After drafting your building systems layouts, you need to check for valid connections between parts, completed runs from start point to endpoint, and interferences between other building systems components or structural members. You may also need to verify specific object connections. AutoCAD MEP 2024 toolset provides tools to assist you in checking your layout:
- Show Solution Tips. This command shows invalid connections between components by displaying a solution tip icon at the invalid connection points. For more information, see Showing Solution Tips.
- Show Connected Run. This command displays a complete run of connected components by highlighting the run from start to end. For more information, see Showing Connected Runs.
- Show Connected Objects. This command highlights the objects that are connected to a selected object. For more information, see Showing Connected Objects.
- Interference Detection. This feature finds interferences between building systems or AEC structural objects by highlighting the intersecting portions of the objects. For more information, see Finding Interferences.
- Show Circuited Devices. In electrical system drawings, you can use this command to highlight the devices that are connected to a selected circuit. For more information, see Showing Circuited Devices.
