A few weeks ago we noticed that we had a linked architectural model with named and numbered rooms. The weird thing is some of the linked spaces in the MEP model were showing up as “unassigned” Not all of them, just some. BIM Board of Omaha. Autodesk Fabrication 2013 at Autodesk University 2013.

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.

I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models. Just like a structural model, the beams and columns do not have to be connected to run structural analisys.

Check out page 20 for how you can assign MEP scheduled parameters to items placed in the architectural model. We have already been asked by one of our consultants to use their MEP content in our Architectural model. To try and manage the large number of parameter names I am toying with adding prefix or suffixes. BIM Manager.

Currently the room tags are reading information from the room object in the linked architectural model and I link that view. The space object in the MEP model linkst to the room object in the architectural model. The space object will read the room information from the room object and can be tagged by view in the MEP model.

Some weeks back I was planning on having lunch with a CAD/BIM manager from a competing firm HDR.

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. Out of the box, a user need only understand the scheduling function in Revit to start leveraging that data inherent in the model. Type parameters will be common to every fixture of that type.
