The Bottom Line
Create and manage air systems
Knowing how to manage air
systems can help productivity by organizing systems so that items can
be easily interrogated to verify that the systems are properly connected.
Master It
True or false: Outside air cannot be modeled because
there is no default system type from which to select.
Create and manage piping systems
By understanding how to
change and manage piping systems, the user can create and maintain
different systems effectively.
Master It
A designer has been asked by an engineer to create a
Grease Waste system to accommodate a new kitchen that has been
added to a project. What would be the quickest way to accomplish
this feat?
Configure duct connectors
Everyone who needs to create Revit
MEP families should know how to properly configure pipe, duct,
conduit, and cable tray connectors in the Family Editor.
Master It
In order to proceed with the design, a mechanical engineer needs to
create a custom air handling unit family that is not available from
the manufacturer. One of the challenges is that he has to configure
the duct connectors for supply, return, and outside air. What are the
proper settings for those connectors?
Hint: We already mentioned the proper configuration of the supply
and return air systems in this chapter. The only oddball here is the
outside air. This is the same kind of decision that will have to be
made when creating systems such as fuel, medical gas, and so on
that do not exist as a system classification in Revit.
