REVIT 2023 FOR MEP - HVAC SYSTEMS COMPLETE

[@danialsoozani]

The best tutorial on MEP so far I've seen. Thanks a lot for your deep and simple explanations! by the way, when you want to align and you can't hover the exact destination, you can press tab so that it toggle between different lines to choose

Thanks Rich, your video is great, i can learn from your video. May I ask you one question? Around 09:05, why the location of the air terminal can't be indicated in the schedule? All of The column of room name, level, room level and room area about the air terminal is blank. Grateful, if you can teach me thanks!

hello sir. In Revit, the location of the air terminal (such as diffusers, grilles, or registers) cannot be directly indicated in a schedule because schedules in Revit are typically used to display data that is associated with elements or components within the model. While schedules are an excellent way to organize and quantify information about building elements, they are not designed to show the exact physical location of those elements within the model. Here are a few reasons why the location of the air terminal is not indicated in a schedule: Scheduling Data: Schedules in Revit are primarily used to extract and display data related to the properties and attributes of elements in the model. This data could include information like the air terminal's size, type, airflow rate, and other relevant parameters, but not its precise location within the building. Graphical Representation: Revit schedules are presented in tabular format, and their main purpose is to convey information efficiently. Displaying the location of air terminals graphically within a schedule might not be practical or intuitive, as schedules are not designed to handle graphical representations of model elements. Spatial Information: Showing the exact location of air terminals would require more spatially oriented representation, such as a floor plan or a 3D view, rather than a tabular schedule. Floor plans and 3D views are better suited for visualizing the physical layout and arrangement of elements within the building. To view the location of air terminals in Revit, you can use the floor plans or 3D views, which allow you to see the elements' positions within the building's model. Additionally, you can utilize different tools and features within Revit, such as tags and room boundaries, to help indicate the location of the air terminals in the model and documentation.

@@bim360 thanks. Let me try it later Thanks rich

[@leungbiggrandfather]

@@bim360 but i see you can show the location of the air terminals. I will try to use the tag for marking the location.

[@bim360]

sure try to explore.

Hi Rich Thanks for the useful video, I am unable to show insulation, lining and centre line by dash, have tried VV graphics properties filters nothing helps, how can I add dash centreline to round ducts and not square, I am unable to show the duct bends with directional vanes. Please help

Hi James, it sounds like you're encountering some issues with displaying specific properties in Revit, particularly related to ductwork. Here are steps you can take to address these concerns: ### Displaying Insulation, Lining, and Centerlines with Dashes: 1. **Insulation and Lining Display**: - Select the duct you want to display with insulation or lining. - Go to the duct's properties in the Properties palette. - Look for settings related to insulation and lining. Ensure the correct materials are assigned. - Check the Visibility/Graphics overrides: - In the view where you want to display insulation and lining, go to `View` tab > `Graphics` panel > `Visibility/Graphics`. - Under `Filters` or `Overrides`, ensure that the display settings for insulation and lining are turned on and set to a visible style (like dashed lines). 2. **Centerline Display**: - For displaying centerlines of round ducts: - Go to the `View` tab > `Graphics` panel > `Visibility/Graphics`. - Check the settings for duct centerlines. You may need to adjust line styles here to show them as dashed lines. ### Displaying Duct Bends with Directional Vanes: 1. **Configuring Duct Bend Display**: - Ensure that the duct fittings (bends) have the correct family and type assigned. - Open the family editor for the duct fitting type you're using (e.g., elbow, tee). - Check for parameters related to vanes or directional elements. - In the project view: - Ensure that the view settings allow for the display of these directional vanes. - If needed, adjust visibility and graphics overrides specifically for duct fittings to show vanes. ### Additional Tips: - **Filtering by Duct Type**: - Revit allows you to set specific visibility settings based on duct types. - You can create view filters that apply different display settings to round ducts versus square ducts. - **Visibility/Graphics Overrides**: - Experiment with overrides in the `Visibility/Graphics` dialog. - Use filters to control the visibility of specific elements based on properties like duct type or insulation presence. - **Check View Settings**: - Sometimes visibility issues are tied to specific view settings. Ensure you're adjusting settings in the correct view (e.g., plan view, 3D view).

can you please make videos on scan to bim and point cloud i loved your videos and they are helping a lot💯

[@bim360]

thanks for watching Prajakta. Unfortunately, we are not using scan to bim software at the moment. will do once we get one.
