RealBIM: Revit MEP Adaptive Content

Posted on by

My recent posts have been more Revit focus, taking a short break from the energy analysis side of things. I posted Part I and Part II on some issues that companies have that relate to graphical standards and content.

You would be surprised how many MEP firms I talk with still have not implemented standardized schedules. With that being said I wanted to focus on a recent problem I was attempting to solve relating to mechanical elements adapting to the environment they are in.
