R e v i t M E P基本概述教程本教程将提供有关Revit MEP 学习入门的信息,主要内容包括:概况介绍在教程中设计的建筑信息模型的基本概念和相关术语以及如何与其它相关专业开展协同设计的操作流程。
在这些教程中,用户将学习如何在Revit MEP 中创建并设计建筑信息模型(BIM)。
同时也将学习与Revit Architecture 和Revit Structure 两款兄弟产品的链接操作与协同设计。
教程的组织方式:本教程是遵循典型的机械、电气和卫浴工程的工作流。
用户将在后续的详细教程完成以下设计培训:•导入二维(DWG) 或三维(RVT) 格式的建筑楼层平面。
•添加基本MEP 图元,如风管、装置和管道。
•添加更详细的建模图元,如机械设备、配电盘和卫浴装置。
•分析系统并优化MEP 图元。
•创建明细表、视图和图纸,以创建项目施工图。
•创建详图视图、注释和标记。
教程练习的设计遵循基本和简明的原则。
用户不必设计整个系统,而只需设计足以了解本产品中各种工具和选项的使用方法的部分系统即可。
例如,添加管网时,只需在建筑的一个翼楼中绘制风管。
在打开有些培训文件时,用户会注意到文件中包含之前在练习中并未特别添加的MEP 图元。
例如,为提供更丰富且更完善的设计,在后续培训文件中并入了诸如其他管网和设备等图元。
这些图元强化了用户将完成的练习。
★了解基本概念在本课程中,将学习Revit MEP 是什么,以及如何从其参数化修改引擎功能中受益。
先从Revit MEP 所依据的基本概念入手。
用户将学习术语、图元层次结构,以及如何在产品中执行某些常见任务。
★了解概念什么是Autodesk Revit MEP?用于建筑信息模型的Revit MEP 平台是建筑设计和文档系统,它支持建筑项目所需的设计、图纸以及明细表。
建筑信息模型(BIM) 提供了用户需要的有关项目设计、范围、数量和阶段等信息。
在Revit MEP 模型中,所有的图纸、二维视图和三维视图以及明细表都是同一个基本建筑模型数据库的信息表现形式。
(Building Information Modeling ,建筑信息建模)的强大功能。
这就是未来的系统设计 - Revit MEP 2009。
在本教程中,将学习如何使用建筑项目的链接建筑模型创建电气系统。
该建筑物中有多个空间,您将在其中设计照明和电力系统。
第一课中提供了一些练习,通过这些练习可以为在下节课中要设计的各种系统类型准备项目。
注意本教程中使用的建筑模型位于“Architectural "文件夹中。
您应该维护指向建筑模型的相对路径。
不过,如果链接丢失,则可单击“文件”菜单 “管理链接”重新载入链接模型。
在“管理链接”对话框中的“Revit "选项卡上,单击“重新载入来自”,定位到“Training Files "“Metric "“Electrical "“Metric_Arch_Model ",然后选择“m Office Building.rvt "。
用来完成这些练习的数据集位于“Training Files "目录中。
可以通过搜索“Training Files "“Metric "目录来确认是否已下载这些数据集。
如果教程数据集不存在,请转到 /revitmep-documentation 并进行下载。
注意本教程中的所有练习需要按顺序完成,只有完成前一练习,才能继续下一练习。
在完成每个练习后,可以选择保存工作。
但是,强烈建议始终通过打开 Autodesk 提供的数据集开始练习。
此数据集包括前面的练习中的工作,并可确保不间断地完成培训课程。
本节内容z 规划电气系统 z设计电气系统在 Revit MEP 中设计系统的最常用方法是在链接的建筑模型中工作。
在本教程中,将使用已链接到建筑模型的项目文件,其中该模型的所有区域中均已放置了“空间”构件。
要了解更多关于链接和准备建筑模型的信息,请参见“机械系统”教程中的“规划机械系统”。
在本课程中,将指定电气设置,载入包含构成电气系统的电气构件的族,并创建设计项目的电气系统时所需的明细表。

He has experience in electrical engineering for a wide range of project types from University labs, healthcare facilities, and data centers. Geoff has detailed hands-on experience producing electrical engineering designs using AutoCAD® software, AutoCAD MEP® software, and Revit MEP® software. Geoff is always looking for new ways to introduce Building Information Modeling techniques into the electrical engineering process in order to simplify drawing production, improve accuracy, and enhance communication with Architect's and facility Owners.*******************Techniques for Efficient Diagrams in RevitLet’s be honest. When we all transitioned from AutoCAD to Revit, the last thing that we probably did in Revit, was our diagrams and our details. Maybe because we were intimidated by change, and just not familiar with the commands in Revit. But working in a 2D environment in Revit is actually really easy and efficient, and it is just a matter of getting used to it.Here are some tips on how to create efficient diagrams in Revit.1. Create all your contentIf it’s a symbol, create it! Consider using masking region in building your symbols. We’ll discuss more about this later.2. Determine your sheet limitsThis should be the first thing you ever do when drafting. You don’t want to keep drafting then realize you’ve drawn over your sheets as you finish. Check your border, and measure.3. Create a grid guide in your drafting view or floor plan that matches your sheet limitsCreating a grid allows you work quicker, more efficient, and prevents you from “eye balling”, when laying out your detail lines. This will also allow you to create a more presentable diagram. Creating a family would make this more efficient.4. Pin the grid guideDetail item family5.Click on the “Select Pinned Elements” iconBy pinning the grid, then clicking on the “Select Pinned Elements” icon, this will allow you to hover over the grid, without selecting the grid. After these simple steps, you should be able to start on your diagram.6.Create different line styles for each distribution branchThis allows for your too easily follow the connections.7.Utilize the grid guide lines when drafting your detail lines8.Consider using masking region, instead of splitting when lines intersect as belowHere are the steps in using masking region:a.Create a masking region.b.Highlight the details lines that you do not want masked, then “bring to front”.The image below is the result after masking.9.Lock generic annotations (symbols) onto the detail linesThis allows the symbols to move with the detail lines as it moves.10.Turn off the grid guide before you printTip: If your diagram is large enough to continue onto another sheet, you can also create your diagram in a floor plan so you could generate dependent views.Figure 1.1 below is one of the most complex diagrams that I have ever worked on, created in a floor plan view, duplicated into 3 dependent views (Figure 1.2). Remember, all lines runs across continuously from sheet to sheet like the levels, and feeders. Lines are masked between sheets using masking region.Figure 1.1Figure 1.2Efficient 2D Symbols and Modeled familiesCreating content could be lots of fun. Once you get into it, you will think of different ways to be creative with your content, and try to make them as efficient as possible. Here are some things to consider when building content.1. For 2D Generic Annotation Familiesa.Make good use of masking region.b. Create all the Labels and Text as needed. If it needs to change, use a Label and set it asan instance. If not, use a Text. Name the Label to be understandable.c. Visibility. If there are multiple Symbols in your Family, make sure to set the visibilitycorrectly with a Yes/No Parameter.Masking regionMasks the detail line as you place your symbolLabel TextFilled region controlled by yes/no parameter “GFCI”Filled region controlled by yes/no parameter “Emergency”2.For Modeled Familiesa.Keep the 3D modeling simple. There is no need to show the nuts and bolts, every curveand angle of the device/fixture/equipment. As long as you show the overall dimensions,then that should be enough for coordination.b.Family Category and Parameters. Make sure these are set correctly. Check theOmniClass Number as well.c.Family Types. Do not use the Family Name in the Family Type Name. Name them toshow the size or information specific to the Family Type.d.Scheduling. If the Family is to be scheduled in Revit, make sure you have all necessaryShared Parameters set by your firm.e. Annotation Symbols. Families like electrical, ITC, fire alarm, lighting devices, some lightfixtures like downlights, exit signs, do require Annotation Symbols. If the family uses the size of the model as its symbol, like 2x4 light fixtures, then use a Detail Item.• Nest the Annotation Symbol/Detail Item families.• Make sure Symbols are per your company standards.• Visibility. Determine if the Symbol(s) requires a Visibility option to display theSymbol or not and set the visibility correctly with a Yes/No Parameter.• Set the Symbol(s) “Visibility/Graphics Overrides” to show only in Coarse andMedium Detail Level.f. Name your Reference Planes/Lines correctly such as Front, Back, Center (Front/Back),etc. This will allow for users to figure out how the content was built, and allow for easy modifications to the family when required.g. Set Dimensions to Reference Planes/Lines, not Detail Lines or Modeled Elements.h. If an equipment requires a clearance, show it. This would help in the design process. Youcan base the clearance per code, or from the manufacturer.PanelClearancei.Nest the different Components of the family, like the equipment, clearance, pads. TheseNested Families can be created as Generic Models. This makes your family free of multiple reference planes, and makes each component easier to manage within the family.j.Electrical Connectors. Make sure that correct parameters are linked to the Connector Element. For conduit connectors, make sure they are facing the right direction.k.Test your Family. When the family is loaded into a project, does it do the necessary changes in size, movements and visibilities without errors? Make sure to test allparameters that are shown in the properties of the Family.Figure 2.1 is an example of our Switchboard Family3D View Plan ViewSwitchboardSwitchboard Placeholder Detail Item or Annotation SymbolPad Equipment ClearanceFigure 2.1Using Filters for Electrical Distribution BranchIn this objective, we would like to share how we’ve used filters as a design tool by color coding the different electrical distribution branches. This is just one example of the countless possibilities where in you could use filters, and shows how powerful this is.1.Items to consider when creating filtersa.Filter naming. Use a standard naming convention, and have this figured out before youstart.b.Filter rules. Determine the necessary parameters you need for each filter.c.Visibility, Projection/Surface. How do you want represent these in your view? Determinethese as well.d.Be creative2.How to set-up your filtersa.Go to visibility graphics, then under the Filters tab, click on Edit/New…b.Under Filters, click on Create New, assign the Filter Name, click OK…c.Select the category you want to filter, then apply filter rules, click OK…d.Under Filters, click on Add, then under Add Filters, select the filter, click OK…e.Under Visibility Graphics, select the filter name, then override its visibility as you wish,which in this case we changed the color alone. Click OK under Color, then click OK under Line Graphics…f.Under Visibility Graphics, click OK to finish.Figure 3.1 below shows the different filters we’ve created based on the different distribution branches that we use. We created filters for equipment, and electrical devices/wires. We then matched the projection lines per the distribution branch. It is highly recommended to set these in your view templates.Figure 3.1The beauty about filters, is that visually elements change their projection lines based on the rules that you have set. We matched the electrical distribution branch filters projection lines between equipment and devices/wires, so as you circuit your device to a panel, they would match colors.Figure 3.2 below shows that as we layout our electrical equipment, they come in as a default color, white. As we named the panels (figure 3.3), they change colors based on how we name our panels. This also tells us, whether or not we have actually named our panels. The filter rule we applied here, is that an electrical equipment, is filtered by panel name, which begins with…Figure 3.2 Figure 3.3Figure 3.4 below tells us, whether or not we have circuited our device, and as you circuit (figure 3.5), the device and wire colors change to match the corresponding panels it’s assigned to. The filter rule we applied here, is that an electrical device, is filtered by panel, which begins with…Figure 3.4 Figure 3.5We also used filters for coordinating between electrical connectors and the architects/lighting designers lighting layout, and for the coordination between electrical and mechanical equipment, showing only mechanical equipment that have electrical power in our electrical plans. We will discuss more about these in the next objective.Coordination between Electrical and Other DisciplinesRevit is such a powerful software, and it’s in coordinating the different disciplines where you could take full advantage of this. Coordination between architectural and structural, structural andmechanical/plumbing, and of course, electrical and everyone else! There’s so many ways on how we can accomplish this in Revit, and we would like to share with you how we do it.1. LightingIn most cases, the architect and/or lighting designer usually models the light fixtures when you receive the architectural Revit model from them. So since it’s been modeled already, then there’s no need to redo the work. Since we cannot circuit between linked models, we decided to create light fixtures that act as connectors, which represents our symbols, for circuiting purposes only.Here’s our process:a. Create the light fixture families to match the architects and/or lighting designers scheduleand/or specs focusing on dimensions, voltage, apparent load, and wattage. Dimensions are important to match, so as you overlay the fixtures, they line up. If your are creating a schedule yourself, then incorporate all the parameters needed as well like description, lamp type, number of lamps, and tag.b. Create a coordination view or design view rather than using your sheet view. Visually, itwould be easier to coordinate the fixture locations here.``` Coordination or design viewSheet viewc. Set-up your filters in your view templates. In figure 4.1 below, we created 2 filters. Thefirst one for the architects/lighting designer’s layout, and the other one for our light fixture connector. We filtered our light fixture connector simply by family name, changed our projection patterns, and modified the transparency on either one. On the modelcategories tab, we also turned off the visibility of all models except for the light fixtures.Figure 4.1d. In the coordination view, we overlaid our light fixtures on top of theirs. Figure 4.2 belowshows that the blue fixture indicates the architect/lighting designer’s light fixture layout, and yellow fixture indicates our light fixture connectors. Gray indicates we’ve overlaid the fixtures, and that the location is coordinated.Figure 4.2Our light fixture connectorCoordinated fixture locationArchitects and/or lighting designer’s layoutUncoordinated fixture location2.Mechanical/Plumbing EquipmentIdeally, you only want to show mechanical or plumbing equipment that has power on yourelectrical plans. We used filters to control which mechanical equipment to show, by adding ayes/no parameter “is Electrical Power” to the mechanical equipment. You can also coordinateyour schedule with theirs, by creating a multi-category schedule, and comparing the mechanical equipment data, to your motor connector data.Here’s our process:a.Create a motor connector family that contains common shared parameters that also existin the mechanical equipment. These parameters will be used this to filter and sort out ourschedule, and for visibility of our mechanical equipment on our electrical plans. We alsocreated the different types of motor sizes based on voltage, phase and horsepower perNEC.Figure 4.3 shows the parameters that we are sharing between electrical and mechanicalfamilies, which are:•Is Electrical power Yes/No parameter•Equipment Type Text parameter•Equipment Number Text parameterFigure 4.3b. Set-up your filter in your view templates. In figure 4.4, we created a “Mech EquipmentPower” filter, which is filter by the “Is Electrical Power” parameter, equals “no”. In the filters tab, we then turned off the visibility. Make sure to turn on the visibility of the mechanical in the model categories tab, and change the projection lines of themechanical equipment. This will then turn off all mechanical equipment that has no electrical power in your view.Figure 4.4c. Layout your motor connector to line up with the mechanical layout. You can lock theconnector to the mechanical equipment (figure 4.5), so it moves with it. Consider tagging directly the mechanical equipment (figure 4.5), instead of your connector, so whenmechanical changes the equipment name, it updates. Update the Equipment Type and Number parameters on your connector to match the mechanical (figure 4.6).Figure 4.5Figure 4.6Tag directly the mechanical equipment Lock theconnector to the equipmentUpdate to matchmechanicald. Create a multi-category schedule for electrical mechanical coordination. We then filteredthis by the yes/no parameter “Is Electrical Power”, then sorted it out by Equipment Type, then Equipment Number, then Family. We then refer to the mechanical equipment voltage, phase and horse power, then select our family type to match.Figure 4.7Figure 4.8 shows the layout of the mechanical engineer. Figure 4.9 shows the power plans, wherein the only mechanical equipment outline shown are the (2) FCU’s, since these are motorized and are to be scheduled.Figure 4.8Figure 4.9Shared parametersShared parametersFrommechanical equipment From electrical connectorChange type to match mechanical`Everything Electrical for Revit MEP®Thank you for attending AU 2014, and for joining us in our class today.
