The Bottom Line
Configure plumbing views
Learning the proper way to set up your
template will ensure a consistent graphical representation across
projects and improve efficiency.
Master It
When you are setting up your project/template views,
where would you control the linetypes and colors of pipe systems?
Customize out-of-the-box Revit plumbing fixtures for
scheduling purposes
Out-of-the-box plumbing fixtures (or any other
equipment for that matter) do not have all the necessary parameters to
complete a typical plumbing schedule.
Master It
What would you need to do in order to create a plumbing
fixture schedule?
Adjust the plumbing pipe settings
Pipe settings are crucial to the
ability to have Revit MEP model your plumbing layout, the way it will
look, and the way it will perform.
Master It
Do fitting parameters have to be set up in the system pipe
types?
Select the best pipe routing options for your project
When
using Revit MEP 2015 for your plumbing layouts, you must understand
the functions of automatic pipe routing, manual pipe routing, and
sloping pipe. Once you master these functions, you can lay out any type
of piping system.
Master It
A plumbing designer has just been asked to lay out a
sloped plumbing system and has only a day to pipe up a clubhouse.
Where should the designer start the pipe route?
Adjust pipe fittings
Pipe fittings are needed in systems to make the
systems function properly and to produce documentation for
construction. Being able to add or modify fittings can increase
productivity.
Master It
You have just finished your modeled layout and have
given it to your employer for review. Your boss asks you to remove a
couple of elbows and replace them with tees for future expansion.
What would be your method to accomplish this quickly?
