Close-Coupling Families With Duct Connectors Sharing the Same Space

[mrgrotey]

Hi guys,

I produce AHU Revit models as part of my job but I have a query regarding how they get used by the clients.

My AHUs are essentially glorified boxes and have the standard rectangular duct connectors on the ends.

If I produce a separate ancillary, such as an attenuator and have duct connectors on the end of that too but that then gets pushed up against the AHU model in the project (effectively making two duct connectors share the same space) how does the user make sure the duct system is connected throughout the system when there is no space for ducting between the AHU and the attenuator?

Pease see the image attached for a better idea of what I mean as I sure I'm babbling nonsense here.

Sorry if this is a n00b question but I have virtually no training in the project building side of Revit, just family creation, so have always wondered this.

Thanks very much.
