Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of guidance from MEP users that are more experienced than I (which is most of you). We are working on our first major project using REVIT and the project Architect has requested that all services place fixtures, sprinkler heads, light switches etc on work planes only and not on Architectural model faces EG no sprinkler heads on ceilings but on separate work planes. Fixtures not on walls but amend them to be plane based. My understanding for this directive is so that the Architect can delete walls, ceilings etc without it having an effect on services items that have been placed on them.
Is this something that happens often on projects? Does this not partly defeat the purpose of using REVIT?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
