Agenda | MEP Detailing in Revit Strategy LOD 400 Features Hands on with features / functionality
MEP | Strategy
Product Strategy | MEP Improve the quality of building MEP systems through scalable modeling of complex HVAC designs through detailing + fabrication HVAC System Detailing + Fabrication § Ductwork § Hanger layout § Hydronic § HVAC + Equipment modeling piping | electrical coordination support § Improved content editor § Manufacturer engagement to supply key content Transition CAD to MEP Fabrication § North American + British Standard countrification
MEP Fabrication | HVAC System Detailing + Fabrication § North American trades § CADmep user migration to Revit § Part-by-part duct modeling in Revit § Connected experience with LOD 400 components
Provide confidence to the Detailer within Construction firms that what is modelled can be fabricated, procured, and installed. Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
MEP Fabrication | First Steps Focused on model creation, creating a new detail oriented foundation +
MEP | LOD 400 Features + Functionality
Detail oriented tools allow system optimization, reducing time and cost of installation Design 8 Fittings Construction 3 Fittings
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Utilize Autodesk Fabrication MEP Content § Customers utilize investment in Autodesk Fabrication MEP Content (CADmep, CAMduct, ESTmep) § Use Fabrication Configuration data within Revit projects § Autodesk provided sample Configuration. § Model using Services and ITM based content* (* some exclusions) Extend investment in Autodesk Fabrication MEP solutions Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Specification Driven § Specification defines applicable materials § Sets segment length § Controls fitting & segment end connectors Model ductwork based on shop standards Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| Fabrication Detailing Detailed Fitting Properties § Template based parts allow detailed control of dimensional values § Connector settings provide ability to configure end conditions Increased detail + control Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Catalog Part Lists § Product Entry lists product sizes ensure that modelled components reflect dimensionally realistic parts Defined parts conform to real sizes Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Insulation Specifications § Defines insulation thickness and material based on fitting / segment size § Insulation Specification inherits from connected element Simplifies application of insulation Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Specification Driven Straight Optimization § Breaks selected segments into standard lengths Edited segments updatable to match shop standards
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Fittings inserted based on size condition § Fittings insert based on size range conditions as defined within the Service Fitting application based on definable rules
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Smart Snapping and Help Tooltip § Smart Snapping makes it easier to place elements by increasing the snap diameter. § The help tooltip provides new user assistance with keyboard control details Simplified placement and tips for learnability + =
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Modification Controls § Rotate part to orient part 45 or 90 degrees § Toggle connector to reposition connected end of fitting In canvas manipulation or from ribbon Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Couplings and Welds § Couplings automatically insert as defined in the Service § Couplings are removed automatically when connected elements are removed Detailed connector definitions facilitate insertion
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Connect to Revit Families § Connect to equipment and air terminal families § Utilize Revit flex duct/pipe Create models utilizing design intent end of line components
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Tap Placement § Tap fittings may be placed along straight segments § Snap to the centreline of the main § Spacebar rotates the tap around the segment (left, top, bottom, right), SHIFT+Spacebar changes the tap orientation § To reposition on another segment, drag away, and re-snap to the centreline Tap placement and orientation during insertion +
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Hanger Elements § Hanger placement along fabrication segments § Sized automatically § Attach and adjust to architectural and structural elements in linked models Coordinate detailed fabrication model with supporting elements Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
| MEP Fabrication Detailing Electrical Component Support § Fabrication pattern support for § Cable Tray § Wire ways § Bus Multiple discipline to support detailed model coordination
| MEP Fabrication Detailing CADmep, ESTmep, or CAMduct required for content authoring and configuration modification Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies
Detailed modeling… … to EST + CAM output
| MEP Fabrication Detailing | Positioning § Demonstrating commitment to detailed needs of construction user § Fabrication (ITM) Content + Rules § Connected Experience with Fabrication products “Nothing matters if we can't model it. Other workarounds may not be ideal or efficient, but multiple modeling platforms are what we want to avoid the most. ” + Detailed coordination modelling focus.
