Provide confidence to the Detailer within Construction firms that what is modelled can be fabricated, procured, and installed. Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

MEP Fabrication | First Steps Focused on model creation, creating a new detail oriented foundation +

MEP | LOD 400 Features + Functionality

Detail oriented tools allow system optimization, reducing time and cost of installation Design 8 Fittings Construction 3 Fittings

Utilize Autodesk Fabrication MEP Content  Customers utilize investment in Autodesk Fabrication MEP Content (CADmep, CAMduct, ESTmep)  Use Fabrication Configuration data within Revit projects  Autodesk provided sample Configuration.  Model using Services and ITM based content* (* some exclusions) Extend investment in Autodesk Fabrication MEP solutions | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Specification Driven  Specification defines applicable materials  Sets segment length  Controls fitting & segment end connectors Model ductwork based on shop standards | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Detailed Fitting Properties  Template based parts allow detailed control of dimensional values  Connector settings provide ability to configure end conditions Increased detail + control | Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Catalog Part Lists  Product Entry lists product sizes ensure that modelled components reflect dimensionally realistic parts Defined parts conform to real sizes | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Insulation Specifications  Defines insulation thickness and material based on fitting / segment size  Insulation Specification inherits from connected element Simplifies application of insulation | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Specification Driven Straight Optimization  Breaks selected segments into standard lengths Edited segments updatable to match shop standards | MEP Fabrication Detailing

Fittings inserted based on size condition  Fittings insert based on size range conditions as defined within the Service Fitting application based on definable rules | MEP Fabrication Detailing

Smart Snapping and Help Tooltip  Smart Snapping makes it easier to place elements by increasing the snap diameter.  The help tooltip provides new user assistance with keyboard control details Simplified placement and tips for learnability | MEP Fabrication Detailing + =

Modification Controls  Rotate part to orient part 45 or 90 degrees  Toggle connector to reposition connected end of fitting In canvas manipulation or from ribbon | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Couplings and Welds  Couplings automatically insert as defined in the Service  Couplings are removed automatically when connected elements are removed Detailed connector definitions facilitate insertion | MEP Fabrication Detailing

Connect to Revit Families  Connect to equipment and air terminal families  Utilize Revit flex duct/pipe Create models utilizing design intent end of line components | MEP Fabrication Detailing

Tap Placement  Tap fittings may be placed along straight segments  Snap to the centreline of the main  Spacebar rotates the tap around the segment (left, top, bottom, right), SHIFT+Spacebar changes the tap orientation  To reposition on another segment, drag away, and re-snap to the centreline | MEP Fabrication Detailing + Tap placement and orientation during insertion

| MEP Fabrication Detailing Hanger Elements  Hanger placement along fabrication segments  Sized automatically  Attach and adjust to architectural and structural elements in linked models Coordinate detailed fabrication model with supporting elements Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Electrical Component Support  Fabrication pattern support for  Cable Tray  Wire ways  Bus Multiple discipline to support detailed model coordination | MEP Fabrication Detailing

CADmep, ESTmep, or CAMduct required for content authoring and configuration modification | MEP Fabrication Detailing Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies

Detailed modeling… … to EST + CAM output

 Demonstrating commitment to detailed needs of construction user  Fabrication (ITM) Content + Rules  Connected Experience with Fabrication products | MEP Fabrication Detailing | Positioning Autodesk Confidential Information – NDA Applies Detailed coordination modelling focus. + “Nothing matters if we can't model it. Other workarounds may not be ideal or efficient, but multiple modeling platforms are what we want to avoid the most.”
