My company was forced to get into Revit MEP due to a major client demand. The learning curve has been brutal but MEP Guy has been one of my top go-to sources for real-world information, as well as the undocumented tips, tricks, and work-arounds so critical for making Revit do what we need it to. His videos are understandable and to-the-point. (no pointless tangents and rants). His content is useful and best of all, it actually works!
Your videos are always clear, concise & professional. I'm retired and not a plumber but learned alot from you. Unfortunately, i can't afford classes, so i'll take advantage of your free 101 course. Thanks!
A significant amount of technical knowledge has been condensed into an understandable and well-structured presentation by you. I've already covered a lot of ground with Revit, and this video recaps everything. This video is a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about plumbing design in Revit. 👍
Thank you for all these helpful videos its always clear and professional, hoping to learn more on creating smart MEP families also see some HVAC related topics.
We plan to do more HVAC videos in the near future. My team has just finished building some amazing MEP families that were going to be showcasing next year in our brand new MEP template.
For the next video I would like to see how these elements can then be scheduled - can go into how to modify the schedule, including model numbers, descriptions, etc.
Awesome video! Can you do a video on single family residential plumbing or HVAC? I need some guidance on what basic families to use and how I can schedule quantities of pipe and elbows.
Man, your tuition is incredible! Unfortunately, in Egypt, we're restricted from engaging with foreign currency credits, which limits my ability to purchase any of your amazing courses.
Unfortunately I don't have a model for 2023. I decided to use 2024 since that was the most recent I had at the time of recording. You can download 2024 on autodesk's website if you have a subscription.
Great video! Thank you for sharing and keep posting more like these please! I'll appreciate if you could send me your free first course "Plumbing 101". It'll be nice if you could cover a topic on HVAC modeling (Air Conditioning ducts, including split units, fan coil units, air handling units, etc.).
I downloaded the Revit model you linked to and it isn't named "ZURN BATHROOM.rvt" but rather "Zurn Plumbin Model.rvt". If I go ahead and link it in, it doesn't look the same as in your video. There are no walls, and everything is already piped up, cold and hot water, sanitary drains and vents, etc. I also get a message saying the "nested links will not appear because their Reference Typer is set to Overlay" and to change the Reference Type to Attachment. Doing so doesn't change anything visually. Any idea what the issue is?
Hey there! I accidentally put the plumbing model in the folder and forgot to add the Architectural Model. Try re-downloading the file and they should be both in there. When following along, you'll want to start a new project from scratch. Go to file, new, and start with either the plumbing default template or use the systems imperial template.

Absolutely!!
Man, your tuition is incredible! Unfortunately, in Egypt, we're restricted from engaging with foreign currency credits, which limits my ability to purchase any of your amazing courses.
Well there are a lot of free videos on RUclips so hopefully you can learn for free!
Great practice, thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you for the content. Unfortunatly i have revit 2020 version. I downloaded the files but couldnt open them.
Sorry, I did use Revit 2024. Hopefully you can get the new version and use it!
I like your videos. Can you cover what makes a good Revit MEP family? That way when we make families we can pay attention to important elements.
That's a good topic! I did talk about families a little on the BIM Pure Podcast. Make sure to check that video out as well!
Thanks
Sir how to adjust the outline of duct and Air Terminals?
Should be under the system's graphic overrides similar to how I changed the sanitary color towards the end of the video.
Is there a version below the latest year for architectural projects? maybe for revit 2023.
Unfortunately I don't have a model for 2023. I decided to use 2024 since that was the most recent I had at the time of recording. You can download 2024 on autodesk's website if you have a subscription.
Sir please cover a topic on how to connect a duct riser accurately by level to level.
I can do that!
i would like to see an electrical systems and view ranges.
Make sure to check out my partner Jon's youtube channel. It's called "The Electrical Department".
Great video! Thank you for sharing and keep posting more like these please! I'll appreciate if you could send me your free first course "Plumbing 101". It'll be nice if you could cover a topic on HVAC modeling (Air Conditioning ducts, including split units, fan coil units, air handling units, etc.).
Thanks, I'll keep making more videos just like this!
thanks man
if u please drawing duct in revit from autocad drawing and hot and cold water
I'll add that to the list of things to cover. Thanks for the suggestion!
good job
Thanks!
Is the template and families available in Metric?
Unfortunately no.
Is downloading the families free?!
Yep all families are downloaded at zurn.com
How much can HVAC/Plumbing designer earn in USA ?
Starting out probably around 70k then about 90k with 5-7 years of experience and all the way up to 120-150k for a plumbing engineer with a PE.
@@mep_guy per month or year ? thank you very much for your time given us

Unfortunately I don't have previous versions available.
