In the construction industry the role of digital 3D content is getting more and more important, as content is used at the start of almost every construction project. If the content used in a project is not correct, this will impact the quality, the calculations and the eventual realization of the project. To ensure engineers work with high quality project content, MEPcontent offers more than 500,000 3D objects in different file types.

What content types are there?
The objects on MEPcontent are offered in different file types, namely IFC, DWG, RFA and PLS. RFA files can be used in Revit, DWG in AutoCAD and IFC is a platform-independent file type, which can be used to exchange information between different parties working on different design platforms. The PLS is a file type which is particularly useful in BIM projects. PLS stands for Product Line Sheet and is actually an Excel sheet with data that can be used as a source for generating BIM content, for example for apps. The Product Line Sheet is filled with parametric information about the geometrical model. It’s lightweight, fast and therefore easy to use in BIM-projects, while still providing a realistic representation of the product with the right connectors and information that is valuable to MEP engineers.

Quality guaranteed with EMCS
Regardless of the file type, the quality of the content is guaranteed by the EMCS: the European MEP Content Standard. This ensures that the data attached to 3D-content is correct and in line with the engineers expectations and needs. The EMCS helps the engineer and the manufacturer to see how the content is being built, what kind of information is attached to it, and how it can be used in different kinds of projects. It ensures content is compact, small and easy to use which makes it faster to use in large projects. The EMCS is also matched to various BIM standards such as ETIM and VDI, to ensure content complies to leading European BIM standards.

Ready to order
In addition to enriching content with technical data, such as technical manuals, the content is also equipped with manufacturer-specific trade and product data. So besides all the technical parameters, also deeplink URLs to the manufacturer website are added, or GTIN numbers and in some cases even a connection to wholesaler databases. This way, MEP engineers can access details from their preferred supplier directly from the BIM model. This makes it easy to order products and get prices directly from the model, already in the design stage. This is the real added value of BIM, as engineers can access all the information they need directly from within the model, and information is used efficiently throughout the entire project.

Are you working with Pegler Yorkshire piping systems in your MEP projects? You can now directly design piping systems in Revit for this leading UK manufacturer using the MEPcontent PLiP for Piping app. Multiple product ranges for this manufacturer have been added to the app, which can be downloaded from the MEPcontent store.

About the app
Drawing piping systems from leading manufacturers such as Geberit, Georg Fischer, Pegler Yorkshire, Rehau, SANHA, VSH, Viega and Wavin is done in a blink of the eye with the MEPcontent PLiP for piping app for Revit. With this app, engineers design piping systems at lightning speed while working with specific product data from their preferred suppliers. And always connected to the actual product databases in the cloud.

Fabrication ready families
The app allows engineers to go through the entire BIM workflow using only Revit. With the content in the app, users can create fabrication ready piping systems. Finally, 3rd party fabrication tools are no longer required, which will massively increase the engineering productivity.

BILT, formerly known as the Revit Technology Conference (RTC), has been held in Aarhus Denmark from 5 to 7 October. A great event, which was very well organized by the BILT team, offered many interesting opportunities for RTC EUR Delegates. Opportunities to meet-up with industry peers, to learn more during the knowledge sessions, to visit our MEPcontent stand for an app demonstration at the exhibition venue and to get to know us better during one of the social events.

In case you missed this event, don’t worry.

A key innovation that was introduced at BILT were our apps for Revit. And there are still plenty of opportunities to learn more about them. You can still get in touch with the MEPcontent apps team via marketing@mepcontent.com to schedule a demonstration for an app. You can also subscribe to our BIM Insights Sessions webinars to learn more about BIM, MEPcontent, trends and apps/plugins.

Save time and money with our new app
One app in particular gained a lot of interest during the exhibition. Did you know we have a tremendous time and money saver in the MEPcontent store?

Try our new Revit plugin for designing manufacturer specific piping systems! With the MEPcontent Product Line Placer (PLiP) app you can design piping systems from leading piping manufacturers in Revit in no time. The in-app autorouting functionality lets you draw piping systems in the blink of an eye: the right fittings, components and bends are added fast and automatically. The app is equipped with product data from manufacturers such as Geberit, Georg Fischer, Rehau, SANHA, Viega, VSH and Wavin. Your piping system is 100% reliable, both in the design and the realization stage. You get access to fabrication ready families and can draw and place piping systems (including all relevant components you use for pipework projects) in no-time.
