    Default Revit MEP 2013

    Revit 2013 Versions are starting to show up on Autodesk Subscription and that led me on a search for the new features. I've never been too excited about the changes they've made to Revit MEP but this new version sounds like it might address many of the broken features, or at least the ones I noticed are broken. Here is where I went to see a summary of the "What's New"

    http://bimboom.blogspot.com/2012/03/...e-summary.html

    First, it looks like the duct fitting database will finally be fixed. Whether that turns out to be true remains to be seen. This would be huge if it was an accurate method of calculating pressure drops like it was supposed to be all along.

    Second, you can export building thermal resistance data. Again, remains to be seen how accurate/useful this will be. Will it calculate it from the architects walls or are we stuck re-inputting wall data?

    Exportable pressure drop data, which kinda ties into the duct fitting database. Will be nice to export something that you can then modify. They also split pressure drop data before/after taps now. Before it would not.

    Loop leaders - weee! We actually had a custom made loop symbol that we placed and drew a leader line and text to.

    Yes, I can't wait to see if the static pressure calcs actually work.

    Just installed 2013...still can't calculate pressure drop through a tap. The duct pressure report is kinda cool though, just useless.

    Do you have a link for the download? The only download I've seen is for the 30-day trial. I thought previous releases had a different link to download???

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Nevermind... just as I clicked the "post" button I realized I hadn't checked the subscription site... just the regular Autodesk site. I found it on the subscription site.

    Is it wrong that the feature I am most excited about is the loop leader?

    Not gonna lie, that's my favorite little feature on the list.

    Now about that text editor that was number 1 on the Wishlist for all 3 Revit platforms....

    Interesting response from the support ticket I opened after I found out the taps still didn't work:


    Thank you for your patience while we researched this issue.

    At this time, we are still working on getting Revit to pull the correct ASHRAE Table. The permanent fix will most likely require that the code for Revit to be changed and as such, the workaround for now is to set the family to specific loss and specify the loss.

    As our Development group had confirmed the issue and they are actively working to fix the issue., there is not anything more for Product Support to do on this case and the case will be closed at this time. Please note that this does not impact the priority or timeline for the implementation of the fix by our Development group, it only means I will not be actively involved.


    The above "fix" was what you had to do since the duct pressure calcs were introduced in 2009. 5 releases with broken code in it is pathetic.

    I see RS isn't the only version to have the support team dismiss things that have been know problems since release 2.
