Hello

I am working on my first plumbing design in Revit and i would appreciate some clarification on the post below. I sent the architect plumbing family files that have connectors. The architect then put them in their model which i have linked to my MEP model. I copied the plumbing fixtures from the architectural model and pasted them into my MEP model using 'Paste Aligned-Current View' as 'Paste Aligned-Same Place' was not an option. Is this a good way to start or am i going to have problems.

Thanks in advance!

    • You will however then need to replace these with MEP equivalents that have connectors.
  • Place MEP Plumbing fixtures just as you have been doing and then turn them off in the linked file.
  • Alternatively, only have face based plumbing connector families which mean you don't have to place any toilets / WHB's, only the plumbing connections.
Hope this helps
