Explore general Revit items across disciplines to lay the groundwork for HVAC work, covering templates and essential interface items.
Discover how Revit supports the BIM process across architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical disciplines, enabling cloud-based collaboration and precise 2D/3D modeling for project schedules.
Trace Revit's history from 2000 to Revit one box and post-2015 unified version, compare Revit Lite and the full version for MEP, and outline a two-month, step-by-step HVAC learning plan.
Explore the Revit home window, navigating models and families across two segments, and learn to open and create projects, work with templates, and access Autodesk docs and my insights.
Explore Revit formats including RGB project format, R, RFT templates for families, and RFA family files, and learn to set default templates, libraries, and network paths for HVAC mechanical workflows.
Explore the Revit user interface, from creating a new project with templates to using the quick access toolbar and managing merge windows, auto-hide options, the properties window, and project browser.
Learn to use the Revit MEP interface: activate the option bar for selected items, manage the project browser and system browser, and master viewport navigation, zoom, orbit, and tile views.
Explore modifying tools in Revit to align, lock, move, copy, rotate, and trim hvac components. Use base points, multiple alignments, and automatic fittings for ducts and pipes.
Use offset to create parallel copies with graphical or numerical distance, then mirror, split, or array elements along axis and gaps for precise spacing.
Explore radial and linear arrays to place air terminals on curved walls with center-based rotation, and learn 2D vs 3D scale behavior and pinning to prevent movement in Revit.
Master Revit view control bar, including scale behavior on annotative elements and detail level options, and use section boxes, thin lines, and visual styles to manage 2D and 3D views.
Adjust and manage crop regions to define work plane boundaries, control visibility with temporary hide, isolate, and category filters, and learn to unload or reload linked files for HVAC projects.
Create a new Revit project, activate levels in views, set elevation codes from zero, and manage level naming and browser organization to sort by elevation.
Learn to manage levels and reference levels in Revit MEP HVAC, enabling floor plan visibility, plan view control, and hypothetical elevation codes to place ducts and equipment.
Learn to build a Revit MEP model with level setup, walls, doors, and windows, and manage discipline visibility in a 3D coordination view while editing wall types and finishes.
Load families from furniture and mechanical folders, place them, rotate with space, and build floors, ceilings including false ceilings, and host-based air terminals in 3d view.
Learn how linking and collaboration in Revit support hvac workflows with 2D, review, Revit, and Navisworks files, and understand limitations like not joining elements and room bounding for naming consistency.
Learn how Revit retains dimensions when unloading and reloading linked files and how multiple linked files yield unique parameters. Explore visibility graphics settings, underlay, and copying link files between projects.
Explore how linked files and nested links behave in Revit, managing overlay vs attach references for architectural and structural files, and use visibility tools to coordinate disciplines.
Link architectural and structural models in Revit, align them with a common basepoint and project basepoint, and manage visibility to ensure accurate 3D coordination.
Manage linked files in Revit MEP HVAC using the manage link window to load, unload, reload, and rename links, and compare relative versus absolute paths for loading behavior.
Explore visibility and graphics settings in revit links to manage linked files. Use halftone, underlay, and by host view or by link view to control levels, grids, and edges.
Learn to manage linked files in Revit with display settings and custom visibility, including annotative elements and color coding of structural columns and beams for optimized MEP HVAC views.
Explore using Revit links display settings and view filters to categorize and color-code elements by parameters in linked files. Understand visibility graphics, view range, and phasing.
Explore how to use Revit phasing to define a construction order—from foundation to beams and walls—using faces and face filters to show the complete sequence.
Explore how to control detail levels and color fields, manage display settings, and apply object styles across host and linked files in Revit MEP HVAC, including nested links.
Explore IFC formats and how exporting an IFC output from Tekla and linking it in Revit enables BIM coordination across disciplines, contrasting closed beam and IFC linked workflows.
Explore working with IFC linked files in Revit, manage IFC settings, adjust visibility and graphics, map IFC parameters automatically, and align views while exporting and organizing linked models.
Learn to link a CAD file in Revit, set metric units, purge extraneous lines, define a base point, and reload updates for cross-system work while managing layers and file naming.
Note: The main difference in this course compared to others is that we have not confined ourselves to explaining simple techniques. Instead, we have conveyed the subject through challenging projects and specific tricks, which are the result of numerous experiences.
