Revit MEP Training

Courseware description

This courseware covers the basics of the Revit MEP, from schematic design through construction documentation. Participants are introduced to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric design and documentation.

Course Objectives

After completing this class, you will be able to:

• Describe Building Information Modeling methodology.
• Use the different parts of the Revit MEP user interface and work with different types of Revit elements and families.
• Manage the different views and change their properties, control the visibility and appearance of elements in different views, and work with the section, elevation, and 3D views.
• Set up a project using different templates, link Revit models, share projects using worksheets, define discipline settings, and import and edit DWG details.
• Create spaces and zones in a Revit model.
• Analyze an analytical model for conducting a building performance analysis, define heating and cooling loads information, and calculate heating and cooling loads.
• Create HVAC systems, generate HVAC system layouts, and create and modify ductwork using Revit MEP tools.
• Layout and create piping and plumbing systems.
• Create electrical circuits, wiring, and conduit layouts.
• Monitor changes in files of other disciplines linked to Revit MEP and check and fix interference conditions.
• Work with call out, detail, and drafting views.
• Work with text and tags, dimensions, legends, and schedules.
• Add title blocks to a sheet, update the project information in a title block, and work with sheets.
• Create an architectural model suitable for use as a background for engineering layouts.
• Use architectural drawings and projects as a background for engineering layouts

Who Should Attend

The courseware is designed for any user of Revit MEP

Prerequisites

No previous CAD experience is necessary. However, Architectural design, drafting, or engineering experience is useful. Participants should have an understanding of the common computer programs like Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 7.
