Revit MEP 2016 Pipe Layout for Fabrication


Autodesk Revit 2016 Revit now allows you to add fabrication level detail to pipe systems using content from Autodesk Fabrication products.

Procured parts, such as pipe fittings are constrained to realistic dimensions based on their content definitions known as product listed parts, and represent components that may be purchased.

When you add a coupling like a flange at the end of a pipe for a welded pipe system, Revit MEP 2016 will automatically add another flange when you add a fitting like an elbow.

Flanges are automatically added when a flanged valve is inserted.  When adding a pipe to the valve, a flange will be added to the end to properly connect to the valve.

Use Revit tools like copy to quickly and easily add similar components with the ability to rotate them upon placement or after.  After placing a straight segment, you can use the Properties palette to change the length of pipe. 

The fabrication content also includes hangers for pipe that will automatically size and extend to supporting elements to linked models.  When used the hangers extend to the beam in the linked structural model.  Adjusting the pipe elevation will automatically adjust the rod length.

Revit MEP 2016 – Part Optimization for Fabrication


Autodesk Revit 2016 uses the Autodesk Fabrication MEP configuration data defined in the *.ITM template parts in the current version of Autodesk Fabrication products CADmep and ESTmep.

The Duct Part Editor enables you more detailed control over the duct components and allows you to define detailed dimensions of the part and its connectors.

When placing fabrication parts in Revit 2016, the specifications defined in the Fabrication Configuration define what duct materials may be used.


The specification also controls material gauge (weight), the standard segment lengths, and the connectors applied to the fitting ends.

The *.ITM Template based parts enable detailed control of dimensional values.  The connector settings provide you with the ability to configure end conditions.

Revit 2016-Duct Part Editor for Fabrication


Autodesk Revit 2016 uses the Autodesk Fabrication MEP configuration data defined in the current version of Autodesk Fabrication products CADmep, ESTmep, CAMduct.

The Duct Part Editor enables you more detailed control over the duct components and allows you to define detailed dimensions of the part and its connectors.

Place fabrication parts for the selected service. -- Use the MEP Fabrication Parts palette to select a service and place fabrication parts in the drawing area. If no parts are listed in the browser, click Settings to open the Fabrication Settings dialog and load content into the MEP Fabrication Parts palette.


Edit a fabrication part to define the necessary dimensional values and connector settings. -- The Edit Part tool opens the Edit Part dialog. Use this dialog to edit dimensions and connectors for a fabrication part.

Revit 2016-Autodesk MEP Content For Fabrication


Autodesk Revit 2016 uses the Autodesk Fabrication MEP configuration data defined in the current version of Autodesk Fabrication products CADmep, ESTmep, CAMduct.

Services from the configuration are added to the Revit project and are organized into groups as defined in the Autodesk Fabrication MEP products.

ITM components within the Services are inserted from the Revit MEP Fabrication Part browser.

Fabrication components provide detailed connection definitions, more granular control on fitting definitions, and standardized segment lengths, leading to more accurate lengths, quantities, and coordination.  Modeling with these components in Revit provides detailers in construction firms’ greater certainty that the model accurately reflects the intended installation.

Using the fabrication content on the MEP Fabrication Parts palette, you can add the components by selecting them and using the Smart Snapping tool easily connect to mechanical equipment.
