ribbon. You see that there are lots of settings to control, and they will
certainly affect the outcome. So take your time to develop good habits when
you are just starting with Revit.
When routing, manually start the piping run at the elevation that you know

2. One of the best practices is for the architectural model to be linked into
the mechanical model. Download the model

file found
3. Choose Insert Link Revit, select the directory into which you
downloaded the Revit base, select Auto - Origin To Origin from the
Positioning drop-down, and then select Open. By selecting Origin To
Origin, you are assured that the model will be properly located (see
Figure 11.10
). Open the default 3D view {3D}, to review the architectural
model.
Importance of Templates
To improve productivity in piping layouts, make sure to create and
maintain project templates that contain your company standards.
Properly created project templates ensure that everyone in your firm
is on the same page when creating mechanical piping systems. For
more information on how to create project templates from existing
projects, refer to Chapter 2, “Creating an Effective Project
Template.”
