  • The screenshot of an interior view of your merged model from BIM 360 Model Coordination showing the plumbing elements.

  • You’ll probably need to select and hide the Partition element from the architectural model to see your plumbing fixtures.

  • A few lines describing any challenges you encountered and how you overcame them.

The challenge is the concentrated pipe areas (distribution area), and it is hard to connect the pipe and find the pipes I want. If the restroom is located between levels, the plumbing system is relatively easy to set up. However, there is a challenge when I copy the level 0 plumbing system to level 1, I can only copy sections of the plumbing system. After copying the system, I need to manually connect the pipes again which is time-consuming. I was wondering if we can copy the whole system, directly to a different level.
