[Revit for Breakfast]

I am having difficulty explaining to management how their Revit use is improper and needs to be corrected.

The issue I want to resolve is the practice of modeling mechanical pipe. They don't model it persay. They draw pipe in the floor plans in revit and disregard the 3d portion of the Revit model. Ultimately the mech model becomes a sort of picasso.

I'm not a mech. guy at all, and can't explain the "Revit way". When I try, I get shutdown by them telling me that this is how its been done for hundreds of years.

Anybody know an article that explains the new "Revit Way" to draw mech piping?

My guess would be that *you* won't have to push them to use Revit the way it's intended--the clients will. As soon as they work with a FULLY-coordinated project team, they may find themselves with egg on their face.
