二、构件主要功能是结构中常用构件的详图绘制，有梁、柱、墙、楼梯、雨蓬阳台、承台、基础。

只要输入几个参数，就可以轻松的完成各详图节点的绘制。

三、计算主要功能是结构中常用构件的边算边画，既可以整个工程系统进行计算，也可以分别计算。

可以计算的构件主要有板、梁、柱、基础、承台、楼梯等等，这些计算均可以实现透明计算过程，生成WORD计算书。

四、工具主要是结构绘图中常用的图面标注编辑工具，包括：尺寸、文字、钢筋、表格、符号、比例变换、参照助手、图形比对等等共有200多个工具，襄括了所有在图中可能遇到的问题解决方案，可以大幅度提高工程师的绘图速度。

功能优势一、专业化的多比例绘图功能，满足用户不同绘图习惯方式在使用CAD绘制施工图绘制过程中，比例的设置和变化一直是设计人员很疼痛的工作，一张图纸中经常需要绘制不同比例的图形以满足布图的需求，一直以来，设计人员多使用插入图块的方式来解决此类问题，随着CAD技术上的不断成熟，近年来有了外部引用等方式，但目前现行的各种绘图手段都不能完全满足设计人员正真实现在一张图中实时实现多比例绘图，更不能满足很多设计人员所希望的真正1：1绘制施工图的需求。

探索者TSSD软件以设计人员的需求为出发点，想设计人员所想，为用户提供了功能强大，操作使用方便的多比例绘图方式，能按照设计人员不同的绘图需求定制符合完全自己绘图习惯的比例设置模式，不论是固定出图比例方式中的不同绘图比例的绘图方法，还是动态调整出图比例随时实现1：1方式绘图都可以方便地实现。

探索者软件协同设计流程一、啥是探索者软件呀。

探索者软件可是个超酷的软件呢！对于咱们这些搞设计的小伙伴来说，它就像是一个超级得力的助手。

这个软件涵盖了好多功能，从结构设计到一些细节的优化，它都能搞定。

而且哦，它的协同设计功能特别棒，能让好多小伙伴一起在这个软件里干活，就像大家一起搭积木一样有趣。

二、协同设计的前期准备。

1. 团队组建。

咱们要先把参与协同设计的小伙伴们都找齐呀。

这就像是组建一个超级英雄团队，有擅长结构计算的，有精通绘图的，还有对各种规范特别了解的小伙伴。

大家来自不同的专长领域，聚在一起就为了把这个设计项目做得超级完美。

2. 软件熟悉。

在开始协同设计之前呢，大家都得对探索者软件有一定的了解。

不能有人还对软件一知半解就开始干活呀，那可就乱套了。

我们可以一起开个小会，互相分享一下自己对软件不同功能的认识，就像分享小秘密一样。

比如说，有人知道怎么快速绘制梁配筋图，有人知道怎么调整结构模型的参数最方便，把这些小技巧都分享出来，大家就都能更好地在软件里操作啦。

三、协同设计中的流程。

1. 项目框架搭建。

先由团队里对整体架构把握比较好的小伙伴来搭建项目的框架。

这就像是盖房子先打地基和搭框架一样重要。

这个框架要把整个项目的大致结构确定下来，比如有多少层楼，每层楼的功能分区大概是怎样的。

在探索者软件里，这个小伙伴就要把基本的结构模型先建立起来，设置好一些重要的参数。

其他小伙伴看到这个框架之后，就知道自己的工作要怎么开展啦。

2. 分工协作。

然后呢，就根据大家的专长来分工。

绘图厉害的小伙伴就负责把框架里的一些草图绘制得更加精细，计算大神就负责对结构进行各种计算，确保安全性和合理性。

大家在自己的小领域里努力工作，但是又要时刻和其他小伙伴保持沟通哦。

就像在一个大厨房里，每个厨师负责一道菜，但是大家也要互相交流，确保整个宴席的菜品搭配完美。

3. 实时沟通。

在协同设计过程中，沟通真的是太重要啦！我们可以利用探索者软件自带的一些沟通工具，比如说在软件里可以对某个设计元素进行批注，告诉其他小伙伴自己的想法。

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.

Display themes let you incorporate such nongraphical data by using colors, fills, or hatches to highlight objects that meet criteria you establish in a display theme style. For example, check your HVAC design calculations based on friction loss or velocity to assess performance for a particular area or room. Also use the display theme By Pressure Class to visually show the high, medium, and low pressure per piping class to more easily identify potential design flaws.Synchronized SchedulesDesigners and drafters can schedule engineering system data, calculate values, and use new table styles to lay out room and analysis schedules. Schedules are automatically updated as the design changes, assisting in the reduction of errors. Create schedules as you lay out your design, and see the schedule populate automatically, helping to save time. You can create schedules with varying levelsof detail by defining and attaching sets of properties to object styles or to individual objects and then extracting and displaying the data in a schedule table.Seamless Sections and ElevationsNo longer wait until the end of your design process to create sections and elevations, instead, quickly create them at any time. You can control the size and shape of the section you generate and assign materials to the section for an optimal visual representation of the sectioned objects. Drawing ManagementThe Drawing Management feature formalizes and automates the processes related to building system design and documentation.

Autodesk®Autodesk® Fabrication SolutionsTransition to 3D Fabrication Workflows Autodesk is committed to the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to drive integrated and connected data across the building lifecycle. Autodesk® Fabrication solutions help extend BIM workflows to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors. With help from these solutions, contractors can more quickly and easily convert 2D and 3D design-intent models into constructible, 3D detail models populated with real-world, purchasable components that can be used to accurately estimate project costs and detail MEP systems for fabrication—without wasting valuable time and resources on redrawing designs or recapturing lost data.ContentsIntroduction (3)The emergence of advanced 3D workflows (3)A unified database (4)More accurate estimates (5)Move directly into fabrication (5)Change is easy (5)IntroductionAccording to the McGraw-Hill Construction Prefabrication and Modularization SmartMarket Report (2011), prefabrication and modularization are seeing increasing popularity among design and construction professionals. Many see these practices as ways to improve worksite productivity, safety, competitive advantage, and ROI. Others value them for their ability to reduce construction waste and build greener projects. Among the hundreds of AEC professionals surveyed, the highest levels of current and future usage were reported among mechanical contractors, design-build firms, and subcontractors, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems fabricators.MEP systems detailers and fabricators are responsible for converting the design-intent models into detail-level, constructible fabrication models populated with either real-world purchasable or fabricatable components that, in turn, help enable more accurate estimates of project costs and drive MEP systems fabrication.Traditionally, detailers/fabricators received MEP design-intent drawings in one or more 2D formats, including DWG™, PDF, JPEG, and even, in some cases, paper. To convert these types of 2D drawings to a format useful for cost estimation and fabrication, contractors using traditional tools are forced to manually redraw the designs by hand—an approach that is time-consuming, often results in data loss, and ultimately produces a detailed, but still a flat, 2D design that is difficult for other disciplines to interpret properly.More recently, MEP designers and engineers have started trending toward providing 3D design-intent models produced in software such as Autodesk® Revit® or Autodesk® AutoCAD® MEP. 3D models are easier to understand than 2D drawings, but these schematic models nonetheless still lack intelligence and require time-consuming, hands-on redrawing of their generic model components into real-world, purchasable and fabricatable components.The emergence of advanced 3D workflowsThe emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) over the past decade—along with its associated advancements in trade and discipline interoperability—has caused these inefficient ways of working to begin giving way to new, more productive workflows.BIM first gained traction among architects, who gradually pushed it downstream to structural, civil, and MEP engineers. Today, BIM use is widespread in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. Project owners and government agencies around the world have begun mandating its use on projects of every size and its impact has permeated every stage of the design process—including MEP systems fabrication.Figure 1. Fabrication level detail model of HVAC systemAutodesk ® Fabrication solutions provide new tools that help MEP contractors to streamline and accelerate theirworkflows, whether they continue to work with 2D inputmodels or transition to a complete, end-to-end 3D workflow.When working with clients who continue to produce 2Ddeliverables, MEP contractors can take advantage of toolsthat allow them to significantly accelerate the manualredrawing process. These tools simultaneously incorporateboth constructability and intelligence into the redrawn models.The immediate benefits are increased productivity,coordination, and competitive advantage. In the longer term,contractors who take this approach have future-proofed their firms against the growing number of owners, governmentagencies, architects, and MEP engineers who require the use of intelligent 3D workflows. Using Autodesk Fabrication CADmep or Autodesk Fabrication ESTmep, MEP contractors who adopt an end-to-end 3D workflow can significantly reduce manual redrawing by automatically convert an incoming 3D design model into afabrication-level detailed model, swapping out the generic items for, or mapping them to specific, real-world, intelligent components with associated pricing, labor costs, performance information, and more.For example, a contractor receiving a PDF layout of the MEP systems can use Autodesk Fabrication CADmep orAutodesk Fabrication ESTmep to quickly trace over elements and create an accurate model of the systems in a fraction of the time required by remodeling from scratch. If the contractor receives a 3D model created in either Revit or AutoCAD MEP, he or she can easily convert the systems. Once the model is converted, the contractor can ensure that the systems are clash-free prior to beginning estimation and fabrication.This approach saves a tremendous amount of time and minimizes human error as it eliminates both manual redrawing and all associated data loss. The resulting fabrication model is more geometrically—and thus spatially—accurate and ready for coordination with other trades and services.A unified databaseAt the heart of the Autodesk Fabrication solutions is a single, integrated database of content and information. In traditional fabrication detailing and estimating workflows, data exists in software-specific, disconnected silos. As a result, contractors have difficulty transferring data among detail drawings, estimates, and fabrication outputs with disparate file formats from disparate software solutions. Thus, without a common database, information is commonly lost in transfer, often resulting in inaccurate cost estimates, detailing errors, and change orders. In many cases, what the contractor ends up estimating or fabricating is not what he or she originally designed.The integrated Autodesk Fabrication content libraries and database, however, are common to all three fabricationdisciplines, the detail modeling, estimating, and fabrication solutions, which:∙Support detailing, fabrication, and installation workflows ∙Create accurate, competitive bids and cost estimates ∙ Manage and control the ductwork manufacturing production lineWith a common database, when something changes in one application—drawing, estimation, or fabrication—it is reflected throughout the products, with no loss of data.Figure 3. Common database for Fabrication CADmep, ESTmep and CAMductFigure 2. Use 2D deliverables to create detail modelMore accurate estimatesIn this optimized, intelligent 3D workflow environment, library elements possess values—such as material, fabrication, and labor costs—that project estimators can easily capture. As MEP contractors add components to or remove them from the model, they are simultaneously adding or removing the costs associated with purchasing, fabricating, and installing the components. Linking components to costing helps enable MEP contractors to simultaneously create highly accurate bids that not only account for parts, but for labor as well.Move directly into fabricationOnce the contractors have submitted a bid and won a project, they can move the model created to estimate thebid directly into Autodesk Fabrication CADmep or ESTmep for further detailing, with no loss of time and data andno need to manually redraw content. Comprehensive libraries of 3D parametric fixtures and fittings helpcontractors meet manufacturing requirements.Change is easyBy adopting Autodesk Fabrication solutions, contractors can produce more accurate estimates and bids, quicklygenerate fabrication-level models, and move directly to fabrication, retaining the “I” in BIM throughout. Asdiscussed in the Prefabrication and Modularization SmartMarket Report, many MEP contractors have alreadymade the switch to intelligent, 3D fabrication workflows.Many more, however, are reluctant to make the switch, being concerned with adoption issues such as the learningcurve and loss of productivity due to lack of understanding. Fortunately, the learning curve is relatively easybecause Autodesk Fabrication CADmep is based on AutoCAD software, sharing the same interface and basic toolset. The most important part of setting up the solution involves articulating the basic rules that will govern theconversion or mapping process and setting up the mapping and costs based on your company’s standards.For example, there are two methods for exporting Revit content so that it can be used within CADmep.The first method is Store Design Line Elements. This method should be used where Revit elements can bematched to corresponding Items in CADmep. These are usually standard elements such as ducts, pipes, cabletrays, straights, and fittings. This process will convert the Revit System to a CADmep Design Line.The second method, Store Graphic Elements, should be used where no match can be made between Revitelements and CADmep Items. A custom Revit Family of an air handling unit would be an example of a Revitelement with no corresponding CADmep Item. The raw geometry of the exported Revit elements is used to createCADmep Items with the connectors at the correct locations..Autodesk, the Autodesk logo are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries.

MSF 20578-LCapitalize on MEP Fabrication Workflow : Close the Loop with Revit Detailing CustomizationSpeaker: Julien DrouetAutodeskLabs Assistant: Olivier BayleAutodeskDescriptionThis class is about the MEP Fabrication database customization:How to create new services, new items from pattern templates, and so on.The ultimate goal is to use it in Revit software, taking advantages of all new features and capabilities provided by Revit 2017 software—and figure out all the value of using Fabrication content in the detailing phase to capitalize on design, optimize construction, and save costs.This session features Revit and Fabrication CAMduct and ESTmepYour AU Expert(s)Ba sed in Autodesk, Inc.’s, Paris office in France, Julien Drouet is senior technical specialist in the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Team, focused on the construction and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) portfolio.Julien is an electrical engineer with 20 years experience in the building, engineering, and construction industry. He has beeninvolved in Autodesk’s MEP product adoption for 9 years, and he’s been in charge of the MEP Fabric ation Solutions since Autodesk’s first MEP fabrication product release.https:///in/julien-drouetVillage BIM Blog Beyond Design BlogOlivier Bayle has over 19 years experience in structural design, in a variety of fields ranging from simple construction schemes to highly technical engineering projects.Prior to coming to Autodesk (Robobat company acquisition), Olivier worked as civil engineer in steel, concrete and timber design.At Autodesk, Olivier has further engaged clients with BIM solutions, workflow integration and developing best practices in 3D visualizations, clash/collision detection and 5D construction simulations.Currently, he is one of writer of Village BIM Blog .Olivier holds a Graduate civil engineer from Clermont Ferrand – Francehttps:///in/olivier-bayleVillage BIM BlogCreate a new ItemLet’s start with choosing the item we want to create.The one we will create from scratch is providing by the Manufacturer ELKHART Product Corporation. The imperial database contains already most of the copper soldered content library Elkhart is currently selling.We can notice that the N° 111R Reduced T ee item doesn’t exist in the current database. We will focus on it.Identify the Manufacturer DataOn Elkhart’s website, we will get the information needed to create the item.Information required are:∙Lay in dimensions :∙Description∙Weight∙Code∙dimensions∙Pricelist∙PictureIdentify the pattern template to be usedIn Autodesk Fabrication solutions, new items have to be created from an item pattern template. So you need to identify which pattern template (CID) you will use to create the item you want to. To do so, go in the help and navigate to“Fabrication User’s Guide Help→ Creating Content→Before you Begin CreatingContent→Common Pattern Numbers and select pipeworkWe want to create a Reducing Tee:We will use CID 2160.Start creating the itemNow we have the manufacturer data, and the CID to use, let’s start to create the item CAMduct consoleLaunch CAMduct, and open a blank Job (it could be done with ESTmep as well).To create a new item from a pattern template, we have to launch the CAMduct console. To do so, maintain CTRL + Shift and type CType the following command: MAKEPAT 2160It opens the following takeoff window:Click on “accept” in the bottom right corner. Browse in the folders to the one where you want to save your item, give him a name and click on SaveCustomize the thumbnailNext step will be to customize the thumbnail displayed in the item folder.First you have to save the thumbnail in the appropriate folder.In the dataset folder, copy the file “111R.png”Then go to:C:/Users/Public/Documents/Autodesk/Fabrication 2017/Imperial Content/V3.04/ITEMS/ImperialContent/Mechanical/Systems/Elkhart/Soldered/Wrot Copper/Paste the file “111R.png”.Rename it with the same name as the ITM file you’ve created a couple of minutes ago. Here, rename it like this: “No111R - Reducing Tee.png”As the system already created a png file with this name, you will be asked to save it as “No111R - Reducing Tee (2).png”. Do it.Then, go in the Item Folders, select the new item you’ve just created, right click and select “properties”.In the pattern template tab, click on the “Change” but tonSelect the No111R - Reducing Tee (2).png and save.Create a product listSelect the item and right click: create a product list. Close the product list windows and click on “accept. Select the file in the list and saveSet the optionsNow we will set the common options, those that doesn’t depend on the item dimension. Right click on the item and select “Edit”On the Dimension tab:Set “Left” and “Right Extension” on auto and lock the padlockSet the Angle #1 to 90. And lock.Lock “Offset #1” to 0Set “Extension #1” on “auto” and lockSet from “Branch diameter #2” to “Extension #2” on 0 and lockClick on “redraw”.It should look like this:On the Item tab:Set material on Copper and Standard on ASTM B88 (Elkhart).To know how to create a new material, click here.Don’t forget to check the “Centreline Input box.Set the connectorsNew Connectors Creation is described in this Autodesk Fabrication Help chapter In our case, we will use existing connectors and set them to our item.To do so, l et’s go in the connectors tab.We have 3 connectors to set: C1, C2 and C3For the example we are working on, we will use the same connector:ELK_C-WCU. You can find it in the drop down list, in Elkhart group.Set each connector on ELK_C-WCU and lock themFill the listFor the next step we will fill the product list.Open the excel spreadsheet with manufacturer product information“111R_Reducing_Tee_Wrot_Lay_In_Dimensions.xlsx”We have to understand the manufacturer drawing and match the dimensions provided with those of the pattern template.Pipe diameter is the pipe size that will connect from the left to the Tee. So it is the 1st size indicated in the descriptionRight diameter is the pipe size that will connect from the right to the Tee. So it is the 2nd size indicated in the descriptionBranch diameter is the pipe size that will connect from the top to the Tee. So it is the 3rd size indicated in the description“A” from the Manufacturer drawing is the Inset #1“A+B” from the Manufacturer drawing is “pipe length + right length”“C” from the Manufacturer drawing is Branch Length #1“Pipe length” is “A” from the manufacturer + ½ branch diameter“Right length" is “A+B-pipe length = A+B-A-½ branch diameter = B-½ branch diameter Reopen the product list windowWe will first create the columns needed.Click on the new buttonClick ok.Then redo it and enter the following column:We will add new columns, that won’t be dimensions. To do so, re-click on the new column buttonSelect Weight, Order and IdManuallyLet’s fill the first line manually.Click ok and have a look on the geometry:By copy and paste an excel fileTo save maximum of time, the best is to prepare the excel spreadsheet that will fit with the product list in CAMduct.In our case, it would mean add columns for pipes sizes, set format value to number, remove columns unnecessary, add missing one (Id) and move it to fit with the product list organizationIt will look like this:The final Excel document is available in the dataset, open it:111R_Reducing_Tee_Wrot_Lay_In_Dimensions_reorganised_and_filled.xlsxWe are now able to copy and paste the spreadsheet content into the product listTo proceed, first select the cells in ExcelThen right click once here:It’s done:Click ok.Test the itemYou can now have access to the different references you’ve just create, through the drop down menu near Catalogue:Test with different references, click on accept to save the modificationsCreate the New ServiceTo use the new item we’ve just created, we have to create a new service to put it in.Let’s launch ESTmep for that.Select the Service from which you will startIn ESTmep, create a blank job and click on the database button.Click on the takeoff button and on the left hand side, select ServicesThe item is a copper Tee, which can be used for Sanitary Hot Water for instance. Let’s select the existing Hot Water Flow Service, and click on New.Answer yes to the question. Change the name of the Service.Create the Service template you will useThe new service created is using the same Service template as the Hot Water Flow. If we don’t want to modify the way the existing service is working, we have to create a new Service Template to apply to our new Service.Click on the New Service template button:Adjust the Service templateRename the new template, for instance “Mechanical - Elkhart-Copper-Soldered/Victaulic-Grooved-Copper_v1”Delete the existing button in the soldered tab, except the straight oneBrowse the Item Folders to Elkhart folder, and drag and drop the “Wrot Copper” folder to the soldered tab on the right hand sideYou can see your item creation in the list of items available in the Service. Click on ok (twice)Test it with ESTmepNow let’s test the new service in ESTmep, and especially the new item we’ve created. On the left hand side, select the service. Click on the straight pipe, choose 1” diameter. Then connect an elbow, a pipe and insert your Tee. You have to right click on your Teebutton, select “takeoff as a cut in”, and choose a relevant size (e.g. 1x1x1/2). Then connect a pipe on the branch.Now go to the Item tab, r ight click on your tee and select “cost breakdown”All values are equal to zero. It’s because you didn’t map your item product list with the manufacturer pricelist.Click on the database button, then on Costing button and select pricelist. In the supplier Group, select Elkhart and then click on the N ew Pricelist button and chose “New empty table”Name the pricelist “AU Class Elkhart Pricelist”Open the Excel “111R_Reducing_Tee_Wrot_pricelist.xls x” file (combination of“111R_Reducing_Tee_Wrot_Lay_In_Dimensions_reorganised_and_filled.xlsx” and “plist_WROT.xls”.Select all the filled cells and copy. In ESTmep, right click in the green area and pastMap Field Id on Use 1 and Field Cost on Use 2, as below:Here is the result:Click OkBack in the Items tab, reselect your Tee, and right click, properties.Select the costing tab, and in the “M-Rate”dropdown menu select the pricelist you’ve just createdBack in the costbreakdown: you have now the price for your Tee:Use in RevitLet’s move to Revit now.Open “56750_M_Systems - 2017 - Start.rvt” and open the 3D Plumbing view.In the MEP Fabrication Part Palette, click on Settings. Reload configuration and add the new service we’ve created.Conversion toolNow we will use the nice conversion feature launched with Revit 2017.Revit pipework selectionSelect the full hot water system. Clic k on “Design to fabrication” button”. Choose “Hot Water Flow” service and then OkThe full hot water system has been converted into a fabrication service. Select thelongest straight pipe and click on “Optimize length”.Select the full service and isolate it:Then export the fabrication elements you’ve just converted, with the add-ins tool “Revit Extension for Fabrication”Then undo the conversionReselect the hot water system, and convert it in the new service we created “AU Class Hot Water”:You get a warning message:Fittings weren’t recognized, only straight pipes have been converted.To fix this issue, back in ESTmep and go to the service template settings, and right click on a button, an elbow for instance and select “button properties”:The field “Button Code” is empty. The button code is used by the Design Line technology to map nodes definition with compatible fittings. This technology is used by Revit as well in the conversion process. So we need to put the right button code for each fittings that will be used in Revit.For this elbow, the code is “Bend”Fill the button code for our reduced Tee, with code “RedILTee” and the equal Tees with code “RedBranch-90”.Click on ok to save the modifications.Back in Revit, undo the design to fabrication conversion.Reload the MEP Fabrication configuration to load the Database modifications in yourRevit project.Reselect the hot water system, a nd convert it in the new service we created “AU Class Hot Water”. You don’t have the message, the conversion process worked.Optimize length, reselect the full service and export it in a different name thanpreviously.Export & comparisonWhy did we convert the hot water system twice?Actually, the goal was to emphasize the optimization introduced by the presence of a Reducing Tee in the 2nd service. Number of parts exported is a first clue.To verify this optimization, let’s compare the 2 jobs we’ve created in ESTmep.Launch ESTmep and open the first Job, containing 84 parts.Click on “Estimated Summary.Now close the job and open the 2nd job, obtained with our service.Click once again on Estimating summary:Using our New Se rvice “AU Class Hot Water” saved 17.7% of moneyEnd。

1. 平台接口1.1 PDMS接口1.1.1 PDMS插件的启动及界面PDMS插件不需要单独的启动命令。

如果正确安装配置了插件，则在PDMS的Design模块打开时会自动加载并启动插件。

默认情况下，在Design模块的工具栏内，会出现插件的一个工具条，上面有若干功能按钮，如下图所示。

图1-1 PDMS插件主界面1.1.2 设置工作空间及缓存清除如果是第一次启动PDMS插件，则需要设置工作空间。

点击左数第一个按钮(悬浮于其上提示“从计算机上选择当前的工作路径”)即可设置工作空间，使用插件工程中必要的缓存文件会自动存放在该工作空间路径下。

同样如果需要清除缓存空间中的临时文件和软件运行中在计算机内存中建立的缓存，需要点击左数第二个按钮（鼠标悬浮与其上提示“清理工作空间及内存”）来刷新工作空间。

一般在对不同的模型操作之前需要刷新工作空间；在对同一模型文件进行导入导出及节点查看时不可刷新工作空间。

1.1.3 导入模型到PDMS如果需要将模型导入到PDMS中，需要点击左数第三个按钮，鼠标悬浮于时提示“导入”。

导入过程的第一步是选择模型文件和设置模型插入方位。

模型文件的后缀为.tsstruct，是由平台软件生成的，内有构件或节点零件数据信息。

插入方位设置包括XYZ方向偏移以及绕Z轴旋转角度，按照通用的“先转后偏”的规则进行操作。

图1-2导入设置界面导入过程的第二步是进行构件过滤。

可按需要进行层高过滤和构件类型过滤。

如果选择了“导入轴网”则会交互式删除或保留现有轴网，并加入模型中的轴网。

导入过程的第一步是选择模型文件与截面文件。

模型文件的后缀为.tsstruct，是由平台软件生成的，内有构件或节点零件数据信息。

截面文件用于将构件的截面成功地映射到PDMS中截面库内的截面。

如果安装过定制的补丁包，则会自动选择好匹配文件。

图1-3 模型匹配选择模型后，还需要设定一些导入设置项。

包括需要导入的内容：是否导入附属构件（楼梯、栏杆等）、是否导入轴线、工程前缀（PDMS的一个工程中不允许出现同名，因此需要设定一个工程前缀）、插入方位（插入点和旋转角度）。
