You can install the library by following this Knowledge Base.

While you are waiting for the next tutorial, you might want to install US Metric library that we use in this tutorial. We will add sanitary equipment in the next tutorial. You should see the architecture model in your project now. In Link panel, click Link Revit.Ĭhoose the arc plan.rvt you downloaded earlier then click open. To link the architecture model, go to Insert tab. When the architect makes changes, you will see the changes in your model as well. Linking an architecture model will show the latest design in the architecture model. The next step is to link the architecture model to our MEP model. You should see the views for MEP models are created as below. Now we have a new MEP project to start the tutorial.Įxamine the Project Browser. This is the template provided by Autodesk for an MEP project. If you don’t have that template on your computer, you can download it from this link. Navigate to the project template folder, choose file Systems-Default_Metric.rte. In the new project template file, click Browse… button. Alternatively, you can access it from Application Menu> New> Project. In the start page, click New… under Projects category. Let’s start by creating a new MEP project. Download and save it in your tutorial folder. You can download the architecture model here. I have prepared a simple architecture model to use in this tutorial. So we don’t open the architecture project and work in it. Architects can continue working with their own file, and MEP engineers can work with their own file. It is a good practice to have a separate file for MEP project. We will create a new project, then link the architecture model to our project. That’s why in this tutorial we don’t create a new architecture model from scratch. MEP engineers usually use a building model from the architects. Or probably respond to you so that you can get the answer faster. I might not respond if you contact me directly. If you ask in the comment section, other readers who have a similar question can also read the answer. If you have some questions about the tutorial, please ask in the comment section.

If you want to use the exercise files, you will need to use the same version.

And the version that I use to make this tutorial is Revit 2017. Because you don’t use the measurement often. This tutorial is in metric, but it shouldn’t be a problem. I will guide each step you need to do to complete the tutorial. This tutorial series is for basic, so you don’t need to have a Revit knowledge before. This article is the first part of our Revit MEP tutorial.
