Introduction
Welcome to the Learning Autodesk Revit MEP 2010 Autodesk Official Training Guide, a training guidefor use in Authorized Training Center (ATC®) locations, corporate training settings, and other classroomsettings.
Although this guide is designed for instructor-led courses, you can also use it for self-paced learning.The guide encourages self-learning through the use of the Autodesk® Revit® MEP 2010 Help system.
This introduction covers the following topics:
■ Course objectives■ Prerequisites■ Using this guide■ CD contents■ Completing the exercises■ Installing the exercise data files from the CD■ Imperial and metric datasets■ Notes, tips, and warnings■ Feedback This guide is complementary to the software documentation. For detailed explanations of features andfunctionality, refer to the Help in the software.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
■ Describe building information modeling methodology.■ Use the different parts of the Revit MEP user interface and work with different types of Revit
elements and families.■ Manage the different views and change their properties, control the visibility and appearance of
elements in different views, and work with section, elevation, and 3D views.■ Set up a project using different templates, link Revit models, share projects using worksets, define
discipline settings, and import and edit DWG details.■ Create spaces and zones in a Revit model.■ Analyze an analytical model for conducting a building performance analysis, define heating and
cooling loads information, and calculate heating and cooling loads.■ Create HVAC systems, generate HVAC system layouts, and create and modify ductwork using Revit
tools.■ Lay out and create system piping.■ Create plumbing systems.■ Create fire protection systems.■ Create electrical circuits and wiring.
viii ■ Introduction
■ Monitor changes in files of other disciplines linked to Revit MEP and check and fix interferenceconditions.
■ Work with callout, detail, and drafting views.■ Work with text and tags, dimensions, legends, and schedules.■ Add titleblocks to a sheet, update the project information in a titleblock, and work with sheets.■ Create and modify families.
Prerequisites
This guide is designed for new users of Revit® MEP.
It is recommended that you have a working knowledge of:
■ Basic MEP engineering and design skills.■ Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Microsoft® Windows® XP, or Microsoft® Windows® Vista.
Using This Guide
The lessons are independent of each other. However, it is recommended that you completethe lessons in the order that they are presented unless you are familiar with the concepts andfunctionality described in those lessons.
Each chapter contains:
■ Lessons
Usually two or more lessons in each chapter.■ Exercises
Practical, real-world examples for you to practice using the functionality you have just learned.Each exercise contains step-by-step procedures and graphics to help you complete the exercisesuccessfully.
CD Contents
The CD attached to the back cover of this book contains all the data and drawings you need tocomplete the exercises in this guide.
Lesson: Introduction Master ■ ix
Completing the Exercises
You can complete the exercise in two ways: using the book or on screen.
■ Using the book
Follow the step-by-step exercises in the book.■ On screen
Click the Learning Autodesk Revit MEP 2010 icon on your desktop, installed from the CD, andfollow the step-by-step exercises on screen. The onscreen exercises are the same as those in thebook. The onscreen version has the advantage that you can concentrate on the screen withouthaving to glance down at your book.
After launching the onscreen exercises, you might need to alter the size of your applicationwindow to align both windows.
Installing the Exercise Data Files from the CD
To install the data files for the exercises:
1. Insert the CD. 2. When the setup wizard begins, follow the instructions on screen to install the data. 3. If the wizard does not start automatically, browse to the root directory of the CD and double-click
setup.exe.
Unless you specify a different folder, the exercise files are installed in the following folder:
C:\Autodesk Learning\Autodesk Revit MEP 2010\Learning\
After you install the data from the CD, this folder contains all the files necessary to complete eachexercise in this guide.
x ■ Introduction
Imperial and Metric Datasets
In exercises that specify units of measurement, alternative files are provided as shown in the followingexample:■ Open i_export_ifc.rvt (imperial) or m_export_ifc.rvt (metric).
In the exercise steps, the imperial value is followed by the metric value in parentheses as shown in thefollowing example:■ For Length, enter 13'2" (4038 mm).
For exercises with no specific units of measurement, files are provided as shown in the followingexample:■ Open c_boundary_conditions.rvt (common).
In the exercise steps, the unitless value is specified as shown in the following example:■ For Length, enter 400.
Notes, Tips, and Warnings
Throughout this guide, notes, tips, and warnings are called out for special attention.
Notes contain guidelines, constraints, and other explanatory information.
Tips provide information to enhance your productivity.
Warnings provide information about actions that might result in the loss of data, systemfailures, or other serious consequences.
Feedback
We always welcome feedback on Autodesk Official Training Guides. After completing this guide, if youhave suggestions for improvements or if you want to report an error in the book or on the CD, pleasesend your comments to [email protected].
