Revit Adaptive Components for MEP
The initial release of Autodesk® Revit® (Architectural Design) and its
early adoption by the architecture industry has afforded architects the ability
to effectively utilize specialized features and functions over the platform’s
continued evolution. Over the years, Revit has released additional versions
that focus on specific disciplines and workflows (i.e., MEP Engineering and
Structural Engineering). As these disciplines have adopted the platform and its
features into their workflow, the opportunity to utilize the features offered
in other versions of Revit were not easily accessible or even thought to be
beneficial—until now.
Autodesk Revit is now an application that combines the capabilities and
features of all its Revit releases (Architecture, MEP, and Structure). As
designers and technologists, we found an opportunity to research and experiment
with features that yield useful results in efficiently managing MEP workflows.
A feature architects are utilizing is the Conceptual Massing Environment
as well as the use of Adaptive Components within this environment. Adaptive
Components offer a high level of flexibility that allows the application to
accommodate certain circumstances that the normal modeling tools would
typically make difficult. With the introduction of Revit “One Box,” the
flexibility of these tools can be applied to the MEP side to tackle difficult
design constraints as well as advanced uses of parametric control.
