Consultant Coordination

[Mihali]

Hi!

I'm looking to coordinate consultant's drawings (ie mech, hyd, etc) and I was wondering what the simplest way of modeling the piping and ducts? Currently, I'm modeling services with in-place components and was wondering if anyone had a better solution?

Cheers,

M.

I'd use the pipe and duct tools? that's what they were designed to do.
In-Place models may not be horrible, but with the number required, you're going to bloat your model.

I also would use the pipe & duct tools. The biggest frustration with those is you'll probably have to load the fitting families in order to draw full routes. But once that's done, it's done for that project (or if you add them to your template, then they're always ready).
