Revit MEP

DFTG 2009 TRAINING CENTER

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

Topics Covered
•• Working with the Autodesk Revit software’s basic viewing, drawing, and editing
commands.
•• Inserting and connecting MEP components and using the System Browser.
•• Working with linked Revit files and CAD files.
•• 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 lighting fixtures
and adding cable trays and conduits.
•• Creating HVAC and plumbing systems with automatic duct and piping layouts.
•• Testing duct, piping and electrical systems.
•• Creating and annotating construction documents.
•• Adding tags and creating schedules.
•• Detailing in the Autodesk Revit software.
