Join Eric Wing for an in-depth discussion in this video Modeling mains, part of Revit 2017 Essential Training: MEP (Metric).
- [Voiceover] I want to model some mains.…But before I do that, I want to look at…how to create a brand new pipe system.…I want to go to Ceiling Plan, 1 - Ceiling Sprinkler.…Now on my Systems tab,…I'm gonna click on my Pipe button.…Now I have Pipe Types Standard.…I'm gonna click on Edit Type.…I'm gonna duplicate this…and I'm gonna call it Threaded.…I'm gonna click OK.…
Now, I want to dig into my Routing Preferences…so I'm gonna click on Edit.…Now, I'm gonna change a couple things here,…but then we're gonna load a bunch of families from here.…My Pipe Segment, I'm gonna click the drop-down.…I'm gonna scroll to the bottom…and I'm gonna go with steel carbon.…My minimum size is 15 millimeters.…My maximum size, I'm gonna hit my drop-down,…I'm gonna crank it up to 600 millimeters.…Now what I want to do is click on Load Family.…I'm gonna go to Pipe.…I'm gonna go to Fittings.…
I'm gonna go to Malleable Iron,…Class 150,…Threaded.…I'm gonna hit Control + A.…I want to load up all of these.…I'm not sure which ones I need.…But if something's not working,…
