Systems Equipment
If you were to build an equipment family and categorize it as something
other than Mechanical or Electrical Equipment, you would not be able
to assign it as the equipment for a system when you create MEP
systems in your project.
You can set the category of a family by clicking the Family Category And
Parameters button on the Create tab in the Family Editor, as shown in
Figure 19.3 .

option is for equipment that is simply placed into the model and stands on

ductwork or pipe. The Breaks Into option allows you to insert the family
directly into a run of duct or pipe without having to first create an opening
for the equipment.
