Revit provides a few useful tools that enable you to automatically connect elements by means of fittings when designing piping systems. Here are just a few:
One subject that cannot be ignored these days is the debate concerning the shift from traditional fuel-based heating solutions to alternative and more environmentally safe methods such as boilers and heat pumps. This discussion fits in the larger context of the global concern to reduce energy consumption and utilize forms of renewable energy. As such, the Paris Agreement stands proof for the collective initiative undertaken by a lot of nations to set things in motion and essentially do everything in their power to prevent the global temperatures this century from rising with more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre…
Revit is a tremendous platform that enables the collaboration between different parts involved in a BIM project. However, when it comes to really specific tasks, such as rotating MEP families in free space or around another family, Revit will propose quite tricky solutions. If you have ever attempted to rotate objects in Revit, you know what I am describing.
The SkyStar ECM series uses an innovative brushless electric motor controlled by an inverter card that varies the air flow continuously by means of a 1-10 V…
Revit is the go-to platform for designing and collaborating with construction partners in BIM projects. But when it comes to specific or complex tasks, the platform has its limitations. Reconnecting specific system parts with native Revit functionality, can be quite time-consuming for example. This is why additional plugins or add-ins come in handy. Below, we have selected four MEP Plugins for Revit that will help you realize your Revit projects faster:
Place height annotations for each opening in your project
The Stabiplan Openings for MEP App for Revit has been updated with a much-requested functionality: automatically adding height annotations for all openings in your Revit project. This allows all project stakeholders to easily see the heights for all your openings within the project.
Now available for download as Revit families: ABB Busch-Watchdog detectors. These high-quality detection systems guarantee uninterrupted surveillance in all areas.
You can now add ABB solar inverters to your ABB collection of Revit families and AutoCAD and .IFC files. Download now the new string inverters recently pu…
The ABB content library continues to grow. You can now download Revit families, AutoCAD files and .IFC files for the ABB TwinLine N 44 cabinet system. You can then use this ABB distribution panel in your projects right away!
Swivelling magnetic dirt separator with double filtering action from IVAR is compact, and features a connection kit for the installation under the boiler.
The Netherlands are amongst the leading countries when it comes to BIM: nearly 60% of construction projects are carried out using a digital model. Charles Lekx, senior sales engineer at MEPcontent, talks about BIM standards in the Netherlands and what can we learn from the Dutch when it comes to BIM.
How do you think the Netherlands compares to other countries?
A much requested feature has been added to our Revit Apps for piping systems: drawing bendable piping systems. This new feature allows MEP engineers to design flexible piping systems much faster than with native Revit functionality. The MEPcontent Product Line Placer for Piping, the SANHA Product Line Placer and the Henco Product Line Placer have been equipped with the new feature.
What are the challenges MEP engineers face when they start with Revit?
“In addition to giving MEP engineers more control over their design, Revit offers great basic functionalities. Functionalities like: sectioning, viewing, (auto)routing and connecting elements. But at the same time, working in the platform can be very complex. For example, it can be quite time consuming to…
You can now generate a block schematic of your Revit electrical system
A new schematic has been added to the Electrical Schematics App: the block schematic. This schematic will show an overview of all of the panels in the Rev…
New Brink Climate Systems heat recovery units are, as of this week, available for download from MEPcontent as Revit families, AutoCAD files or .IFC files. D…
DYKA AIR has updated a number of products with dimensions and article numbers. The family pack has been updated with old article numbers removed and new ones added.
The MEPcontent POLOPLAST Product Line Placer for Revit plugin helps BIM experts to get access to the POLO-KAL XS, POLO-KAL NG and POLO-KAL 3S series, made available in this App. Visit the MEPcontent store and watch the video to see the App in action and get a quick impression of what it can do for you. Try the App yourself for free by downloading it from the MEPcontent store and install it for Revit. Create accurate schedules and select the product line, product group or system type of choice from within the POLOPLAST product range. Get the right POLOPLAST coupling or end piece when working with the split elem…
With BIM on the rise, MEP engineers around the world are taking the step from AutoCAD to Revit to work alongside their construction partners. But what is the difference between these two design platforms? Is Revit better? We talked with Revit specialist and product manager Coert de Jong to get all the ins and outs on Revit.
3D modelling changes the way we design systems. Engineers integrate more and more information to build better, more efficient and more durable models and ultimately buildings. That is something that we want to support at Henco. With that in mind, we developed a BIM app in association with MEPcontent. We have integrated Henco products into a BIM tool, making them available to engineers, always with the latest information.
This manifold is created on a lot of user requests for sanitary systems. You can change all necessary sizes and dimensions to fit the family into your project. Valves are optional.
Watch the video and see how to easily configure the manifold to meet your system requirements. Download the manifold family here.
What if you can do repetitive tasks in Revit in less than half the time?
Designing MEP systems gets much easier with the Stabiplan Productivity Tools for Revit. Make use of the versatile and easy-to-use tools such as connecting,…
