thanks for the videos they are awesome but i have a question how did you classify the Medical Gas Zone Box - the category and family parameters . thank you
Just came across this channel and I’m gladly surprised about the content. There’s a lot of great stuff ! Do you use the fabrication pieces from REVIT at all just stick to the normal routings and pieces ?
On the MEP Consulting world, the priority is fitting behavior =). The reality is that, as long as you go "slightly safe" as far as fitting required space, we typically provide a spec book outlining the exact fitting to be used. So, time is saved and the project gets what it needs too =)
@@alexandersolsilva6202 I’m aware of that. Usually contract dwgs have shitty fittings and are very poorly drafted as well. That’s why I was asking the owner of the channel if he uses the fabrication pieces or just stick to the generic routing that comes with REVIT, because it seems like he cares about how his fittings look like. Most likely he’s on the subcontractor or gc side
@@viniciusbraga5846 Hi Vinicius. I typically don't get into fabrication pieces since I'm on the consulting side, I typically don't price, and I don't install. But most importantly, usually, when you start getting into the fabrication environment, you loose a lot of the engineering/calculation capabilities that you originally had. Have a nice week!
I automate a few things with Revit, like Total flow and critical pipe route (longest run), but diversity, I take manually depending on each condition (type of rooms, # of outlets, submain or main, etc.). Then use that to calculate pressure drop using tables and compare with the maximum allowable pressure drop to size. I hope it helps! Medical Gasses is way harder than any other cumulative flow (like HVAC CFM or storm GPM)
Hi, I'm having an issue with the height parameter in my drawing. On the front tab, when I modify the family type's height, the change is reflected. However, when I make the same adjustment in the 3D view, the element doesn't elongate as expected. The height parameter on the front tab remains updated. Could this be a software bug? Thank you
@@bimitup Yes, that's right. Thank you very much. I hope you'll make another video about drawing a ball valve to control the gas supply to patient rooms.
What a great explanation, so clear and professional, thanks so much Alex
Agree, soooo well done =)
I'm glad it helped you. =)
Nice level of detail
Right? =)
Sometimes it is worth investing the time and be able to claim that righteous space the equipment "deserves" lol
Great! video Alex,
As usual, very informative and useful. Watching your videos really saves us a lot of time in our Revit design.
I'm happy to hear it was helpful Joel. Cheers!
Great video Alex!
Agree 😜
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for another great video!
You are welcome Vanessa. Stay tuned for more good stuff =)
thanks for the videos they are awesome but i have a question how did you classify the Medical Gas Zone Box - the category and family parameters . thank you
You are welcome.
I classify them as mechanical equipment.
Most family parameters are instance =)

Dou you acutally use revit for calculations like flow / pipesizing? (I mean medical gases ofc)

@@bimitup I see, thanks for answer. Is there any chance, you would make a video in the future, where you share the whole process?
Maybe. Stay tuned.

It was a simple mistake. I forgot to apply the AL command to the top plane and top face. Thanks for your assistance
Make sure you lock your faces to your reference planes =)
Glad you figured it out. Congratulations. That's a useful family =)

@@thanhtaiho1759 Maybe soon. Stay tuned.
