Plumbing System Recommendations

Create a posting that includes:

  • The screenshot of an interior view of your merged model from the Model Coordination tools showing the plumbing elements.
  • You’ll probably need to select and hide the Partition element from the architectural model to see your plumbing fixtures.

View of plumbing pipes in the S bathroom (architectural inner wall hidden to expose pipes)
  • A few lines describing any challenges you encountered and how you overcame them.

After mirroring the horizontal plumbing elements I encountered a few issues extending the hot water line to align with the sinks on the N side of the building (Revit was moving individual components as opposed to extending the system). Once I was able to rectify that and align components properly, everything else was very smooth and straightforward.

From a design perspective, I can easily envision how cumbersome it would be to layout plumbing systems once structural and mechanical elements have been placed (especially for buildings spanning multiple floors or functions).
