I've been working through the same things and using Multi-Categroy and Material tags to do it. Problem is building up the environment and then getting everyone on the project team to play ball with it. Some old habits die hard, and for large project under tight deadlines it makes it even more challenging.

Hi! I You mentioned using 1/4" shower tile along bathroom walls. I'm having trouble figuring out how to create tile patterns for bathroom/backsplash with specified sizes like 12x24 etc.. - have it show in elevation sort of like a hatch pattern, and when rendered in say Enscape - have it show on the wall as a tile wall, with grout and the specified material that I need it to be. Do you have a video on this? I can't seem to find anything on your channel, but I might be looking in the wrong places. Thank you so much!!!!!

Maybe different countries have different perceptions. For me, it is disgusting to connect the sink/floor drain (WP) and toilet drain (SP) together early. (the smell may waft out when washing hands) If this just draw it casually to show the function, that’s fine. Otherwise, there will be a smell if the bathtub and floor drain heads do not have traps.

@@TheRevitKid In addition, some drainage pipes do not have traps. Like fire hydrant boxes and air-conditioning drainage (if the air-conditioning is not turned on in winter, it will be ineffective as long as there is no water) Some buildings don’t understand and think they are all drains and then connect them together.

We create high end Revit family content for manufacturers, where we make multi tee pieces. This T-piece has shared nested reducers and bends and thus can create an assembled connection of a t-piece, reducer and bend in one. because they are shared nested they will be scheduled. Same with a multi bend, 2 bends in one container family.

Beautiful to see you try, but the pipe slope segment is so cringe to see as a MEP designer on Revit. When you do your pipe command, in the ribbon, you have a slope menu. But as a architect, dont bother about the slope (i know a lot of MEP designer who dont even do it).

In spain, architects are prepared and authorized to do everything, from plumbing to structural design and calculation towards final approval and construction. That doesn't mean that they end up outsourcing that to others for assurance as we already have a lot on our shoulders for each project. For efficiency i would preffer to keep diagramatic installations defining the segments and widths that have been calculated. Now i will think about keep it as detailed as yours. Good work.

@@spbaird Interesting. Firstly, it often refuses to connect pipe elements, even though you know that such a connection is possible in reality. I use families from reputable manufacturers (Wavin, Pipelife, ...). You set some deflection allowance in the connections, but Revit still struggles with it and fails to model the piping. If you're not modeling pipes in nice straight lines but need to change the direction of the route with small deviations and ideally assemble it from real-world components available on the market, or if you need a tee turned not at 90° but at other angles, Revit has huge issues with that. I found an excellent plug-in, Naviate HVAC & Plumbing, that includes great features that reduce frustration when modeling pipes. But here's the issue - these features should have been part of Revit long ago, not something for which I have to pay big money to another company that essentially compensates for Autodesk's shortcomings.

@@lourenssmids3273 I wish! I use families created by leading pipe system manufacturers. I believe they are made as well as possible, yet I blame Revit for not allowing families enough flexibility and variability to model piping with numerous small directional changes, various branching angles, and so on, as is often the case in reality.

Multi category tags seem to work really well with the type /instance Comments type marks etc. Ive Even set one up for tagging window schedules so the notes can be adjusted from a master list. The ability to schedule parameters and control the notes from that is a big bonus. One thing I want to improve with them is how to audit notes between modelled items and detail items that should be described consistently. That is where I see it struggling over compared to keynotes.

When detailing, we like using multi-category tags that have both type and instance combined. E.g. type comments and comments. So can use the same detail item type and still annotate instance info like spacings and embendment without having lots of family types. Starting to also trial filters that trigger off set words like existing and beyond, to override visuals. Dash and half tone detail items.
