We’re excited to deliver these improvements to you. Lastly, Revit now supports liters per hour (L/h) as a unit for hydronic piping. For this release, we’ve streamlined the functionality of the Revit Extension for MEP Fabrication by locating the commands on context sensitive ribbons, as well as in locations commonly utilized for various import and export commands.įigure 2 Context sensitive MEP fabrication export ribbonįigure 3 Context sensitive MEP fabrication import ribbon There is an initiative across the Revit development teams to improve the user experience for tools developed using our add-on frameworks. These improvements will provide a more consistent experience across worksharing behavior for all elements, as well as avoid the problems caused by the previous behavior.

This auto-heal behavior historically caused unexpected results in worksharing scenarios. Īn additional result of th ese worksharing improvements is that, when deleting an in-line element, such as a valve, the broken segment will no longer automatically heal. This le d to circular references where User A was told they couldn’t sync because User B needed to sync first, and vice versa. This caused problems when using collaboration worksharing capabilities in a couple of ways, namely, users received notification that they couldn ’t open th e model because other users had elements checked out. For example, moving a pipe could result in attached valves, fittings, and adjacent pipe to be checked out. Previously, when modifying an element that causes other elements to move or otherwise update, those changed elements were checked out as a result. The key change with worksharing is that when modifying interconnected MEP elements, only the selected element is checked out. Panel schedules under sheets in project browser Lastly, we’ve added enhancements to how Panel Schedules are organized in the Project Browser for greater project navigation. We’ve also made a number of improvements to Switchboards and Panelboards, addressing a number of challenges raised through Revit Ideas. Electrical circuit namingĮlectrical enhance m ents through Revit Ideas This is a part of ongoing work aimed at making the electrical functionality in Revit more adaptable outside the US. For electrical workflows, we’ve provided a way for circuit numbers to be tailored to custom conventions through Circuit Naming Schemes. We’re excited to announce a number of new electrical enhancements in Revit 2021. There is a new units format for hydronic piping.The MEP Fabrication Extension add-on is now better integrated with Revit.Worksharing for MEP elements has been improved.Several enhancements targeted specifically to electrical workflows.With the 2021 release of Revit, MEP users will find a number of improvements.
