|
Specify the pipes and fittings to be used as you draw a pipe run. |
Define piping design specifications for AutoCAD MEP 2024 toolset to use when laying out the pipe run. | |
| Specify system definitions for chilled water or steam systems, size ranges, and display properties. | Define the look of your piping layouts. | |
| Add boilers, chillers, pumps, heat exchangers and other equipment. | Place equipment in a drawing. | |
| Connect equipment along pipe runs and layout the pipe system (sloped or non-sloped). | Configure pipe settings and pipe layout preferences, and apply routing solutions. | |
| Modify the pipe layout. | Refine portions of the existing layout. | |
| Generate construction documents. | Annotate the system as you place objects. Then, create construction documents. |
