Quite simply, Revit creates problems where none existed when using Autocad.<br /><br />With Autocad you didn't have headaches from:<br />No family issues<br />Moving fixtures/piping when an architect/owner shifts items (ok still a headache, but not to the scale revit gives us)<br />No system type issues, this is a huge headache when someone accidentally connects one system to a different one.<br /><br />Those are just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the beastly computers and still slow-performing program. Plumbing drawings, at least in certain areas of the industry are diagrammatic. With Revit, you cannot print a 2D drawing with a rack of 3/4" piping and have it be legible if you set the piping distances to what they'll be in the real world, so you have to purposely space piping further apart to get the drawings to look correct. At that point, why use revit? If you have to do a combination of diagrammatic and realistic pipe routing, and it takes more time to draw these in revit (assuming we follow your suggestions about systems), then I have to ask, what practical benefit is there?<br /><br />As a coordination tool, Revit is great for pipe routing, you can review the model with sections (the best feature of revit by a long shot), as you draw in CAD. You can verify you have the space, identify locations where offsets need to be shown, and achieve (at least in my opinion), a better diagrammatic set of plumbing drawings in far less time.<br /><br />This is just my opinion, to each their own. If you are doing very detailed plumbing work (labs, boiler rooms, etc) I can start to see benefits. But for your average plumbing layout, it simply isn't there.<br /><br />/RantDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683851527929195519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36196923.post-3508932236008388622015-05-07T08:10:37.754-05:002015-05-07T08:10:37.754-05:00Nice Post.Thanks for Sharing detailed information ...Nice Post.Thanks for Sharing detailed information on system creation.

We also have a problem of accounting for flow diversity in duct and pipe systems. In this age of variable flow, it is surprising that we cannot vary the flow in mains so as not dramatically oversize duct and pipe mains and risers.Toddg123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14248530233461206544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36196923.post-43207529382271715692011-05-19T17:15:03.071-05:002011-05-19T17:15:03.071-05:00Basam, I have done just that using a method simila...Basam, I have done just that using a method similar to that above.
