Create mechanical, electrical, and piping systems, and define spaces and zones in the building model.
Topics in this section
Mechanical Systems
Design mechanical systems, such as duct system, to meet the heating and cooling demands of the building. Create duct systems using tools to place air terminals and mechanical equipment in a project. Use automatic system creation tools to create duct routing layouts to connect the supply and return system components.
Electrical Systems
Create electrical systems (circuits) to place devices, lighting fixtures, and electrical equipment in a project.
Piping Systems
Create piping systems by placing mechanical components in a model and assigning them to a supply or return system. Then, using layout tools, you can determine the best routing for the piping that connects the system components.
P&ID Modeler for Revit
Use P&ID Modeler for Revit to coordinate data between an AutoCAD P&ID drawing (piping and instrumentation diagram) and a Revit model.
Fabrication Detailing in Revit
Use Revit and LOD 400 content from the Autodesk Fabrication products (CADmep, ESTmep, and CAMduct) to create a more coordinated model.
Spaces
Place spaces in all areas of the building model to store values used for performing Systems Analysis on the building model.
Zones
Use the zone tool to define spaces that can be controlled by environmental control systems, such as heating, cooling, and humidity control systems. This lets you perform load balancing and analysis procedures on a building model.
Show Disconnects
You can display disconnect markers for connectors that are not currently connected.
Use the System Inspector
Use the System Inspector to view the properties for a selected duct or pipe system.
About the System Selector
Use the System Selector, on each of the Systems/Circuits tabs for a selected element, to select a system associated with a connector on the element.
