Assigning System Types to MEP Fabrication Parts

Shows step-by-step how to prepare MEP fabrication parts for the Air Duct Network Calculation by assigning the system type to the LIN_FABRICATION_SYSTEM parameter.

Before you begin

You want to prepare the MEP fabrication parts for using them in the air duct network calculation.

Requirements:

You have designed an air duct network that includes MEP fabrication parts. In addition, you have activated the LIN_FABRICATION_SYSTEM parameter in the parameter management for MEP fabrication parts.

Navigate to:

Air duct componentRevit ribbonEdit tabProperties

Fabrication parameter Linear Revit

Procedure

  1. Select the MEP fabrication part to which you want to assign a system type, e.g. a ventilation pipe.
  2. Enter the system type as an attribute in the field of the LIN_FABRICATION_SYSTEM parameter, e.g. L_exhaust air.
    Note: The system types of the current project for the discipline Ventilation can be found in the dialog System classes.
    Fabrication parameter Linear Revit

Results

You have assigned the system type L_exhaust air to the parameter LIN_FABRICATION_SYSTEM. After you have assigned a system type to all MEP fabrication parts, you can calculate the mesh.
