Security modelling anyone?

[schrodingerscat]

Just wondering, does anyone else generally have security included into their scope of works? Most of our jobs include security in some form and it just occurred to me that there is nothing to do with security in RMEP. Is it strange for security to be included with electrical? If not, why are communications included though not part of "electrical" in the strictest sense, and yet security isn't?

there is a security device category... i've built families for all of the security devices that i typically use. they're nothing fancy, most are just a box with a cover plate on the wall or ceiling with an annotative plan symbol. i modelled a few types of cameras, dome, arm, etc... do you mean by "there is nothing to do with security in RMEP" that they just didn't supply any content?

Actually I only saw the security device category after I posted, but what I meant was there is no command to insert a security device, or model security systems eg. these cameras link to this station, these link to this station etc.

The Electrical side of Revit MEP is the least developed, I'd be expecting 'some' improvement in future releases, especially with regards to cableways.

Autodesk have a HUGE list of items that either NEED to be in Revit or are at least being considered.

It just depends on how loud users are with the requests, and how viable that request is.

If anyone is looking for security devices visit info@Trusys.com. We have developed a large library full of security devices. We have them all from cameras, card readers, electric strikes etc. I have attached an example of our work.
