I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. If your wish would come true, what would your one wish be for eigher AutoCAD MEP or Revit MEP? I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models.

I have noticed that when I get architectural models with excessive grouping that they bog down my MEP models. I try to keep the my linked architectural model as clean as possible and one thing that seem to help is breaking up groups. Open the architectural model and expand groups in the project browser.

Revit MEP offers many advantages compared to two dimensional CAD programs. Knowing exactly what you have in a model at all times and knowing that number is correct, brings a level of confidence that enhances the design. Instance parameters can be different for every instance placed in the model. CAD Shack VIPs.

build your as-built model in the existing phase. Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.

Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model. A space understands in which room of a linked model it resides, and it can report the identity of that room. at 10:38 AM.
