Services
Each service is associated with a service template and describes the type of MEP system that the service template represents. Settings are used to configure how insulation and hangers behave for each service.
When modeling in Revit, use the MEP Fabrication Parts palette to select services, palettes, and parts. See Place Fabrication Parts in a Revit Model in the Revit Help.
