Air Flow Diagrams, Control Diagrams and Zoning Diagrams

[elaforge]

If any information exists on creating the diagrams that I have listed can you point me in the right direction. I am currently working on a project in which we used AUTOCAD (I know, I know bad word) to create these diagrams. It was just quicker to do so this way because all of the blocks used to create these diagrams exist for all of the needed information. If there is an "easy" way to create these documents in REVIT the information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -

There is no "magic button" to create these types of diagrams in Revit. They would have to be created by using detail lines in a Drafting View. The good thing is, you can save the drafting view out to a .rvt file, so that it can be stored in a "library" and used on multiple projects.

You can Import/Link your CAD diagrams into Revit, and in a matter of minutes, "trace" over them with Revit linework. Or you can just leave them as CAD Imports/Links.

It would be really cool to see something where there could be an intelligent link between symbolic lines & tags in the diagrams to actual ducts/pipes/equipment/etc. in the model.

We use diagrams and stuff created in Autocad too. Still seems to us that Autocad is far easier to use for the 2D stuff, not to mention we don't have the library of Revit content built up yet. Working on it, but not yet.
