MEP Hangers

ARKANCE | Be.Smart Portfolio (formerly Agacad)

For fast, precise layouts of hangers and supports for MEP line-based elements and FAB elements in Autodesk® Revit®.

Trial

Use this powerful BIM software to auto-place hangers and supports for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in Autodesk® Revit®. No more placing each hanger/support individually! This app enables instant, customizable, rules-based insertion and modification of elements throughout your 3D model. Which also means high accuracy and speed on site, too.

To make it easy to jump right into using the app, we provide a complementary library of commonly used, customizable hangers and supports. Modify them as needed, or use your own to represent real-world products accurately. Note that the library is available even during your free trial!

• Place 100s of hangers and supports per minute on horizontal, vertical, and sloped MEP elements.

• Supports Revit and IFC structural/architectural links.

• Create multi-level supports.

• Update with one click.

• Place hangers by spacing so that they connect to surrounding elements.

• Split MEP elements into predefined lengths.

• Get precise bills of materials.

• Export 3D model information for mapping drilling points on-site or for use with drilling robots.

• Extract Revit data from MEP and structural elements.

Benefits:

• Collaborate with other disciplines – even non-Revit users.

• Enables effective project coordination, letting you eliminate clashes and mistakes at the design stage to avoid costly fixes down the line.

• Use your own families or create new ones to use with the software.

• Works with Fabrication Parts hangers.

• Reduce waste and save money with precise quantities of needed parts.

• Create and reuse hanger distribution configurations to save time and ensure consistency between team members and projects. (Sample configurations are provided.)

• More visibility and size controls for hangers, more insights for analysis and scheduling.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (not the standard App Store installer).
