Discription

To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk Revit 2024 MEP Fundamentals has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP systems from engineering design through construction documentation. This guide is intended to introduce users to the user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make Autodesk Revit a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The guide will also familiarize users with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take users through the basics of a full MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. Topics Covered • Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software, including navigating the Revit interface • Starting an MEP project based on a linked architectural model and creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model • Understanding the project browser and working with views • Understanding Revit families and components • Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools • Copying and monitoring elements and coordinating linked models • Creating spaces so that you can analyze heating and cooling loads • Connecting and testing basic systems • Creating pipe systems with plumbing fixtures and pipes • Creating duct systems with air terminals, mechanical equipment, and ducts • Creating advanced HVAC and plumbing systems with automatic duct and piping layouts • Creating electrical circuits with electrical equipment, devices, and light fixtures and adding cable trays and conduits • Setting up sheets, and placing and modifying views on sheets • Working with dimensions, text, annotations, and legends • Adding tags and working with schedules • Setting up detail views and adding detail components
