Description
Revit software’s analytical tools provide powerful capabilities for schematic MEP design. However, the lack of a native workflow to convert these elements into 3D system-based models often hinders their adoption. This session will share the workflow that both electrical and mechanical teams at IMEG have developed to tackle the challenge of transforming analytical intent into fully functional Revit MEP systems. You’ll learn how to map analytical elements to specific family types, create user-friendly configurators for precise family placement, and build complete systems by connecting MEP family connectors. We’ll demonstrate automation strategies using Dynamo scripting and robust Revit add-in development. This technical instruction will offer practical and repeatable workflows that enhance Revit software’s early-phase design and overall efficiency, while increasing confidence in its analytical and system modeling tools.
