Step 1: Update Architectural Model

‣

Step 2: Place plumbing fixtures and model plumbing system

‣

Step 3: Copy plumbing fixtures and plumbing system

‣

Step 4: Model Coordination in ACC

Challenge

The most significant challenge is to make sure that the vertical risers do not clash with HVAC system or Structural system (where is affects the load bearing capacity). This was addressed by mapping the structural element placement before modeling the plumbing systems combined with model coordination in ACC.

Another issue I faced was that I couldn’t connect the toilets to greywater supply and used cold water instead.
