MEP Openingis your new powerhouse tool for Autodesk® Revit®! Automatically model openings in slabs and beams for the passage of pipes, cables and ducts.

This plugin offers a variety of customization options for creating openings:

• Choose between the current or linked model for both the structural model (RVT or IFC) and MEP discipline (RVT).
• Specify the MEP discipline name for unique identification parameters in the created openings.
• Define the default gap between piping and structure.
• Support for circular and rectangular openings.
• Select desired nominal diameters for creating openings.
• Establish the minimum allowed distance to reference beams and slabs.
• Define a minimum tolerance between openings to automatically group them.
• Choose between different execution scopes.
• Support for floor plans and 3D views.

In addition to opening modeling, MEP Opening features:

• Automatic verification of project guidelines.
• Easily visualize openings that do not meet defined minimum distances.
• Create review spheres for project coordination and easily highlight unapproved, under review and approved openings.
• Generate review schedules to support collaboration and facilitate parameter input.
• Automatic openings grouping
• Define a tolerance for automatic grouping upon creation.
• Choose if you want to group horizontal, vertical or all openings.
• Or select the desired openings to group them manually afterwards.
• Automatic identification of inverted beams.
• Use of custom, standardized, and parameterized families.
• Standardized symbology for differentiation of circular openings with different diameters;
• Control handles for alignment with reference structural elements.
• Identification of pre-existing openings, preventing the insertion of duplicate instances.

Revitalize yourMEP workflow with MEP Opening! Create and coordinate opening projects with greater precision and efficiency.

Upcoming Features:

• Support for linked MEP models in IFC format.
• Support for more categories of structural elements.
