Synopsis:

Note: This book is continued in Autodesk® Revit® 2023: Fundamentals for MEP - Part 2. Both books are required to complete this guide.

To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk® Revit® 2023: Fundamentals for MEP guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP systems from engineering design through construction documentation.

This guide is intended to introduce users to the user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make Autodesk Revit a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The guide will also familiarize users with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take users through the basics of a full MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents.

Topics Covered in Part 1

• Introduction to the Autodesk Revit software.
• Navigating the Revit workspace and interface.
• Working with the basic sketching and modifying tools.
• Creating levels and grids as datum elements for the model.
• Understanding Revit families and components.
• Understanding the project browser and working with views.
• Starting an MEP project based on a linked architectural model.
• Creating spaces and zones so that you can analyze heating and cooling loads.
• Creating HVAC networks with air terminals, mechanical equipment, ducts, and pipes.
• Creating plumbing networks with plumbing fixtures and pipes.
• Creating electrical circuits with electrical equipment, devices, and light fixtures and adding cable trays and conduits.
• Creating HVAC and plumbing systems with automatic duct and piping layouts.
• Testing duct, piping and electrical systems.

Prerequisites

• Access to the 2023.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2022).
• This guide introduces the fundamental skills you need to learn the Autodesk Revit MEP software. It is highly recommended that users have experience and knowledge in MEP engineering and its terminology.
• It is recommended that users have a standard three-button mouse to successfully complete the practices in this guide.
