Autodesk Revit MEP: Support for Building Information Modeling

        Autodesk® Revit® software provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineers with the tools to design even the most complex building systems.

Support for Building Information Modeling

Revit supports Building Information Modeling (BIM), helping you drive accurate design, analysis, and documentation of more efficient building systems from concept through to construction. Use information-rich models to support building systems design throughout the building lifecycle.

Piping to Industry Standards with Routing Preferences

With Autodesk Revit and Revit MEP engineering software, you can design and route piping according to industry piping standards to help improve accuracy. Pipe material type and sizes are defined based on industry standards, making it easier to ensure designs meet project requirements.

HVAC/Electrical Design Room Color-Fill Plans

Communicate design intent visually with room color-fill plans. This functionality minimizes the need for deciphering spreadsheets and using colored pencils on printed plans.
Update all revisions and alterations to color-fill plans automatically across your model. Create any number of schemes, and maintain better consistency for the duration of your project. 3D modeling for ductwork and piping enables you to create HVAC systems that use color schemes for design airflow, actual airflow, and mechanical zones. Create electrical color schemes for power loads and lighting per area.

Piping & Electrical Content

Many types of electrical content—including communications, fire safety, data, and nurse call—are available from within Revit. Modeling capabilities for managing electrical and data cable trays and conduits are also available. Cable trays and conduits can be routed as individual runs with or without individual fittings placed between straight sections. Control panels and individual controls or devices can help you connect objects to their appropriate panels.

Sloped Piping

In Autodesk Revit and Revit MEP engineering software, sloped piping tools support enhanced productivity for piping design. Create pipe slope values and transfer from project to project for design efficiency. Define the rise over run and lay out your plumbing design more easily. Calculation is automatic and slope propagation is easier when you apply a slope to a run of multiple pipe selections through fittings. Tag invert elevations at the beginning or end of a pipe run, minimizing guesswork and manual calculations. Keep track of the current pipe elevation with dynamic on-screen tooltips while routing sloped piping. Connect between 2 points in space regardless of the slope required.
