REVIT MEP ESSENTIAL TRAINING

Objectives

After completing this guide, you will be able to:

 Describe building information modeling methodology.

 Use the different parts of the Revit MEP user interface and work with different
types of Revit elements and families.
 Manage the different views and change their properties, control the visibility
and appearance of elements in different views, and work with section, elevation, and 3D views.
 Set up a project using different templates, link Revit models, share projects
using worksheets, define discipline settings, and import and edit DWG details.
 Create spaces and zones in a Revit model.
 Analyze an analytical model for conducting a building performance analysis,
Define heating and cooling loads information, and calculate heating and cooling loads.
 Create HVAC systems, generate HVAC system layouts, and create and
modify ductwork using Revit tools.
 Layout and create system piping.
 Create plumbing systems.
 Create fire protection systems.
 Create electrical circuits and wiring
 Monitor changes in files of other disciplines linked to Revit MEP and check and fix interference
 Conditions.
 Work with callout, detail, and drafting views.
 Work with text and tags, dimensions, legends, and schedules.
 Add titleblocks to a sheet, update the project information in a titleblock, and work with sheets.
 Create and modify simple families.
