Sloped piping tools support enhanced productivity for piping design. Create pipe slope values and transfer from project to project for design efficiency. Define the rise over run and lay out your plumbing design more easily. Calculation is automatic and slope propagation is easier when you apply a slope to a run of multiple pipe selections through fittings. Tag invert elevations at the beginning or end of a pipe run, minimizing guesswork and manual calculations. Keep track of the current pipe elevation with dynamic on-screen tooltips while routing sloped piping. Connect between 2 points in space regardless of the slope required.
Gain greater flexibility during design, and focus on the systems that are important to you with an enhanced system browser feature. Select to view only the system you are working on. For example, you can view only the electrical systems and hide mechanical and plumbing systems from view. Check to see if elements are fully connected and contributing to system load requirements for more accurate sizing. See the total electrical load, air flow, or pipe flow at any point within a system.
Create and name custom duct and piping system types. Access properties for graphical overrides such as color, line weight, and line patterns to objects within a specific system. Assign objects to systems without needing to connect to system equipment. Annotate system geometry with a system abbreviation. Limit or turn off system calculations when not required.
Enhance design intent even from the earliest stages with placeholder objects for ducts and pipes. Use placeholders to determine location of duct or pipe runs prior to finalizing your designs. Easily convert placeholders to more detailed objects with fittings, and size the run once your design is finalized.
Using a single command, add insulation to entire duct and pipe runs. For even greater detail, add lining to duct. Include important design details with a single command and then perform interference checking on the insulation to avoid conflicts with other systems or structural and architectural objects. Automatically adjust duct sizes when you’re sizing ducts that include lining.
Work dynamically and experience greater flexibility by displaying panel schedule totals in current or load values. Merge multi-poled slots into a single cell. Display load classification totals for individual circuits.
Revit Point Cloud tools connect laser scans directly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process, helping to accelerate renovation and retrofit projects. By visualizing point clouds directly within the Revit MEP software environment, it’s easier to author an as-built building information model with more confidence and accuracy.
Conceptual Energy Analysis tools* support sustainable design decision-making during early design. Using cloud-based analysis tools, you can compare the energy consumption and lifecycle costs of design alternatives within Revit MEP software. Analysis results are presented in a highly-visual, graphical format for easier interpretation.
*Web-based energy analysis is only available to Autodesk Subscription customers of Autodesk Revit MEP software or one of the Autodesk® Suites containing Autodesk Revit MEP, during the term of their Subscription.
Revit Server helps project teams in different locations to more easily collaborate on shared Revit® models across a wide-area network (WAN) with the speed of a local-area network (LAN). Better maintain an integrated collection of Revit-central models on a single central server that can be accessed from local servers. Built-in redundancy supports protection in case of WAN connectivity loss.
Revit MEP* is a Citrix Ready™ application, giving you more flexibility and option for working from remote locations using a single server.
*Additional Disclaimer: The Citrix application is network-based, and performance of Autodesk Citrix Ready Applications may vary with network performance. The software does not include the Citrix application, nor does Autodesk provide direct support for issues with the Citrix application. Users should contact Citrix directly with questions related to procurement and operation of the Citrix application.

Intuitive layout tools enable easier model modifications. Autodesk Revit MEP automatically updates your model views and sheets, enabling you to maintain document and project consistency. Create HVAC systems with mechanical functionality and 3D modeling for ductwork and piping. Easily modify the model by dragging design elements on the screen in almost any view. Model in both section and elevation views. Make a change anywhere, and all model views and sheets update automatically, for more accurate, coordinated designs and documents.
Communicate design intent visually with room color-fill plans. This functionality minimizes the need for deciphering spreadsheets and using colored pencils on printed plans.
Update all revisions and alterations to color-fill plans automatically across your model. Create any number of schemes, and maintain better consistency for the duration of your project. 3D modeling for ductwork and piping enables you to create HVAC systems that use color schemes for design airflow, actual airflow, and mechanical zones. Create electrical color schemes for power loads and lighting per area.
Electrical & Piping Content
Many types of electrical content—including communications, fire safety, data, and nurse call—are available from within Revit MEP. Modeling capabilities for managing electrical and data cable trays and conduits are also avaialble. Cable trays and conduits can be routed as individual runs with or without individual fittings placed between straight sections. Control panels and individual controls or devices can help you connect objects to their appropriate panels.
Autodesk Seek and Mechanical Content
View Learn how Autodesk Seek can be used by engineering professionals to search for and select manufacturer-specific, BIM-ready Mechanical content that can then be utilized for building design in Revit.
Autodesk Seek and Plumbing Content
View This demonstration shows how Autodesk Seek is easily used by MEP engineers to find manufacturer-specific, BIM-ready Plumbing content for easy use in Revit models.
Software based on the Autodesk® Revit® platform can read and write ACIS® solids, enabling easier import and export between Autodesk Revit MEP models and other AutoCAD®-based architectural or engineering applications. Import or link 3D solid geometry into AutoCAD® Architecture or AutoCAD® MEP software.
Sun Path Simulation
Sun Path Simulation enables you to evaluate the sun path to help understand the impact of the sun in relation to the project location. Engineers now have the ability to show a visual representation of a period of the year to study, or a particular time of day to better understand the impact of the sun and shadows in relation to the surrounding environment.

Automatic Generation of Construction Document Views
Automatically generate plan, section, elevation, detail, and schedule views that better reflect design information. Synchronized model views from a common database enable more consistent, coordinated change management. Benefit from more accurate, coordinated construction documents that Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides for the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical design team. Automatically generate sheet drawings so that sections, elevations, and call-out references are more accurate, while all data, graphics, details, schedules, drawings, and sheets in the drawing set are current and better coordinated. No longer spend hours coordinating sheet sets—Revit MEP automates the process.
Tag on Placement/by Category
Tag mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) components as they are being placed instead of tagging them as a separate set of steps. Tag on Placement is enabled for most categories of objects in Revit MEP, helping to increase productivity and enable you to design more efficiently.
Native support for DWG™, DWF™, DXF™, and DGN formats helps to provide compatible data exchange. Improvements to DWG export functionality enable you to map Revit categories and subcategories to layers in DWG files, giving you more control over layer naming. In addition, you can also map Revit lines, patterns, and fonts to their DWG equivalents.
Facilitate communications with third-party estimating, planning, procurement, and facility management tools by outputting Autodesk Revit MEP model data to any ODBC-compliant database.
Photorealistic images can show clients a building's systems design before it is built. Autodesk Revit MEP renders 3D project views with various effects, such as lights, plants, decals, and people. Add sunlight to an interior scene of the model for radiosity solutions. Select families with transparent materials as daylight sources.
