What’s New in Revit 2018 for MEP Engineering?

Revit is a building information modeling (BIM) software developed by Autodesk for engineers, contractors, and architects. It allows:

    • To access information from BIM database.
    • To design a building and its components in three dimensions.
    • To understand the models with 2D Revit MEP Drafting elements.
    • To track the building lifecycle using 4D models from concept to completion.


It supports features for structural, architectural and MEP engineering.

Recently, Autodesk has updated Revit software for MEP Fabrication and drafting. Let’s deep dive into the new features of Revit 2018 for MEP:

Sloped piping for fabrication:

Revit has been updated by Autodesk for sloped piping with respect to its part. One can now use multi-point routing for fabrication elements. They can also apply slopes to already modeled elements. The updated version allows you to:

    • Apply slope to pipe elements part-by-part
    • Apply slope to branch elements
    • Apply different slopes to T and Y conditions.

Moreover, elements that require being horizontal remain horizontal, they are not affected by the slopes. Also, it is now possible to modify slopes as and when required. A predefined set of slopes are available so that you don’t have to apply a new slope every time. 

Multi-point Routing:

Revit now enables the designers to model MEP fabrication elements with multi-point routing. This feature enables designers and engineers to do a number of things like:

    • They can change the size, shape, elevation, and type of fittings as they route the elements.
    • They can tap into different elements and use remote snapping for making connections.
    • They can use fabrication controls for optimization and hence improve the layout.
    • The multi-point routing takes care of a couple of things like fitting and priority settings, conditions, and other functionalities like connectivity rules. It works well for ducts, pipes, and electrical containment elements.

Outdoor Air Enhancements:

Revit MEP for BIM Engineering now offers better estimates for outdoor air computation. It also provides flexibility for space types. This means designers will be able to create unique space types. Originally, the ventilation loads were stored in such a way that it wouldn’t allow for energy analysis. But in Revit 2018, it is now possible to fetch this information through a new workflow. Hence, energy analysis can be done by the engineers.


Circuit Path:

Initially, there was no feature to route the circuit pathway.  Hence, it was not possible to calculate short-circuit current. This affected the electrical analysis up to much a greater extent. With the advancement in Revit MEP Services, one can simply add a point for routing the circuit path.

Analytical connections for pressure drop-flow:

Early analysis of pressure drop/flow is now enabled in 3D Revit BIM Modeling. This accounts for analytical connections between the pipes and other equipment. Thus, designers can have a complete analytical model during early stages of designing.

Level Of Development (LOD) - Biggest Supporting Tools in BIM Services

If you are venturing into the world of construction, you will come across two terms. One is Building Information Modeling (BIM) services and the second is Level Of Development ( LOD ) Services . The complete process of LOD BIM is easy and if followed with proper and accurate stages those are defined, the result for the project will be the best and as per the expectations. Hence, with this said in this blog the complete topic is to understand what are LOD Services and its stages which helps the constructors to create a better future tomorrow in the form building . The Level Of Development Definition is easy to understand and simple to implement the same in BIM. The term is defined and described as the precision of a model. This detail gives us the actual look of the model as a when created and drafted. In other words, it is said that it will give you specific shapes and measurable locations in the model. The service of LOD was published by the American Institute of Ar

Useful and Easy Advantages and Benefits of BIM Coordination Services

In the construction industry, there are two services that play a vital role and are termed to be an essential method for any design to come out as expected from the clients and that too as per their expectations. These two are the services that are interchangeable with each other, and without following this process and service, the project cannot be taken to the further stage. Yes! We are talking about BIM Coordination Services . The service is playing an important role in terms of presenting the design, and its criteria stage. This is the step that is followed in the entire process of the construction project.   It provides better collaboration within the domain of the design and the main motto for it is to get a digital representation of the design that is followed amongst all the three disciplines for any construction projects.   The process of Building Information Modeling Services (BIM) it is necessary to have proper coordination with the respective team members. Here the team o

What is the Role of the CAD Drafting Provider for REVIT BIM Engineering Projects?

CAD Outsourcing providers are professionals responsible for equipping on CAD Drafting Services and  CAD Design Services. In addition, the CAD Outsourcing C ompany  offers C omputer- A ided D esign (CAD) services using the latest CAD tools and software to create and refine technical drawings and building information models (BIMs) using REVIT S oftware  for various industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing. In a REVIT BIM Engineering  project, a team of professionals, including architects, engineers, and contractors, work together to develop the design and construction of the project. REVIT software allows them to collaborate and coordinate in real-time, sharing information and making design changes as necessary. As a result, it helps ensure that the project's design and construction are accurate, efficient, and cost-effective. The role of a CAD D rafting provider for REVIT BIM Engineering projects is as demonstrated:  ●   BIM CAD Services Provi
