implementation of our new ERP and CRM system, providing important impetus in the process. He personally trained more than 350 users on site, thus making a decisive contribution to the successful use of our software. Another highlight was his great commitment to the fire protection project in the RED CAD APP, which he actively helped to develop.
For Daniel, working at RED CAD has always been a real ‘matter of the heart’. We are grateful for everything he has done for our team and our customers over the past years and wish him all the best for the future.
We look forward to our paths crossing again in the future!
