![]() ![]() Like anything in existence, there's no ultimate solutions, only trade-offs. First off, Revit is great, and Revit is not great. Since you're still kind of new to Revit, let me give you my perspective to help you with years of mental anguish of trying to justify using Revit. AMEP for duct has benefits like Flanges/Joints, something Revit doesn't offer (and if anybody says it does because of MEP Fabrication Sets in Revit, I tell them to get bent as it's not a viable solution). ![]() If you do design/build projects, then definitely learn Revit as it puts you in a great market with little competition. If a GC let's you use AMEP, by all means do it. Revit is more for engineering and "design intent" anyways. I've actually submitted official documentation to the Autodesk Revit Dev team on needing to fix this.ĭon't be scared to continue using programs such as AMEP. Revit's just too difficult for mechanical piping and definitely for sloped DWV piping, especially when it gets too big - the Systems in Revit cripple the project performance. ![]() Some projects don't require the 3D BIM coordination so why over complicate it?For piping, we actually still use AMEP if it's a BIM project and 3D modeling only. I know it goes against the BIM thing but in reality there is still a huge portion of drawings done in single line schematic fashion. I think Revit should have a schematic drawing ability similar to AMEP. It's never ending, but man can we pump out some work in Revit in no time. On average, I'm updating my office's Revit MEP template about 3 times a week, and have been for years. Good Project Template setups and View Templates are absolutely critical for Revit efficiency. Enlarged are always going to be my mechanical rooms, or certain areas where there's just too much going on to fit on a partial. Enlarged are always double lined and never coarser than 1/4" = 1'-0" scale. ![]() Partials can be either/or, just depending on the scenario, and Partial Plans typically stick to "area plans" such as Area A, B, C, etc. I break it up like this: Overalls, Partials and Enlarged for my "plans". So that means I'll have to utilize Revit's Callout Vew a lot, which if you get a good process down, this becomes very efficient. For me, if I'm showing mechanical piping for chilled water systems at double line, I'm going quarter inch scale at a minimum. You will also have to rethink when/where/how you will show single versus double lined pipe. We used to always have a standard of 2-1/2" and over (flanged) would be shown in 2-line and anything smaller would be single line however this has become more difficult with Revit.My advice would be this: start using more creative processes in showing the information. We've been using Revit in house for a year now and I've also struggled a lot with single line drawings. I had the color set to gray but forgot to set it to a solid pattern. And thanks for the compliment, maybe they can inspire you to some degree. As soon as you want to use Piping in Revit as a realistic routing and coordination effort, then forfeit the schematic view, start using enlarged views everywhere necessary, and use tons of Sections and Elevations with Section Box 3D Rendered Views (as shown in my example PDF linked above).Įither way you choose is up to you, but one thing is for certain, again I reiterate: realistic 3D pipe routing and coordination will never get you clean 2D single-line schematic Views no matter how hard you try. Just run the pipe as if you were running 2D linework and that's it. No offsets in elevation, no coordination efforts at all, and no realistic piping types, valve placements or fittings. So you have two options: use Piping in Revit as "3D pipes" in a "2D world". The problem with Revit is this: if you model realistically then your schematic single-line display will suffer immensely. It's clean, easy to follow and well organized.
