Is Revit MEP successful?

[sernspiker]

Jarrod,
The sheets you posted look good. Are you using the REVIT panel schedules or something else? Our electrical guys have a real issue with the panel schedules. Can you possibly post some plumbing sheets or are you not using it for plumbing?

Are you using the REVIT panel schedules or something else? Our electrical guys have a real issue with the panel schedules.

Most of the schedules seen are real parametric Revit schedules. One notable exception are the panel schedules which are a generic annotation family with instance parameters and calculated totals similar to an excel spreadsheet.

In regard to the plumbing, we are using it in a limited fashion for two main reasons. First, it is a bit underdeveloped in our opinion and second, because of the diagrammatic style that plumbing is usually drawn in for construction documents there is much difficulty displaying all piping accurately within the model and still have a clean 2d printable sheet. Perhaps there will be added visibility controls for piping added to future releases.

I have included a small sample of plumbing produced with Revit MEP.
