Class Description: This lab is designed to go through custom creation of mechanical and piping families from scratch. Content for Revit® MEP is the key for creating quick flexible designs to lower the cost of modelling and to add value to your business. We will go through how to build fittings from scratch for HVAC, storm and sanitary, and supply and fire. This lab will go through how to develop flexible geometry for sloping systems, accurate analytical systems, as well as a breakdown of category options and connection options. We will look at developing accessories to suit designs, and finally we will look at developing systems equipment that will complete your designs and make it easier to not only create models with fewer errors and issues, but enable flexible changes within the systems. As well as developing enhanced content, we will look at creating correct types to suit design situations, making sure the content is accurate both symbolically and as a model.
