Plumbing the Primary Bath in Revit... in 3D! (The North Wing - PT 7)

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live we will be talking about modeling plumbing in Revit for residential architects... I'll show you how to get started modeling pipes, setting up views, and making dynamic but informative plumbing drawings for small scale residential work.

Sit back, relax, and lets geek out!

Wow Jeff! Glad to see you making an attempt at plumbing in Revit! Id love to be a guest on the show and maybe get into a little more in depth with plumbing using Revit. There is so much to learn!

Hi, nice video and a great introduction to Revit MEP!
Here’s a tip: Turn off the animation on your view cube so it snaps directly to the top view. It’s a game changer when modeling in 3D!

I got a feeling that create a brand new MEP file and link the arch model into could be a good approach. end of the day, it depends the scale of the projects.

Love your stuff man, understood it clearly!

In spain, architects are prepared and authorized to do everything, from plumbing to structural design and calculation towards final approval and construction. That doesn't mean that they end up outsourcing that to others for assurance as we already have a lot on our shoulders for each project.

For efficiency i would preffer to keep diagramatic installations defining the segments and widths that have been calculated.

Now i will think about keep it as detailed as yours.

Good work. Your drawings are very sexy.

love the videos! Jeff, did you modify your line weights or are you working with the default line weights from Revit? your drawing lines look super nice.

We create high end Revit family content for manufacturers, where we make multi tee pieces. This T-piece has shared nested reducers and bends and thus can create an assembled connection of a t-piece, reducer and bend in one. because they are shared nested they will be scheduled. Same with a multi bend, 2 bends in one container family.

Is there any channel like this for MEP Revit??

Please start electrical power and then HVAC

Maybe different countries have different perceptions.
For me, it is disgusting to connect the sink/floor drain (WP) and toilet drain (SP) together early. (the smell may waft out when washing hands)
If this just draw it casually to show the function, that’s fine.
Otherwise, there will be a smell if the bathtub and floor drain heads do not have traps.

Beautiful to see you try, but the pipe slope segment is so cringe to see as a MEP designer on Revit. When you do your pipe command, in the ribbon, you have a slope menu. But as a architect, dont bother about the slope (i know a lot of MEP designer who dont even do it).

I design plumbing in Revit for a living and have to say - Revit sucks it in a big way! Though using AI for creating connection from point A to point B would be enough.

The waste and vent are not to code. So, a starter example. Not a real world example. Still love The Revit Kid though.

Why don't you try it in more logical way? You cannot connect the bathtub to the sewage system like this!
