MEP Assemblies?

[neil.nickless121087]

Hi All,

I am currently working on a modular plant room of which we hope to use revit MEP.
One of our Arch / Structural Revit users has shown me the assemblies feature and this would be perfect for what i need to produce however it doesn't seem to work for MEP components.

does anyone know why this doesn't work for MEP and is there a work around?

cheers

Most model elements (walls, floors, roofs, family instances, parts, and so on) can be included in assemblies. The following elements cannot be included:

Annotations and detail items
Assemblies and elements that are already part of another assembly
Complex structures (trusses, beam systems, curtain systems, curtain walls, stacked walls)
Elements in different design options
Groups
Imports
Images
Links or elements in a link
Masses
MEP-specific elements (ducts, pipes, conduits, cable trays and fittings, HVAC zones)
Model lines
Railings that have a continuous top rail or handrail defined in the railing type properties
Rooms
Stairs created by components (stairs created by sketch can be included)
Structural loads, load cases, and internal loads
