REVIT MEP BASICS

[Music] hello myself s Emily from SM techno engines of fear services Private Limited I am a mechanical engineer I am taking HVAC and I have been a professional trainer of over 12 years so before starting Rivet let me explain about them because a Revit MEP is a software from Autodesk work on BIM concept so it is required to learn about BIM before starting a rivet so what is BIM so in order to understand what is BIM let me play a small video clip to get the idea about the BIM so you know them is Building Information modelling just have a look what is BIM BIM is very much talked about in the building industry but what is it really what is it used for and who should use it some say BIM is a type of software some say them is the 3d model of buildings others say BIM is a process or that BIM is nothing more than an organized collection of all building data BIM is all of the above and more now let's see BIM explained in layman's terms when it comes to them everything begins with a 3d digital building model this model however is more than just simple geometry and some interesting textures added to it for visualization a true so here in BIM concept we are dealing with a single database and in BIM concept before dealing with actual first we'll do in a virtual way so in BIM concept we are dealing with the 3d intelligent building and with the 3d intriguing components for the services and before dealing in actual practice if you complete the work in a virtual way so the problem which is going to happen on site can be rectified at the time of design stage and we can save lot of time on site and material the morrow consists the virtual equivalents of the actual building sections used to create a building these intelligent elements are the digital prototype of the physical building elements such as walls columns windows doors stairs etc that allow us to simulate the building and understand its behavior before the actual construction begins now let's see what a BIM model can be useful for 3d so the first option and them is 3d visualisation it means if you are dealing with the BIM concept means we are working with a 3d inclusion component not just 3d component we are dealing with a 3d inclusion component and that inclusion component can link with the other component at the time of design visualization of course the most basic use of a BIM model is for creating realistic visualizations of the plant building your BIM model helps your design decisions by comparing various design alternatives and for selling your design to your client the local community and other stakeholders as well change management next up next concept in BIM is change management in them we can say change anywhere will update everywhere for example if you are using CAD software in CAD software we are dealing with the different types of drawing and if you do any changes in plan will not automatically update in section but in case we are dealing with the when we are dealing with a BIM concept for example using Revit MEP because you know drivet work on BIM concept so if we change anything in the plan automatically it will update in all other views like section elevation etc why because we are working with the 3d intelligent component not drawings like our ticket since data is stored in a central place in a bill model any modifications to the building design will be automatically replicated in each view such as floor plans sections and elevations this not only helps in creating the documentation faster but also provides stringent quality assurance by automatic coordination of the different views you'll the next option in them is building simulation so now we are talking about saving off energy green building etc so in them concept we are also dealing with the building simulations in simulation bill models contain more than just architectural data information about the different engineering disciplines sustainability information and other characteristics can be easily simulated well in advance of actual construction data management so the next option is data management and this option also very useful in BIM concept and followed by rivet for example if you are dealing with a metal takeoff using CAD layout so manually we are going to read the drawing we are extracting the number of diffusers number of light pictures etc but in case if we are dealing with the BIM for example using rivet software in Revit when we use any component in the project you'll find the entry in the database and rivets work on them and BIM offer single database and when you are using any component you'll find the entry in the data and that that information can be extract in the form of a schedule like Excel program with a hundred percent accuracy at the time of metal requirement or metal takeoff so this also one very excellent option offer by BIM and followed by Revit BIM contains information that is not visually represented at all scheduling information for example clarifies the necessary manpower coordination and anything that might affect the outcome of the project schedule cost is also a part of BIM that allows us to see what the budget or estimated cost of a project might be at any given point in time during the project needless to say the data put in a BIM model is not only useful during the design and construction phase of a building project but can be used throughout the entire building lifecycle helping to reduce the operation and management cost so if you talk about them sub image the concept not just for design beam is a concept right from the design till that demolish of the project including the maintenance project project maintenance etcetera so we can consider beam is a concept for the complete lifecycle of the project including the services so remember BIM is not a software Lim is a concept or we can say BIM is a concept for the complete lifecycle of the project right from the design stage till the demolished of the project including services and Revit is a software from Autodesk work on BIM concept for designing for drawing for metal takeoff for modeling etc [Music] [Music] so after learning the concept of them now we are ready to discuss about Revit so as I said at the beginning rivet is a software from address and you all know about RS AutoCAD is from what it has three mags so list of software so this rivet mep software also from order desk and work on the BIM concept so here the advantages of rivets lesson feel cycle time next better organization and collaboration between the services and architectural and structural small turn time ratio minimize off waste at the time of working because at the time of design stage only the shoes which is going to happen on site can minimize at the time of design stage so you can expect save saving of time and the metal on site next increased on-site renewable opportunities next greater error detection and risk Magnusson and of course improve employee productivity next we'll talk about the special features offered by Revit MEP soft so the key features for Revit MEP software the first option is coordination between MEP services not only MEP services arrive it off for coordination between the architectural MEP services and its structure but here we are talking about me3 services so we'll talk about the services so between the services you'll find the coordination or for example if any change in the architectural design at the time of design stage so as per the requirement one can change in the services or vice versa next operation of software is parametric it means change anywhere will update everywhere for example if you talk about the equation Q equal to AV keeping the Q constant say flow rate in ducting if you keep the flow rate constant in duct and with that if you increase the velocity automatically the duct sizes will reduce so it means a rabbit work on parametric engine so if you change one parameter automatically as per the relation to other parameters the values will update and this option also very useful for designing next Revit supports the design so in Revit we can deal with the designing means calculation but we can deal with the drawing and very easy and with very less time compared with AutoCAD and of course we can go for scheduled required for the building project for metal takeoff so the next option load calculation and energy analysis and very in very advanced way with the less effort next duct and pipe designing so we don't require a separate duct size or pipe sizer in Revit because rivet offer tools for ducting and pipe sizing as per the required methods so you can expect the different methods for duct sizing like equal friction method or static akin method or a velocity method even for piping also you can go for the velocity method or the combined velocity plus frictions etcetera so no additional ducts five series is required you can use the inbuilt option within the software next one more very useful feature Auto layout of ducting and piping so for this I'll show you an example directly in the software so here this is also one excellent option in Revit so for example after completing the logical connections because in rivet first logical connection is required before dealing with the physical connection and this auto routing option will help to get the different possible routes for ducting as well as for piping so for example when I click this diffuser here I am going to use the tool called generate layout and this option will appear only after completing the logical connection so already I complete logical connection for this area just to show the options for auto routing so click this diffuser and when you go for this generate layout here will go for some settings say three thousand five hundred the offset for the duct same here and will also select the type of the duct for example I'm using rectangle duct taps and even for a branch also the same option and after this here we can go for the different option you see one of six solution so one of six years state and turn with the branches and the second option in this way so like this which is best as per the site condition or as per your experience we can click finish to convert this into duct so this also very useful option to save a lot of time to get the auto routing for the ducting and auto routing for the piping next option logical and physical system so in Revit first we'll create the logical connection and then physical connection for example we'll create the logical connection between the light fixtures and lighting panel and then only you can deal with the wiring and the load will update the panel in the same way for mechanical service will create the logical connection between the diffusers and a Jew then we'll deal with the ducting then only the duct sizing can be done next index route analysis and this is also very useful tool especially to select the fan and the pump so most of the engineers at the time of selecting the fan and pump the route index would especially for big project finding the index route sometime it's very time consuming and lot of confusion but in Revit after placing the equipments and physical connection easily with the tool called system inspector we can find out the index route so that we can find out the total pressure drop to select the fan and to select the pump next we have walked through and flight through for client presentation so here I attached to an example so here you can have a look so this example for a walkthrough for client presentation this is like a real system but this can be prepared with a very less effort in Revit after completing all this equipment we have a tool called walk through and using that walk through tool you can create the animation like this for client presentation next all 3d views 3d modeling so in rivet we are working with the 3d intelligent component we are dealing with or modeling and no dot we can go for the drawing also but rivet means basically we are dealing with the modeling modeling of the component like piping modeling ducting modeling and different other components modeling for MEP site and if you talk about actor issue side also we are dealing with the 3d incision building then as a mechanical or electrical engineer when we start our service we are going to link a 3d intelligent building which is prepared in Revit abstraction next creation or creating section views in second so here I will show you wearing so for example after completing this ducting if I want to create a section for this area simply will create a slice by using the section tool and you'll get the section so this is very easy so here I'm going to click on this view tab and from this create panel I'm using the tool section and simply I'm going to create the slice like this and when you do this automatically the software will create this section for this area but how to access simply double click this you can able to access and now it is in single line view because of the setting for example if I click this file you can have a look with the 3d view also so and later if I add or remove anything in this area automatically the section also get updated for example if I select this equipment if I delete from this it will delete from the section also or as if I select this duct and if I delete from this section it will delete from the plan view so in Revit we are working with the multiple views of the same component so we are dealing with the modeling you are not working with the drawings next plumbing and fire fitting design can be done lighting load power load calculation for electrical side and finally detailing dumb documentation annotation for the sharp drawing and no doubt at the end we can also create the families miss modeling components like creating the fittings for pipe creating the fittings for ducting and if any new component is required which is not available in the software and that can be created in a separate family leader and that we can call family so families refers to 3d intelligent comprehend that component what we are going to use in the project ok so next we'll talk about the tiny details here the prerequisite for attend to attend this program is you should have the basic knowledge of MEP design and the system configuration to run the software whether you are using a PC or a laptop so the recommended processes processor is i3 or above the RAM 4gb minimum and 8gb is recommended and if you have minimum 5 GB hard disk space you can able to install this software and I recommend to use Windows 7 64 bit because 32-bit is not applicable because in the latest version now if you talk about 2018 version 32-bit is not applicable you should have a minimum 64-bit operating software did you download the notes and the project files so it's a very simple procedure what we are falling in the notes you will get all the points step-by-step for the project and you'll also find the highlights in that notes so that when you practice in home the work will be easy for you for example you see let me show how can you find this highlights this will help you when you practice because no need to read the complete lines just with this highlight that will be easy for you to quick quickly pick test points or the icons from the screen and how to use that project files so I'll show you when we start so let me give you the idea about this training program this rivet mep we are dealing with the 2020 and the latest version and why we are using the latest version because for into interview point of view because in an interview they are dealing with the latest version because this rivets off air compared to our ticket or the software is a new in market compared compared with that so many consultant consultants are adopting this and when they are purchasing they will they are getting the letters this version so an interview also mostly you can find the nearest version anyhow if you know 2020 and you can deal with the previous version also and if you talk about this version from 2016 till 2020 you will not find much difference major changes but if you are dealing with the 2009 then compared with the 2009 you will find much difference in 2012 version and after that 2012 then if you compare with 16 you will find new very means number of new options but from 16 onwards till 2020 you'll not find much means major changes they add some some new tools some new information but you not find the major difference in mep site till 2012 you know this separate version for architectural side and MEP and structure but from 2013 and they combined and they launched this rivet 2013 and still the separate options are available like if you wanna can purchase rivet MEP separate version but from 2013 they are offering the combined version and you know this BIM is a soft beam is a concept right and rivet is the software works on beam concept or in other words I can say Revit is a software from Autodesk try to achieve the beam concept because BIM is right from the design stage till the demolish of the project the concept and this is not only for services you know this is for complete building for complete building including the services so beam is a big concept so till now in Revit software you cannot find all the concepts of them the beginners we can say a rivet is a software from order s try to achieve the beam and it's working beam concept so mostly in market many people consider BIM is equal to rivet but technically it's not correct BIM is a concept and rivet is a software from Autodesk but Revit works on the beam concept so generally in market they're considering both are same okay and you know this the history of this BIM concept or this kind of software in 2002 this solderless launches this abs orders building system that software also work on the game console and in 2008 they introduced this rivet architecture sorry in 2006 and after two years they they launched this Revit MEP and you know this from 2013 there every year they are introducing the combined version so we are dealing with that 2020 version so quickly let me start with a very basic so starting first chapter one two three is common for all the services so in the notes till page number one to 27 you'll find the general information but the actual exercise start will start from page number 27 so directly I'll jump to page number 27 but before this quickly we'll talk about the file formats I think you know but my responsibility to to cover all this points so directly you see point number one page number one in the notes and what I'm following the complete you can find in your notes so you here on screen page number one in the notes file formats you know this is a very basic me asking interview also like AutoCAD DWG or ticket file like do see for raw what file similarly for a bit we have this file formation dot RVT is a rivet project file then it's common for this mep plus structural and actor she means or the same format for all these services including this architectural structure so when we're dealing with the project file will follow this dot RVT files next in order to prepare or in order to start the Revit project we'll use the template file so I think you know what is template like you know to get you know template is a file consists of the common settings which can be insert in the project file to save the time anyhow we have first exercise how to create this template file and then we can use in the project to save the time so in detail we'll talk about this template file and how to create and how to deal with the different common settings for for project so at the time when we are dealing with the template file the file format is dot RT next we have families so families refers to so family refers to 3d intelligent component but here if you compare this a component related to MEP services the major difference between the crystal and the MEP components or the family is the character in architectural site like wall window door excetera means all these families you will not find any connector now but here if you talk about the ahu or a diffuser or a light picture etc you know all this components you will find the connector and what is exactly connector I will show you when we talk about the family so I will give you example you know family first to 3d in region component so you know what is 3d component 3d component means with the x y&z you know 3d component like you know ticket also you know the 3d component same in rivet also we are dealing with the 3d components but we used to call 3d inclusion component because three 3d component with connector or with the parameters we can call inclusion component for example if you talk about wall wall what we are using in Revit accessory is the 3d component right with what with all the parameters like the material thickness density etcetera similarly if you talk about this mev services if i talk about a diffuser in the diffuser is a 3d inclusion component with connector and in the connector will configure all the parameters like flow rate velocity pressure drop etcetera means the design parameter and that can help at the time of design to communicate or to link with the other components so that we can able to review the design like dock designing pipe designing electrical panel with the light logical connection etc so all we'll discuss in detail but at this level this RFA is for family file then family refers to 3d intelligent component a 3d component with the connector or with the parameters we can call inclusion components so that that component can link with other components and can shade the information whether other components for designing point of view so this is RFA and at the time when we create the component right from the scratch we have two options we can create the new component from the existing for example already we have diffuser say 12 by 12 size diffuser but if you want say 21 / 21 face size diffuser so from 12 by 12 we can able to create 21 / 21 so this is one way to create the family means we'll create the new from the existing by changing the parameter damages etcetera so directly will open that existing file dot RFA and we'll create a new means we'll go for a save as or duplicate and change the change the parameter and create as a new component one option the second option is we can start from the scratch means will not take the any existing component suppose a new component I'm interested to create in in the rivet family so for that we require a template file like you see like template file for project similarly we have a template file for family also in this also you'll find the common settings like the access planes some basic settings which can be used at the time of creating a new component so here the file format is dot RFD rivet family template file so in order to create the family component from this crash we will use this r dot r ft template file and for project dot dot R T so these are the four four four file formats we are using in Revit software our next what is wharton screen so for example let me open one existing file just to just to show what is wharton screen so i have already some shortcuts so forget about this conducting piping sir travel discuss later just to open this existing file to explain what is what on screen okay so simple quick so here first this file or about this file you can find this our it is a logo for rivet and beside this we'll find some tools here like open save print etc this we can call quick access toolbar shortcuts you can you create your own shortcuts for example when I click this system here duct and that is already available the shortcut for example pipe so right click Add to quick access toolbar here you can notice the pipe is added in the shorter so this is called quick access toolbar and beside this will find the name the title of the project so this is the title bar and here you find some option sign in course search etcetera in signing is you can sign in to address and you can search the required option etc below this right from this file to this modify these are all call taps because you know even in or ticket also then the let refreshing get the taps not the menus so they're all taps right from this file to modify and if you compare this with 2008 conversion this file type is in you previously in the 2018 version this file and this R is combined as one application menu but now you see in 2020 version when you click this file it'll get the application menu previously this file was merged with the R and when you click this icon are you will get the application made that is there are some changes in the notes so these are all tabs and below this when you click on any tab like our critial tab or structural try of steel type etcetera you will find that I've been for example here going to click the system right from this modified to the workplane is all called ribbon so under then you'll find panels here HPC is one panel and if you only can take it out this is one option similarly fabrication is one panel like this will find the list of panels select is one panel mechanical plumbing electrical these are all panels and panel consists of tools some tools are direct tool like you can click on the dark placeholder etc some have the drop down like this and this this appearance will change as per your screen reservation for example if you change the screens related resolution for example here see when I click this manage tile tab you will find the icons there is no description for this icons but if when you increase this screen resolution with icon you will find the description also so at the time of interview this appearance may vary so this appearance may change as per the screen resolution so if the screen if you increase the screen screen resolution this icon you will get with the description or if you decrease with our description okay and as per the screen reservation here you see if I increase the screens relations to even this electrical panel also you'll find like plumbing and piping beside this okay but now it is in top-down because of because of the I my screen my system screen pixel settings okay next so these are hot these are all panels and below this panel you'll find this option bar so when i zoom here for example for example when I select this pipe or anything you'll find some options here you see diameter 2 inch middle elevation 9 feet 6 inches what is middle dilution that I will discuss in detail when we talk about this ducting and piping this at this level is just I am showing this option is call option bar this one you will find this modified duct width height elevation etcetera this complete this we can call option bar similarly when I select the diffuser you find that CFM so as per your selection you'll get the options in this bar so this we can call as option bar below this left side here we can call property window and below this property window you will find the project browser window so first we'll talk about this property window I'll take this out so in this property window you will find three section but before this I think you already aware we can use commands in rivets right can we use commands in rivet without command window right there is no command window but commands will work and the condition of using the command is huh you see when you click somewhere here on the icons you know commands will not work or when you click in the status bar or in the schedule view or in shaded view or you have some one more sheet sheets you can work so if you want to use command click on this working area right or is in the empty ribbon the commands will work so here for property window we have a command that is EP if you want to connect any oil shale one this command shortcut PDF of eight pages directly from water rest will say I'll shade the soft copy you can use that one but few commands which is commonly used at the time working you can make a note the first command is PP is the for properties or as you can write the subheading properties in bracket P be under that three sections for all the three points and this we can call us to and this a ds3 so point one you can write element element properties drop down or type selector the first option why we'll discuss let me compute the second option is edit type or type properties and the third option is instance instance properties so the first point why we used to call element property drop down type selector symbol you see when I select the diffuser here you'll find the other types of diffuser which is available in the software or which is available from the library now you see twelve by twelve six inch etcetera for example when I select this duck we'll find the other types of that when you select this pipe you'll find the other pipe other types of piping available if something is not available in the list we can able to load also and that we'll discuss later at present this area in the property window is called element property drop-down or type selector because we can able to select the different type from this type selector okay and we'll use till the end for all the services second option edit type edit type is what property of the component for example when I select this diffuser when I click this edit type here you can find out the diffuser dimensions and you can update the manufacturer model assembly code etcetera then this are all general properties of the diffuser not the design properties or the property of the component is there any type so any type is a property of component but all the components what we are using for MEP services for designing point of view right so we require the design properties also so we again when I select the diffuser here below this any type so the second option is any type nothing but properties of the component below this here this is called instance properties so when I select the diffuser here you can notice you can find out the type of diffuser with a supply a turn the total pressure drop is not updated we can update flow CFM etc these are all belongs to design properties okay so this instance property is nothing but the design properties for the component on only component properties means this ad type okay so all together this is property window when you type EP when you click on the screen and IPP it will off again PP too long so come on again I'm going to shift on the left side the next window here after this properties is a project browser and I think you know in Revit we are dealing with the project right not like AutoCAD files in AutoCAD we are dealing with the different files suppose if you're dealing with HEC you'll find the separate files for ducting separate files for piping separate equipment etc again for electrical you will find the separate lighting load layouts power layout etcetera so if you are dealing with Rivet we are dealing with the multiple files then for coordination will use that files and merge and we'll check the coordination issues if any will create the section and we'll update that coordination issues but in case of Revit since the deal with the BIM concept so all these services in one file right and here you will find the views in rivet you see for example when I expand this view under design you'll find this architectural fire production HVAC etc then when I expand this for example architecture will find floor level 1 2 3 the same level 1 2 3 you will find in the service also the same level 1 2 3 1 you will find in the lighting also flow means in rivet we are dealing with the project so you see same views same levels I can say our same floors but multiple views and multiple views is it not mean that these are different files these are views only of the same location of one building so when we are dealing with the services first of all we are going to link the 3d intelligent building how I'll show you we have the first step in design so first we are going to link the 3d intelligent building and after linking will create the views for different services then we'll start the service and you see the level 1 2 3 you will find the architectural the same in HVAC and the same you can duplicate and use in the lighting and the same we can duplicate the news in the plumbing firing etc so these are multiple views of the same area suppose level 1 here level 1 here and again another services level 1 means level 1 only miss grant flow for example so these are all not different files these are all views of the same location of the same area then why we are dealing with the different views to avoid confusion for example level once a grant flow in HVAC the same grant floor view you'll find in the fire fraction also or level 2 is available in level 1 we can duplicate all take example of lighting level 1 same level winds available here so level 1 is a ground floor so this is level 1 is in HVAC this is in lighting you know the difference is what these are duplicate views of the same ground floor and in HVAC will switch off the other services like will switch off the lighting diffuser this sprinklers etc and in firefighting will switch off the diffusers for what for coordination issues or at the top not exactly for coordination to avoid confusion at the time of working because at the time of working if one view used by all the services and that will create a lot of confusion at the time working and you know this on site we required different layer for different services for installation so for that reason at the time at the time working also we require the multiple views no word confusion but anytime for coordination we can switch on that particular service to check the coordination for example if you are dealing with will be level 1 HVAC and now you are interested to place the diffusers so what we'll do we have a tool called VG we'll discuss we have a separate topic VG visibility graphics and with the VG I will switch on the lights light picture and we'll check the location of light fixture and based on that we can place the diffuser so at the time of coordination anytime we can switch on or off the services or components but with the different with the multiple views to avoid confusion and later this views will place on the sheet to take the printout so this project browser is very very useful we'll use till the end for all the services in the project browser you'll find the views in the views you'll find the floor plans ceiling plan 3d views elevation sections etcetera then you'll find this documentation actually documentation we can create this is after designing for adding detailing we can clear the new category documentation it's not the default category but if we talk about default category legends you'll find all the legends were after kidding you will find under this legend category scheduled quantities I will discuss we have a separate topic for this reports like hvc load calculation report sheets for all the services and then we'll create the sheets and we'll place the views on the sheet then family components you see when expand this the default family components available in this project like you see if you are if you are looking for diffuser or duct you see duct type this - duct types are available rectangle around if you want oval we can add but these are the default when you open a new project you'll find the default families but if you want more we can take from the library we can load from the library by using that load from library option with the help of insert tab next here groups so here group refers to block like an AutoCAD block similarly in Revit views to call group then links nothing but the link file like in AutoCAD we used to call xref extra difference file similarly in rivet we are dealing with the link file and the major difference in AutoCAD we used to take that if XF external reference that is architectural layout there is only 2d but here when we talk about link we are dealing with the 3d intelligent component we are controlling the 3d intelligent building to start the building services so we can check which link or the link file here if link me is missing we can reload reload from reload unload like like except the concept is same but the terminology is different but here we are dealing with the 3d intelligent building not the layouts okay so these are bought the project browser next right side here it is a working area or in short I can say Model View because in Revit we are dealing with the modeling 3d increasing modeling so at this level on screen this is Model View we have a separate views for the drafting you see we have separate views here you can find this drafting view separate views you will find for the legends substrate views for the ship separate views for this schedules quantities etc but on screen here you will if you find the 3d region components so this is called Model View because we are really made the modeling so the major part in rivet we are dealing with the modeling then we'll go for drafting view shears etc so on screen this is called Model View now the working area and on the right side you know this is view cube and the view cube every corner every face in every edge will provide you the view and if I click on the top view looks like a plan and when I click this corner now the 3d view and the default view for to get the default view click on this home you will get the South East 3d view in the default view and below this you'll find the navigation bar also how to use we'll discuss next here 3 by 8 inch to 1 foot till this last icon revealed constraints this is called view control toolbar with this we can able to control the view for example on screen when i zoom this pipes and ducts is appear like it means the views 3d view if you want to change to the single line click on the course and now a single line this for appearance but single and it not mean that is there is only a line there is no doubt or no pipe still these are all ducts and pipe only the change in appearance similarly we can go for this final medium there is you fine or medium almost you see it's like a 3d view but in fine you'll find more fine it means fine-tuning and on screen you'll find this option with thin line of like line with line or line with on and off like or ticket so here when I click this thin line like you notice there will be no shades now thin line off with the shade like line mate on and off like in your ticket and you know the command the thin line that command is TL you can make a note so these are all view control tool but this just this was just example will use all this option like temperature height reveal all any elements etc and the time working and below this the last option we can call status toolbar and in the status toolbar when I take the cursor close to the diffuser at the left bottom left corner you can read a terminal written diffuser similarly when I take the cursor close to this duct you can read duct rectangular duct so this is quick information quick information bar so this is about what is water on screen [Music] [Music] so now we are talking about this damage since in beam let me ask it into you you know 0 D 0 D is what 0 is a point right means zero dimension similarly if you talk about 1 D 1 D is what line in one dimension it can be in any one direction then you know 2 D 2 it is a area length into width or width into height etcetera to dimension and you also know 3d 3d is what x y&z right three dimension so up to 3d you are aware of that but what about 4d so in actual practice there is no fourth dimension but in beam terminology we used to call 4d as 3d plus project scheduling so in beam tanam technology project scheduling we are considering as one dimension so that we can call for D so for T is what 3 D plus project shading is called for D similarly if you talk about Phi D Phi dimension for D plus projects T machine then means if the project is at five East a stage means it is under estimation similarly if you talk about sixty is what Phi D plus sustainability nothing but value engineering green building saving of energy reducing that cost etcetera then seventy is for maintenance sixty plus the maintenance life cycle of the project including the maintenance in all that comes under seventy so these are the dimensions in BIM okay just for learning point of view we are you used to call this all our dimension but practically we have only three dimension okay next so these are just the basics what we did today so what you do first you make a hard copy of this notes why hard copy because you see if you're if you're learning any software not only drive it at least you must spend some time at least one hour or two hours or if you are busy at least one hour for practice okay so when you practice this noise will help you because this notes is completely in organized way all the steps of projects is given in the notes and you see to save time and to make it simple we already even highlight this okay so if you have the hard copy that will be helpful for you because you see parallely if you have a big big screen you can follow this also for example left side you can keep that notes and the right side you can arrange the software if you have a like 24 inches screen or 30 inches screen you can take the advantage of that but if you have a small screen is very difficult for you to parallel you follow the nodes and the software directly from the screen like this you see now you see when I click this system all this menus under drop-down so initially it get lot of confusion so I recommend to make a hard copy of the notes so that at the time of practice you can easily follow this and you know without practice it is difficult to learn any software and you see rivet is very simple if you spend time and further this notes will help you to make it very simple and if you follow the notes initially if you're not getting the concept also initially follow the points because in one or two day you'll not get the concept it will take time at least when we complete half of one service you'll get the idea what we are drilling in the concept initially you'll not get the concept initially we'll talk about the settings we will talk about this starting of the project aperian sitting etcetera so don't worry about that just you start practice not from today today complete the installation of the software and also make a hard copy of this print to be ready with this and I already send this the project file so keep that project file in any onedrive in to make a how to create a shortcut for this I'll show you when we use so be ready with all this so that we can start the exercise from the next session so I'll show you how to install this quickly it's very simple you can go to the website that is RS in the Google you can find free Autodesk software how you'll get the link I'll save this link directly then here love it in order to install the software first you you should have a account you have account online in order this so if you have account directly go for sign-in for example let me sign in with our account so after signing you'll get the option here select personal non-commercial use or individual use the first option next version 2020 operating system you will not get any option except 64-bit and now I think you already are using 64-bit operating and how to check this go to my computer I click click properties you'll find whether the operating system is 64 or 32 if it is 32 you cannot install this software even you cannot install 2018 version so it should be 60 first so now it is almost all operating is 64 only anyhow please check once and if you are using Windows 7 it should be updated with the Service Pack 1 this one updated Windows 7 if you have the Windows 7 only or ultimate professional whatever if it is not updated with this Service Pack 1 means the software this rivet will not allow for installation it to show operating is not sub means the operating system is not supporting if you are using Windows 8 or Windows 10 noise show directly then language you know English and after this what you do click install now and accept install you'll get initially one small file it will download you can save on the texture for example after download this file click this file and click run so it will take few seconds to download this then the installation is start and follow the instruction but be careful don't close this window this one this browser till then if you close in between after installation the software you know cannot verify the license ok so don't close this window till then then it will take it may take one or up to two hours depending on your internet speed parallel it will download and install the components like 23 or 26 components depending as per your system if you already have 2019 means you will get limited means it will need download installed image in companies because other compressor is already the common one so just follow the procedure if you find any problem in installation take the snapshot and send in the whatsapp group I'll I can respond to you ok so be ready with the software so the exercises will start from next session the first exercise directly from page number 27 you see believe me it's very simple if you follow on regular basis if you spend one hour at least in one day means if you just update with the class this you can enjoy this training and it's very interesting and it's you see it's completely automated is all the options even the load calculation is very very simple in Revit compare even with the HAP software and duct design is very simple piping also very simple but only the requirement to learn this service software is you must follow the order it's not like AutoCAD in AutoCAD we can draw the duct first or diffuser first or you can place the machine we can follow any order but in Revit you must follow the order why because in Revit we are dealing with the designing hmm we are dealing with the modeling we are dealing with the drafting we also deal with the metal take off and metal take off with 100% accuracy so since we are dealing here we are using this rivet for design and you know for design you must follow the sequence anyway that our sequence is difficult even if you if you are designing the CG system without so vivid software you know first load calculation is required and only we can able to select the machine then ducting piping set in the same way in Revit you must follow the order that's it so focus more on the sequence of using the tools and in Revit many tools will activate only as per the requirement for the particular service for example we have a tool called generate layout generate layout is to deal with the auto routing of duct or auto routing of pipe and this generate layout will activate only after completing the logical connection before this you cannot search the generate layout option in any of this menu so like this many options in rivet is hidden will activate only as per requirement in sequence and that is also one reason learning rivet with project is required without project if you learn rivet you will you may miss number of number of tools ok and you see I cannot find out that tool called generate layout in any of the menu that will activate only after completing the logical connection so one example like this after logical connection there's physical connection then the designing etc and even the design tools also will activate after completing the previous steps so following the order is important rivet so you must follow you must follow the order so initially don't do experiments follow as it is as per the notes as per the class once you get the concept you can able to do the experiment but initially if you not follow the order you will get the confusion ok I searched I start from page number 27 from the notes and this is nothing first we'll learn how to open our new project using the default template file then we'll discuss how to create our own template file and the purpose of dealing with the template file first no doubt to learn how to create the template file and the second reason is we'll learn how to access the settings like mechanical setting electrical settings in other settings which can be used at the time of dealing with the project okay so initial chapter one two and three as I said is common for all the services which can be used for for any service because in that we'll do some basic settings we'll learn how to link the project we'll talk about the system settings etcetera which is which is common for all the services so directly in the notes you see module 1 HVAC but it's not directly model 1 as I said this is common for all so here you see just for your reference you can find out the highlights you see this highlights also help you to save time and when you practice this notes will be very useful and this highlights will again help you or to avoid confusion directly using this highlights you can you can practice the options I will show you quickly on the first option here you see page number 27 so there are a few changes in the notes compared with the version so we are dealing with the latest version this is 2020 but the gnosis belongs to the previous version so there are few changes that changes I will give you directly in the class whenever you find this our icon in the notes consider the file menu you see but here reading the notes you see left side you'll find this option new but in the 18 version somewhat different but in sorry 19 version somewhat different indirectly 20 instead of this are here you will find the new okay so where you find this our icon consider model and new there are just few changes in that location but rest of the think on serpent of view you not find much difference there are some additional options that I will give you separate apart from the notes so simply go for new you see here so you can ignore this directly can find this new on the left side but you'll find the new in the model as well as the family so at this level we are not talking about the family we will talk about the model means the project file so when you click new you'll get the Browse button and you see just for reference because the first exercise I'll show you how to follow this notes this will help you you see you will find directly bras so highlighted bras is highlighted so we can directly pick this then after this the next step you see templates templates you can find the US Imperial if you aren't metric you see this straining will be will deal in English system but if you want to deal with the metric that also can be done you see buddy fault you'll find us Imperial template file but if you want metric then click this look in and go to this template and directly double-click this u.s. metric you'll find the metric template file also okay but for example let me push it with the English system so US Imperial and in this you'll find this template and this template directly from the software from the order s if you want we can create our own template file how to create we have a next option only so for example I'm selecting system d4 you see the same system default is written here highlighted and then click open so you can find that template default is available means we are opening the new project using that template system defer system default template file and you can notice our te you know this RTE yesterday villain is a file format for template file and this template file we are using in the project ok and create new what project you see the same you'll find in the notes open you see select project create new select project ok so like this when you practice you can follow this highlights this will help you means from the notes ok because this you can consider as like your lab assistants when you practice after session so simple so I'm going to open this and why we did this just to verify the template file so now on the screen the projector on screen with the default template file and because of the default template file we use in the project in this new project you can notice can you find this you see this is called elevation camera so by default you'll find for elevation cameras why because we use system default template file if you not use the template file you not get this cameras ok so these are the default setting these are the basic options you can find in the template file and we are getting because we use this the template file in the project so apart from this when I open any elevation from the project browser you see you know this project the project project we can access any view for example I am going to open elevation under elevation say North North elevation and you see these are the four cameras for different orientation so when a double-click this you can notice level 1 is at 0 feet level 2 is at 10 feet and these two levels and by default from template file this is not approach not a part of the architectural site these are part of the project file and because we got this from the template okay so that's it later when we use this template file you must know this level 1 and level 2 is a part of our project not from the link file when we link the 3d including building you'll get the levels from the link that is a link file a levels but these are the levels from the template file okay so these are a few things and just we learn how to open a new project with the template file that's it so the actual exercise start from this point number 12 you can read here reading a new project template based on the default system template means we'll create our new template file using this basic system default settings and why we are using this because system default offers some basic tools some basic options which can be used in the project using the same I am interested to add some more options for my project okay see the first exercise start from this point number 12 and the topic is creating a new project template based on the default system so we will use the default system and we'll add our own settings to create our own template file and why we are why we activity in the new template file as per a requirement for example continuously if you are getting the project from one consultant belongs to one location so for for that consultant you can create your own template file so wherever get the project you can use the template in the project to save the time for example we can create one template for English system one template for metric system as per the required locations or the settings required for the further consultant okay so here no doubt will learn this topic too to understand how to create the template file plus the purpose of this exercise to learn how to access the settings so that the settings later we can access at the time of project okay so focus on the setting accessing settings plus how to create the template file so very simple so I'll follow the same steps and you see again new project so you can ignore this icon a new project you'll find on the left side of the screen in the latest 2020 version so I'm going to close this you see the same so there are a few changes Savini practice be careful so whenever you get this icon you know this ignore this icon and the new project you'll find on the left side of the screen under the model okay so I'm going to click new again and then bras then using the system default the same but this time you see I'm interested to create the template file so under create new I'll go for select project template you see the same you can find you see create new project template okay and initially if you select this project template and click OK and after adding all the settings when you save but if all it will save as RTE form it not RVD when you select this project you'll find our VT site means the it will save in the project fireman but initially if you select project template after adding all the required settings the basic setting you want the common setting you cannot do all this project sitting in template file because the project setting will will update when we deal with the project but in the template file you can go for some basic or some common settings which can be used for multiple project so I'm selecting this project template and click OK so now on screen the project template is ready to configure ok so you see I use system default so there's a reason this solution camera the levels will be available apart from this let me add some more options and again few there are a few changes again in the notes compared with the letter version you see point 1415 is okay but here if you talk about the location under the location you can you can write this location option you can find in load calculation settings not in the manage tab ok so this layer I'll ignore at this point we'll discuss this location when we deal with the load calculation okay and the stop the option directly I I can show you so till point this okay trice let me show you simple so click on the manage tab here you know this what are the tabs and here is a setting panel under setting panel you'll find project information this icon when you click this will get the window under the window you see for energy analysis here energy settings I'm going to click Edit and now you see some options you see ground plane level 1 so in rivet level 1 refers to the ground floor and here if I expand this edit you'll find this application and you see for example application I'm considering say school because we are dealing with the school project and this system you cannot set it at this level because the system will discuss when you start the project because for example consider that I am creating a template file for school project wherever good the school project I can use this template file and schematic type building you have an expand is building you'll find the default you Alice anyhow will not use this view list you will use when we link the project the architectural building you'll get the you Alice this is just to verify okay so verify level 1 and click at it and verify this building type and schematic type and click OK and ok ok that's it this other options we'll discuss when we generate the report to get that information in the report and at this level if you're not getting the concept is ok because we are not talking about the concept at this level just we will talk about the settings so that the settings will help you when we deal with the project at the same time we're learning we are learning how to create our own template file that's it okay so next point number 17 to 19 okay so as I said you will not get the concept is the initial settings because these settings will help you to get the idea about the software about the locations etc later when we use the settings in the project you can understand the concept okay so point number seventeen to nineteen so you know this rivet work on the parametric engine if you update my demos demo video if not I'll explain now you see a rivet work on the parametric engine means in rivet you'll find the parameters and that parameter have link with each other and can be used at the time of design for example if you update one parameter automatically the other parameter will update as per the link for example when you select the duct and if you increase the velocity with the existing duct with the same flow rate automatically the sizes will change or is for the duct if you increase the flow rate then again the velocity will affect so it worked with the with the with the equations with the formulas and rivet follows as a standard for ventilation and for calculation and for formulas is used haziness formula and RC formula etcetera that I'll show you at the time of piping so here you see we'll talk about the parameter just we'll learn how to change the location of one parameter later we'll also learn how to create our own required parameters where this level just how to update the location of one parameter so and the parameter you can find out here when you click on the screen you see the left side in the properties when you select any component you will find the properties on the left side in the property window you know so at present I click on the screen in this 3d this Model View and left side is the Model View properties and when you scroll down you can find sub display and sub display is what as I said this sub display main services and when you click this drop down you see HVAC lighting plumbing power etcetera and under the main discipline mechanical means you can select mechanical under mechanical you can go for sub testing HVAC plumbing etcetera electrical means you can go for lighting etc so this sub display and now the sub display under what under this graphic group this is a group and a graphic group you'll find when you scroll down you'll find the sub display for example I am interested to change this location of sub-discipline from graphic to under identity data for example just for example just to learn how to access this parameters okay no concept in that so simple click on manage again from the setting panel after this project information the next tool above is project parameter click this project parameter and it'll find the sub-discipline click modify and I see sub-discipline under the group graphics simply I'm going to change under identity data so find out I didn't data you see I'm selecting this and not do any change for the changes rest of the thing is same this is for views click OK and ok when you do this now you can notice you see under graphics there is no sub-discipline sub-discipline shifted to and you see under identity data you'll find the sub display ok why we did this no reason just we did this to learn how to access the parameter that's it at the at this level ok so at this level just follow as it is from the notes if you're not getting concept also it's ok just learn how to access the settings these settings will help you at the time when we're dealing with the project ok similarly I will talk about the mechanical setting and the command for mechanical setting you know this ms sister is given so you can access mechanical setting with the three ways that if you can type a miss you will get the mechanical settings or as you can follow this location manage tab project panel exit I'll show you now or we have one more option which is not in the notes so very simple you see and you know this in order to use the commands either you need to click on the empty ribbon or in the working area if you click somewhere here or on the tools the commands will not work so be careful so I'm clicking on this working area this model you then type ms you'll get the mechanical window you see mechanical setting we know this is the first option to access mechanical sitting with the command the second option is click on the manage tab as for the notes from setting panel here we'll find you see mep settings under mep settings you can find mechanical settings this is a second option and the third option is very simple click on the system tab which is not in the notes you can understand this is not a it's not difficult you see click on system tab go to any mechanical panel you see hvz comes under mechanical so click this arrow you'll get mechanical sitting and mechanical comes under mechanical again so click this arrow you get mechanical setting even plumbing and favoriting also belongs to mechanical service when you click this you will get mechanical settings ok so when you click any panel right red arrow related to mechanical you'll get the mechanical settings this also one shortcut ok so now after accessing this mechanical setting we'll do some settings just to get the idea how to access the settings not detail sitting because we are dealing with the template file so in template files not a lot to deal with the complete settings the complete setting will do as per the project requirement when we use this template in the project so at this level just for duck settings for rectangle or for down or for over whatever I think you know in India in girl fever in us we are not using the odd numbers in that fabrication and we are using even numbers right even in years also the same mostly the even number is used to fabricate the duct write the same but in software you'll find all the options you see when I click this rectangular duct under the duct settings you can find out in the window you see three inch three and a half four and a half five five and a half these are all odd numbers okay so I'm not interested to use this odd number in the in the list in the list means when you select that that you'll find in the option bar so I don't want to see in the option bar plus I don't want to use at the time of duct sizing and you'll find the in means you'll not will not use a separate duct sizer if you use rivet within the rivet you'll find the duct sizer so when we use the duct sizer to size the duct at the time also I don't want to use any odd number so I'll I'll select this odd number from the list and these are common setting I can do in the template file because this is common for any project and for different location also will follow the same so I'm removing all odd numbers and you see this is just example even if you're not set now we can set in the project also but we are doing this to say at the time we are doing all these common settings so that the same file can be used in the project to save the time and remaining all are even number you see after nineteen similarly you can click this oval duct do the same round duct you can do the same etcetera in this in the same way for piping also I can click this segment and sizes I think there are some changes here you see pipe huh under pipe setting click sizes is given but in the latest version instead of sizes you'll find segments in sizes okay so if you have the hard copy or or else you can write in somewhere in the notes the size is point number 25 the size is changed to segment in sizes okay and when you click this at this level are not bother about the material that metal will discuss just for example for copper K I'm not interested to use this one by for each or as per the notes you see 3 by 4 inch 4 3 / 4 inch is available so I'm I'm D selecting this for example in my location this size is not available just for example so I'm detecting this so this the software will not use at the time of pipes using pipe sizer like duct sizer and you'll not find this size in the list also when you select the pipe physically on-screen in the option bar here okay if you remove from this use inside it's list okay and click OK so just we learn how to access the mechanical setting we have not done the detail settings that we'll do in the project [Music] [Laughter] [Music] similarly we can able to access the electrical settings but how and we'll discuss but before this we have one more interesting and important options how to load how to load the compris from the library because when we use this project or when we start a new project but if all you'll find limited family components you can find out under the in the project browser under the families you see when expand you'll find a terminus this options and when I click supply only one supply when I click return only one return exhaust only one like this when I scroll you'll find the options you see under families so these are the default components when you open a template file or project you'll get buddy for these are the family compression but apart from this means the software will not start with loading all the components which is available elaborating why because if the software start with all the components from the library unnecessary the size of the file increases and you know this anyhow this software is is a is a means compared to other software required it's a heavy software it's required a lot of processor ram etcetera again if you start any project with all the components it will be a very heavy file and it is difficult to to handle so for that reason the software not start with all the components only with the basic components you'll find in the library that we can use but how to use for example when I click the a terminal here the availability will be available but if you want more apart from this similarly you see when I click the system when I click mechanical these are the available mechanical components loud mechanical equipments but if you want more then so if you want more components if it is not in the lab in that particular category or this element property or the type selector we can load how to load very simple we see point number twenty eight hundred and nine will help you how to learn how to load and for example will simply load some tick mark like hook aquatic Marta long wire tick mark so at this level we are not bother about the stigma we bother about how to load any component okay for example will load this tick mark so that the same tick mark we can link in the electrical settings because the next option is electrical setting but learn how to load for any component okay and there are few changes again in the notes Oh point number twenty nine you see electrical folder on directory component electrically folders or else you can follow the follow the location on screen click on insert tab from load from library click load family ok when you click this buddy fall you'll find us imperial library files here you see the folders under the folders you'll find you'll find the you'll find the list of components for example if I open annotation again you'll find the subfolders if I open mechanical for example you see under this architectural components related mechanical again MEP you'll find the list of folders and you see in the latest version there keep on adding the new components so there may be some change in the location also when we access the library as per the notes okay because continuously the address they are adding the new components in the in the in the in the versions in the latest version so we are dealing with the latest one so you'll find the maximum of available 3d mode 3d including components ok anyhow at this level as per the notes go to the annotation and find out electrical you see the same you'll find you see annotation elliptical and then there are tick tick marks so after I left girl you see electric component is electrical folderol this is not required in the latest version directly the tick mark folder okay so you can strike this electrical component analytical folder man this is as per the previous location previous version so tick marks so under the tick mark you can find out the hook and you see the hook as well as long so I am selecting hooker and by holding the control key long and open so this tick marks but what do you exactly tick mark tick mark is just a symbol on the wire to identify the number of wires for one cable but this level we are not bother about hikmah that we'll discuss in the electrical module at this level just we learn how to load from the family similarly I will show you one in one more example which is not in the note C for your understanding this is simple load family you see instead of the tick mark I'll go to the mechanical you see under US Imperial and you see if you want metric also that that can also be accessed go to the library under look in and you can double click this metric so this is library material every the unit is different same component but with the different news and some change in the appearance for some components also so at present I bother about English so US imperial then same mechanical I mean to should add one ahu so go for the MEP then a side components hu comes under component and you'll find a hate you here and for example I am interested to add one eh you say vertical type for example and you can open it will load in the respective category and when I click the system sorry a mechanical equipment you see hu comes under mechanical equipment so it will oh it will be available in the respective category so when I click this mechanical equipment you can find out what we load just now you see this now we load a hu vertical package type so the same is available with the different capacities so like this as for the requirement we in load and we can use in the project because everything is not loaded okay so whenever a new component is required which is not in available in the drop-down when we access the particular category then click on insert and then go for the load family and you can load and sometime it's a common error when you install the software many time there is a chances the laboratory will not load okay so what he do you can open your software and you can check when you select this load family whether you're getting this folders or not this folders and you'll find the look in US imperial by default and verify all these folders if your if you not find any of this if it is empty then you need to reinstall the software to get all this libraries okay so please check not now after the session if you find difficulty please reinstall that with the net connection so that it will load from the order desk because many times it will not load at the time of installing the software if the speed is limited or because of some issues I don't know exactly so this is a common error we are getting okay so next option is electrical settings so how to access electrical setting again we have multiple ways to access electrical setting one options given in the nodes and the shortcut you know yes apart from this the same like mechanical like mechanical settings from mechanical panel in the same way electrical settings from electric panel so first option is what is you see you'll find the electrical setting window second option click on the manage tab from the setting panel MEP setting drop down below mechanical in final electrical settings or click on the system you see till then for all the services will use the system tab because in the system tab you'll find the mechanical electrical tools this is this tab for architecture side this staffer structural side etcetera and these are new added steel in the latest versions and octal tools will use some options in in mechanical also but not all and the structure will not use that belongs to structure so as a mechanical pickle mostly will follow this system tap and let the system serve you'll find mechanic Electrical settings so when you click the system tab find out any electrical panel you see here is a drop-down electric panel as per my screen resolution if you increase the screen resolution directly it will set like other panels okay so add presents or drop down so when you click this electrical panel here you'll find the arrow click this will find the electrical settings at this level this time click on the wiring and I think remember just now we load the wire type the tick marks the tick mark is loaded here you see hook is available here so for hot and remember in Revit hot means face hot wire means face fire for phase fire I'm selecting the hook wire for ground for example I am sorry selecting circle and for neutral say long okay and in electrical model you'll get the idea why we did this at this level we load and we'll link and we learn how to access electrical setting that's it and not completely just we learn this wiring option but remaining settings you'll find in module 2 when we deal with the electrical model ok anyhow mr. mu dou u belongs to mechanical background or let it cool ok ok basically a mechanical engineer or electrical side electrical okay so you can able to understand this anyhow with the model 2 more about this we'll discuss and click OK so now you see we did this electrical settings not completely just we learn how to axis and we did only the basic which can be done at the time of creating template file ok now finally we'll go for accessing this project browser ok if you want you can organize the project browser if you want it's not require all the time if you want you can arrange this project browser you see you know project browser has the left side in that body fall you'll find electrical than mechanical means of disciplines etcetera so I'm interested to rearrange this if you are not all the time so I am creating a template file so when I when it changes or when I change this order for the project browser that will be available in the template file and that same template file I can use for multiple project I will get the same settings okay so how to access this project browser or how to organize this project browser but before this if it is switch off then how to access again there is no default command offered by rivet if you want you can create your own commands no issue but for properties window we have a command PP but for project browser we don't have the default command then how to access again so click on the view this is not in the notes for your information click on the view again from window panel use interface drop down you can access the project browser system system browser we'll discuss later properties you see properties also you can switch in and off without if you don't want to use command you can switch on and off and here the project browser ok so you can switch on the project browser if it is off from the view panel View tab window panel use interface drop down okay and we have some other options also that we'll discuss later now in the same user interface drop down I can click this browser organization okay when you do this you'll get the window the present browser type is discipline you'll find the electrical mechanical etcetera I'm interested to change this type discipline these are the options available and in this type discipline also I'm interested to do some changes and these are optional so click this edit and as per the nodes there is again one one more change after the edit point number 35 okay you can add click on grouping and sorting after edit part number 35 you can click on grouping and sorting so quickly if you don't have the hard copy you can write the page number 30 point number 35 after edit you can write this because by default we knew opening the latest version you will get the filter of filtering but we're interested to change this grouping and sorting then you can follow the notes same first group by you can find in the note sub-discipline okay you see sub-discipline means I'm interested to group first with the sublet split then by family and type you see then by family and type and this family and type is not refers to the 3d inclusion component because we are arranging this project browser in the project browser you know you'll find the views so this family and type is related to the views like floor family like ceiling family like elevation family etc means the views family not the 3d inclusion component okay then by associate levels means I'm interested to arrange the levels then directly view name in ascending order you see view name here sort by and ascending order means with the view name like a mechanical one mechanical two etc and it should be nice any water like one two three etcetera this form as per my requirement then click OK and you see when I click apply you'll find changes on the left side in the project browser you can notice you see when I click apply now you see sub display and click OK so first we are in sub display then by family and type floor family ceiling family 3d elevation then by associate levels and then when I expand one at this level only one view because the template is a template file when we link the 3d inclusion building you can find the levels means we need to create the levels as per the building so at this little buddy for only one and it is in ascending order to start with the one so if you want this you can do this arrangement and finally when you save this you see when you go for save or save as at this level is both same because we have not saved yet when you say by default we can save with only you CRT format there is no option for RVT because I think remember at the starting we select creating project template ok so buddy fault the software will allow you to create a template file so I'm going to create this as our VT the name of the template see RVD - 98 okay under the same user Imperial so that I can use this template for my next project safe and now I say I'm going to close this now if I start any project I can use the template what I create just now to save the time so go for new project now you see I can use this RVT 98 open this time create new project not template because I'm using this template file in my project now and what are the settings we did will be available you see when I type a mechanical rectangle you see this options are not selected odd numbers or you see you can find the project browser arrangement what we did just now similarly electrical settings we did the wiring hot wire circle etc okay so all the settings will be available by default in the template file to save the time and can be used in the multiple project okay we use this template file in this project the same template file can be used for next project also because once you create the template file can be used for multiple can be used to insert in any project okay and after completing our after adding anything in this project now when you save it will save as RT format this project fine and this we cannot use in the next file because the project file now okay so I think you got the idea the same like or take a template in AutoCAD project file or or take a drawing file okay so here you see we read this exercise and you see it is strongly recommended to practice with the class means what we did today if you practice before next class you will not get the confusion why because as I said at the beginning in Rivet you must follow the sequence and without the sequence difficult to deal with the rivet and what's the sequence what we did in today's session will use this options in the next session okay like this will will add up and we'll deal with the project because in designing you know the sequence is required and rivet individual delimiter designing so sequencing is must okay so if you practice on regular basis that is strongly recommended that will help you to avoid confusion because all these options what we did will use in the next and what we are doing in the next that will be used in the next session okay like this you'll find the notion order and the project files also in order but how to use that project file I will show you when we used when you start the project in this level we are dealing with the very basics so so I will finish with this point 28 only because the link project is the next topic that we'll discuss in the next session so in the last session we discussed how to create template files right so we have some more fittings some more settings in order to start this HVC module so let me continue for next topic find out page number 30 or you can also follow on screen so the next topic is linking project linking project means we are going to lick link 3d inclusion building which is already prepared by the team of architect and the same for net dot RB T okay so that we are going to link in our project to deal with the services for example if you are using AutoCAD you know xref external reference that external reference file we are going to take as a reference in our project to deal with the ducting piping etcetera in the same way in David we used to call linked or linking project and linking project means we are not going to link this AutoCAD our Crystal files that also can be done that also can be linked and that is one that is that option also available in rivet but if you talk about the actual procedure for rivet we are going to link 3d inclusion building okay so in order to link this 3d increase in building first you must get this building or get this project from architect okay and that you can find in your project file folder which I already sent to you I believe you already download this so how to access this simple and remember this linking project is common for all the services not only for HVAC so let me proceed from page number thirty point number one so before this quickly how to create a shortcut for the project files okay so I believe already you download this project file which I sent to you along with the notes right so after downloading for example in my system it is available on desktop under this folder here 2000 trivet - so I'll I'll I'll copy this and I'll create a separate on directly on the x-term so you see on my system it's available in desktop you can place in any Drive D Drive C Drive etcetera after copying this create a shortcut of this folder individual fish so that we can save the time because all the time we are going to use this project file for example when we are dealing with the HVAC system we will use all this project file how to use and the advantage of project file we'll discuss when when I use this where this level how to create this shortcut for this project file okay so here you can find our link model so this project or this 3d inclusion building project which is again dot RVT format I got from architect for example because in actual practice you must you must get this project then only we can link ok so here the shortcut for the folder here you can find mechanical so first model is hvz under hvc we have we are dealing with chapter 1 2 3 which is common for all the services so i'll create a shortcut of this mechanical folder in rivet so how to create simple opened of it then here go for new or open so I'm going to click this open will get the window and in this window you see already we have a shortcut because I create in the previous batch so I'll delete this now there is no mechanical folder so I will go to the location for example desktop here Revit files and mechanical this mechanical folder I'll just drag and drop on the left side yes Oh see how we are talking about how to create a shortcut so here is the location of this folders so go to the location it can be in any type and simply drag and drop drag this folder and drop here on the left side and click cancel and when you click cancel the software allows you to save the location say yes so whenever you click open or new you see uh sorry whenever you click open you will get the shortcut here for the folder mechanical I will place on the top so that we can save that I am so this means this is not must in actual practice Here I am creating a shortcut because we are supposed to use this project file at the time working to save time to deal with the big project within the limited time so we are using this project file but how exactly I will show you when I use but just create a shortcut so that all the time is not required to go to the location and access that files okay so in this way you can organize this project file so first of all to mechanical later when we deal with the electrical will take a shortcut of electrical plumbing firefighting etc folders ok so this option next ha next step is linking project so how to link very simple and important to so I'm going to start a new project with that template we can use our own created template or else we can use the default template so for example same procedure like what we did yesterday go for new wait for 2 seconds and click on project then click browse and select this system default then open then go for create new what project not template file because we are interested to create a project now and click ok so I'm using the default template file in the project then you know this will get the elevation cameras 2 levels etc so for illusion cameras and when I open in this elevation you'll find this to default levels this to default level is a part of template file not part of a link file we have not linked that file yet we are going to link now okay so how to link simple click on insert tab from this link panel find out link rivet you see you'll find option for link add also that we'll discuss in in separate additional topic and for order additional topic you will get the video to download okay so here link rivet so I'm going to click this link rivet then show the location or find the location of the file so we have we already have a shortcut here for the folder click this mechanical under this arc link model so this project I got from the architect and after selecting this our crystal model 3d intelligent building here positioning fishing should be origin to origin because we are taking a reference as zero comma zero like our ticket ok then click open so when you click open means you see we are not when you click open means actually we are not going to open we are going to insert because we access this window from insert tab link link rivet so when I click open it not mean that I am opening the file I'm going to insert that or link that file ok and there is a difference between opening a file and link a file link a file means it will attach to your project and it act as a single identity and and it will be in the background color and only for reference but when you open this then it will will available with the act all actual colors with the separate to identity for door window wall etc okay so here I'm going to link so now the artistical model is linked to your project how to verify this file from the project browser here under link rivet you can verify you see arc link model dot R V T so what I link is available here we can verify some time it will be attached or it will unload also we can reload our attach from this location ok if if it is at and at that means if it is missing if the location if you change the location of the file so it will miss so in that case we can go for right-click and go for reload or reload from if you change the location like same like xfe not to get ok so now after linking the file the first step is we'll adjust this for elevation cameras why because this for Aleutian camera ms the for elevation for side elevation if you want we can add multiple elevation cameras also but by default from the system default template file we have this for revision cameras if you want more cameras then click on the view from this 3d view or sorry my mistake from this create panel elevation drop down we can add our own illusion cameras with different directions okay but I am interested to place this for only later if you want we can add four more cameras that means a camera television camera means we will get the elevation view okay but how I'll show you so first camera select this square you see we have the option when you double click this triangle on the solution camera let me show you what will happen the elevation will open the elevation view will open you see and type WT trial window left side is elevation right side his plan so just now a double click this side elevation means you are standing here and seeing this side and that this side view is available here similarly if I open if i double click this triangle this side you can find the lesion of this side I think your I think you're getting my point right so remember in order to open the elevation double click on this triangle but in order to edit this elevation camera or if in order to move the solution camera click on the square so don't get confused square when you click on this square you can able to move when you double click on this triangle the elevation will open okay so I'm interested to move this so I'm going to close this view so now let me move and rearrange this camera so how to move select on this square but if all you will get the move move icon you see you can find this four arrows so click on in-between this Square and hold the left click of mouse and move you can try this not a big deal similarly this camera somewhere there is no exact position you can play somewhere here so it will capture the complete this side area both the side unlimited okay similarly this camera I am going to place and and move here then this side so this this was first step the next step is room bonding here at room bonding piece number 31 room bonding is a technical step and with the room warning the software can create the wall roof door window as a single boundary for what so that we can create this pieces and why we are creating the spaces to deal with the load calculation to deal with the lux calculation for lighting etc and after creates after creating the space only the software can extract the area or volume for particular room so this room morning is a technical parameter so how to proceed I'll show you simple and you see when you click anyway here the whole building will select or the press arm screen the whole view selected and similarly if I open the 3d view of this what we linked you see this is the project what we linked in that you will find number of floors and type WT so right side is one make means this is ground floor like this will find a first floor but second floor view is not available will create because by default will get level 1 and level 2 because only two views from the default template file but if the building is of 10 floor will create all other views but how to create is a next step but before this room morning and you see when you click any of the view you can notice the whole building is selected why because a link file it's not this project is not open in the open state it is in the link state okay so link state means act as a single object it can be a 10 floor building 20 floor building when you select any view all the building means complete building will select because it's act as a single object okay so for drew morning click on any view the whole building will select then go for edit type here on the left side of the screen then room morning you can select this entry cocaine so you'll not find any physical change on screen but inside the software will create the boundaries for all these rooms so that we can create the spaces space how to get this space we have a separate topic we'll discuss before load calculation but if you not create this room morning we cannot think for creating the spaces and without spaces no calculation of a room area and volume so no area and volume means no load calculation [Music] next next as I said we'll add the levels so on screen we have only level 1 and level 2 first ground floor and first floor but this building is off ground floor first floor and second floor how exactly if I open any elevation you can verify for example and this is your project only when i zoom here you see zero level means ground floor this is 1st floor 2nd floor and on that roof and parapet wall ok so this building is off G+ to ground floor first floor and second floor so you can find out level 1 and level 2 in this views for example if I have talked about HVAC level 1 and level 2 means ground floor plan when you you see ground floor plan is available on the right side and when I double-click this this is the first floor plan it's a plan view it not mean that is a separate file it's a view of the same project so for one project we have multiple views not multiple files ok so this level 2 means first floor level 1 is ground floor of this building only and when i zoom this when I open level 2 means we are seeing above up to this level if I open level 1 means ground floor we're seeing from above up to this level Matthew getting my point so all these views is belongs to one building is these are not not separate files like or to get ok so we have we are dealing with the multiple views of the same building ok same you see in mechanical you will find one mech or to make even in electrical or plumbing you will find one one plumbing two plumbing so 1 means ground floor 2 means first floor of the same area so this 1 2 is same and this 2 1 2 also same location but views are multiple to avoid confusion at the time working ok but but the more about this you will get don't worry let me show you how to add your own level because in this building we have second floor and the roof also ok means we required the roof plan and the second floor plan so it's not available will create now and by default we are getting because of template file okay so how to create the new level and you see creating new level means for our to create the plan view also okay so at the time when we creating the level will also create the floor plan view and without floor plan we we cannot deal with the planning of the services right so here on screen page number 31 adding levels so to add the level let me open any elevation because level we can access from the elevation so for example I am going to open elevation which is not met we can open not electrical also but generally the default views will create in HVAC service then we'll duplicate for other services how exactly here and the command you can find out a level is for level is ll so you can follow on screen from point number 14 so let me open this North make for example and when i zoom here you see you can find entry level 0 to floor means 1st floor level 2nd floor level roof level and parapet level so when I try to click any of this left side level the whole building selected means all this level belongs to link file but when i zoom on the right side you see level 1 I can select individually level 2 also I can select individually because this 2 level is not a part of link file it is a part of the template file means is a part of our project ok so like this we are interested to create other levels and with the levels we'll get the floor plan view when we create the level means is like we are creating a section so that we can get that floor plan of that area getting a point here let me show you this but before this you see level 1 is 0 match with the entry level but 0 to floor is 12 feet as per our project but this default level is a 10 feet so first will match this so how to match very simple double click on this 10 feet and inter 12 feet automatically to larges now this level two floorplan with the level of twelve feet okay for all the views now level three and roof LAN how to create simple click on architecture architectural tab from this datum panel here you can find the tool level or is the command is ll so click on this tool then here in the option bar make sure that plan make plan view selected suppose if you not select this and if you create this level what will happen the level will create in the section but there will be no plan view for that level okay means floor plan view so we are interested to create the floor plan you also know so make sure that make plan view selected and what type of plan view floor and ceiling floor means a ball level ceiling is below level the views floor means for example you see 0 3 is a floor level is fear seen from the top and you can find up to this floor ceiling level means this one means up below this also you can find if there is a falsity we can see up to the fall ceiling so I'm interested to create ceiling plan as well as floor plan when I create what the level so make sure that this option is selected and click plan view and select the type and offset is 0 why because directly we can copy here so now you see go just take the cursor close to 0 3 floor see trees cache like ah snap in or ticket and then click and drag and align with this and now you can notice here in the project browser you can find mechanical creaking mechanical 3 nothing but level 3 means 2nd floor floor plan and the same you will find the ceiling plan also you see mechanical 3 under ceiling plan but the ceiling plan is showing under unknown category and the floor plan is showing under the floor plan category so we can shift this ceiling category under this ceiling plan later let me complete this floor plan also for the roof also same procedure they'll make sure that this ceiling and floor is selected then click on this and drag and drop or align this and now you can notice mechanical for nothing but this roof line is created and in-ceiling also is created but under unknown category so we'll categorize this so how to shift this mechanical 3 and mechanical 4 under this category ceiling plan simple so remember this option is important I am going to select this mechanical 3 and holding the control key and selecting this mechanical 4-1 met huh this 2 is selected then in the properties what you do here at this level sub-discipline I am selecting the sub - linear service so this I want to see under a cheesy service so in the properties for sub-discipline select HVAC n applying now I can notice under HVAC under ceiling plan this mechanical thean mechanical 4 is shifted right so at this level remember sub-discipline in properties later we'll talk about view classification main discipline etc step by step so simply shift the new views in the expected location because to avoid confusion because if all the new views in the unknown category means that will create a lot of confusion and now you see the name 1 make to make here mechanical three mechanical 4 we can rename this but before this when I double click this mechanical 3 you'll find the floor plan of this level you see double click now the floor plan is created of what level off I'll close this one mech then WT so left side is mechanical 3 means this level means we are seeing from the top up to this level and you get this floorplan okay similarly if I double click this mechanical 3 under ceiling plan you see type WT okay both this is a floor plan and here is a ceiling plan then when i zoom can you find this fault ceiling great fall ceiling so this view is below the slab level up to the fall ceiling any other more about this we'll discuss let me rename this options how to rename we can rename from here or as we can rename from here also so here on screen you already adjust this 10 feet to 12 feet at the beginning only you see level 2 level 3 level 4 so I'm going to rename this as level 3 select double click this and type as level space 3 and the software will ask you to rename the corresponding floor and ceiling plan also if you click yes what will happen this mechanical 3 and this mechanical theory under floor and ceiling will also rename but will rename this as separate name this should be 3 mech this should be 3 ceiling method so I will click nope so if I click no only the level name will change not the respective floor and ceiling plan you see these things are common for all the services so be careful next similarly double click this is what level 4 again no and here on the on the left side in the project browser I will rename this first let me copy this just to save time then I'm going to rename this as on paste and instead of 2 I'll change this to 3 then this is what this should be for mech right or we can write roof and again in ceiling let me copy this just to save time then right-click rename control V and this should be what three and this should be four or the roof okay and now once you copy for it for example assume that these are ten floor building if it is a ten floor building you must complete all the levels and the floor plan for all ten floors in one view first and after completing this we can duplicate from this like we can duplicate this three and four and put under electrical plumbing firefighting etc okay because we required this view in other service also so duplicating views means it not mean that is a separate separate files multiple views of the same area if I compose if I copy or if I create a duplicate of this three MEC say to ten times so all ten views is belongs to level three myths second floor plan only only the views are multiple to avoid confusion at the time working and for printers but the location and the the this the original views of original location is only one because we are dealing with the BIM concept this rivet were contained concept and BIM concept we have only single database okay any other the more about this views will get the chance to learn in even in module 4 in beaten between also so one example I show you which is not in the notes how to copy and how to duplicate and put under the new category new category means it is under mechanical the same three for ceiling of floor and ceiling we also required in plumbing or in electrical for example in electrical for article service so how to and when you check this electrical for example you see under electrical lighting one two in floor and 1/2 in ceiling we required 3 and 4 for floor as well as ceiling for electrical also so again will not create the views and the levels once we create will duplicate and put under the respect to category how one example for example 3 make right click go for duplicate view and duplicate this options we'll discuss later at this level only duplicate shall get the duplicate of this view then I am interested to put this under and lighting later we'll rename similarly right click duplicate this level for also now this 3 MEK copy and for my copy I'll I'll send or I'll stain the location to electrical how select this 3 make copy and hold the control key select form a copy in the properties first you see disciplines mechanical and this is lock wife's lock because it is linked with the view template what is view template we have a topic at this level quickly I am going to change just try to get this information but don't worry if you're not getting no issue we have a separate topic of this just I am giving the idea and this point is not in the notes I will we have a topic for this this time giving the idea to understand the concept and I create this view template nun now it is possible to change you see now the discipline I am changing to electrical first then apply when you click apply and I see it is not available here it is shifted under electrical but you see the subcategories HVAC only because I change only the discipline not the sub display so what I will do is still it is selected in the properties I change the subject line to lighting then apply now you see under electrical under lighting 3 & 4 now we can rename this has 3 lighting this is for lighting in the same way for ceiling plan also we can duplicate and change the discipline and sub-discipline if required view classification also that we'll discuss later getting my point so these are all preparation for the project before starting any service we need to create this views floor plan ceiling plan etcetera because without this floor and ceiling plan we cannot think for planning of the services ok but if only you get only 2 floor and ceiling plan as per the template file remaining you must create before starting any service [Music] next after this we have one more topic to discuss to complete this file monitoring sorry we have three more options next topic is monitoring and the architecture level monitoring is for coordination so just now we learn how to create the new level from the existing of the link file so in the link file already you find the levels and we learn how to create or how to copy that level from the existing now what we'll do the copy level and the original level from the link file we'll put under monitoring means for coordination so how to put this under monitoring very simple option I'll show you so open any elevation for example say North make for example because all the levels we can access in the elevation view now and now in a zoom left side is our original levels and right side is a copied level and right side levels we can individually copy one select one two three four but left side if you click on any of this the whole building we selected because all this left side level is belongs to link file so now we will create a link between this level one and entry level level 2 and this zero to level 3 and 0 3 and level 4 with that roof will create a link that is called monitoring for coordination why because at the time of designing if the architect or if the actor doctrinal department they change any level of any floor you'll get the information so according to that we can change the level of services at the time design stage because you know this for big project till then you will find some changes right even from the actors inside also ok so if you need changes in level especially and you know the importance of levels because if the architect change the level of any slab it will affect all the of all the services right you know the importance of levels on-site or in even in design also so for coordination will put this level under monitoring how simple zoom out first and make sure that when you take this cursor close to this building you can able to see the green blue color it can be any color because at present in my system the blue color as a default for pre selection you see this selects this color is called pre selection and when I click the selection color also blue in my system what I set but we can change quickly I'll change the stored confusion later I'll show you how to change these colors we have a separate topic at this level suppose selection color I am changing it to red pre selection is blue so now you see pre selection when you take the cursor close to the object if you get the blue color means pre selection and when you click it's the selection so if it is zoom in like this you cannot see the previous pre selection color so first you zoom out to our confusion and make sure that the pre selection colors are visible then we can go for monitoring so how to delay the monitoring click on collaborate tap from this coordinate panel copy monitor drop down go for use so select link and click anywhere here in the building means I'm going to select this link selecting link means I am selecting all this original levels so click anywhere it will select and it will get the option tools tool panel under this click on this monitor then zoom will select level one click on level one and parallely click on entry level you can find this symbol for monitoring now this level one and entry level in under coordination miss under monitoring next level two continuation don't click finish continue level 2 then 0 to floor you can find this simple level 3 and 0 3 you can find the symbol same way level 4 and this you'll find this then after completing for example if it is a 10 floor building complete for all the floors then finally click finish now all this level under monitoring how to verify this you can select with the cross polygon selection then you can verify this symbol you see all this levels are monitored the monitoring right so in this vacant monitor so now for example if if the level change by the architect because we are using this file as a link file so they can open and they can update if they update if they change the level you will get the message but I this level I cannot show you because I'm not using with the Internet and finally I don't have a system now to open that file and to changes and save and but in actual practice you know all the system is connected with the Internet and it's currently linked with the server so if the architect on this file you see in this in our project this file is a link but the a cadet can open that file and if they open if they change any level you will get the message coordination message so I cannot show you now but I can show you if you change from your side you see if the level is changed from the a cadet will get the message or by mistake if you change this level the copy level you will get the coordination alert monitor message for example this 24 by mistake if I change this to 26 feet you will get the message coordination alert monitor alert level move to two feet the same message you will get if the architecture in the level and if they change means according to that architectural building means building level you need to update your services right so let me update this back to forfeit 24 feet okay [Music] [Music] after monitoring we have two more very important option to discuss and this is again common for all the services the option is called VG visibility graphics visibility graphics for learning point of view we can consider like layers in AutoCAD we have layers just for example VG is a means you'll find number of options in that to show or hide the component services etc just for example to get the concept I am comparing this with the layers in AutoCAD in in AutoCAD when we create the levels for drying and after using that layers for different components if you want to switch off that particular component we can switch off that layer right in the same way in Revit we can use VG visibility graphics to show or hide the components the service etc for example if you're working for a tree service you don't want to see the electrical panels you don't want to see the electric component so electrical component we can switch off using VG but we cannot delete Y because all this services everything in one project so you are not allowed to delete any component if you delete any component from any of you to leave it from the project but we can hide to avoid confusion and whenever for coordination point of use required begins to turn for example before placing the diffuser you must check the location of light fixtures and in you know this you must wait to place the diffuser till the completion of light fixture arrangement so if the light picture I have in me design in the project but you are dealing with the HVC view for example you know there's different views or mechanical HVAC floorplan view in that the light picture is not visible because in VG will switch off but for coordination before placing the diffuser you must know the location of light picture so what we'll do we'll type VG we switch on the light pictures so that you can find the position of the light fixture according to that we can arrange the diffuser so VG is to show the components is to hide the component hide the combine to avoid confusion show the component for coordination and at the end for installation we require the separate layout for ducting substrate for piping separate for equipment separate for lighting etcetera in that case also VG will be very useful because will hide the unnecessary things components before taking the print for the required service so I think got the importance of visibility graphics VG now I'll show you how to use this very simple you see the command is VG or as we can get this from View tab from graphic panel with graphics or simply type VG is the command and now you find the window so don't get panic with all these options till the end for all the services we'll use this and the concept is simple we can hide or show the options suppose if you don't want to see the doors we can hide this doors if you don't want to see the windows or the walls or the building we can switch off all that for example as per the requirement but now at this level I mean - I'm interested to switch off the level original level because we already copied the level so to avoid confusion I want to hide this level we cannot delete this you don't have permission to delete and even we cannot delete because a part of link link file ok so we cannot delete this even if you can delete it's not allowed to delete because belongs to other service means the same inside means architect inside so how to hide this and you see this left side level is a part of what link file so in the VG find out rivet links here we will talk about this options also but at this level we are interested to hide this level which is belongs to link file so find out the tab called link rivet and remember this tab will appear only if there is any link file in the project if there is no link in file in the project means this you will not find this option so that also reason you must follow the order suppose if without linking that file if you type VG and if you are trying to find out this link rivet tab you'll not get this tab because automatically the software will change the appearance as per the project condition okay so first link that file then only can when you type video get this option or this tab rivet links so click the save it link and click buy host view you will get the window in this window I am going to click custom custom means to customize for changes and the levels comes under which category remember levels text dimensions no set cetera all comes on the annotation category so you must know this category anyhow when we use this project when we deal with the software you get the idea and all model components comes under model category so level comes in the annotation category so click annotation category again click custom then only can able to change this option and in the list find out levels type L you see all the options related to L is available here so I'm going to hide this like switching off the layer then click OK and ok now you see the level the original level is hidden it's not deleted we just hide ok and after we can rearrange this right now in the same way I don't want to see this trees also and I don't want to see this you see this footings in all which is not required for the services so you can type V Jenny can switch off but if you want the same feasibility setting for the other view for example if I open this level one floorplan and in this level of our floorplan also I don't want to see this trees and all option which what I said in the section view so again I type I can type VG and you can I can hide all these options because remember or if you only can make a note of this this is important point you can write with visibility graphics in bracket VG visibility graphics in bracket VG is limited to current view current view means when we set the visibility setting for this elevation view miss is limited to elevation it will not change the plant view okay so VG is limited to the current view only so when I activate this on screen the current view is what not make elevation so when I type VG the visibility is setting will change for the current view not to the other views but I want the same setting for other views then again I need to type VG and do the settings now so here we have one more option to save the time the next option the advanced of VG is view template okay getting a point so view template view template is a set of visibility and will create with the name and that can be applied for any view as per requirement to save the time okay so here in page number 34 you can write V view template in bracket setup visibility this don't get confused this is not view template view template sorry this is not template file template file what we learn yesterday what we learn that was template file consists of the settings using the project but this is called view template not the template file template file is different it's a separate file but view template is a set of visibility with a particular name within the project only so view template in bracket you can write setup' visibility or setup VG visibility graphics so to save time is K we can create our own view template how to create I will show you now so in order to create the view template the shortcut you see one more point how to verify the current view on the screen in the project browser you see current view always show with the bold letters can you see the difference between the thickness of the phone not make with the bolder Trishna it means the current view for example if I click on this theme a copy this will be this is the active active you will show in the bold letters okay so you can verify like this so the current view is not neck so in order to create the view template we have a shortcut right click you see apply create view template this is one option or is the actual views click on View tab from the graphic panel view template drop down create template from current view click this and name for example this view template I am going to create for mechanical service so make view for example click OK you will get this view new new view template in the list all other view template is a default from the software that also will use but at present let me show you how to create so when you see the new via templates available now will configure the settings and at this level I am going to hide this tree this base in this foldings etc for what again for the link file right the settings for the linked file so on the right side under this edit find out the link file option you see VG overwrite are with links later we can update this model annotation etc this option related to the project but in the project we have not add anything yet so we are interested to change the visibility or create the view template for that link file for the linked file visibility so find out our whit link and click Edit you will get the VG only same and then here I'm going to hide what under mortal category again click custom and I'm interested to hide say parking I don't want to see the parking I don't want to see the plant I don't want to see this roads site and the landscaping topography ok I hide all this if you want you can hide other options also just for example click OK and ok and ok you'll not find any change on screen because just now we create the view template now we'll apply how to apply and again two ways right click shortcut apply template or else click on the View tab from the graphic panel view template drop down apply and from the list we can select so in the list is available now you see when I click OK you can notice the plants are not visible the the footings are not visible etc this can be done with the video also then why the use of view template now the same setting if you want for any other view we can use that view template to save the time so this advantage of VG view template how I'll show you now you see the current views one make copy Norris I'll open one make in this also I want to apply the same visibility settings so right click apply select the same if not ever loved in the list go for all 1 make view click OK now you see the plants in all is hidden in the same way if you want the same setting for only any other view say 3d view in the 3d view of which is in mechanical you can find the side row 2 parking set I don't want to see all this so right click apply RS from here apply then same view template click OK you see the settings what we add will apply here in this view to save the time so V view template is a VG only it's a set of visibility to save the time and the same setting if you want you can apply for any of you using that same view template ok [Music] in today's session I will discuss about system settings system settings means project settings we have two types of settings one is a software setting we can call system settings and the other is of project project settings okay project setting is related to project and is not same for other project but if you talk about systems I think means software setting once you set the software setting will be same for all the project simple decision is we can also call as general settings for example if I want to change the background color or if I want to change the selection color resolution color file locations and just now we will learn this how to can make the default content all comes under this system settings okay so it's not lengthy and is not required to update the setting all the time when it's required for example if I if I relate this with AutoCAD you know AutoCAD in AutoCAD we have opie in Rivet we have this system sister settings or the software settings and this setting is not required to update or set all the time once you set will be same for all the project and if required as per the user if you want to customize as per your requirement then only we can access or else will not disturb this okay so you can find this software settings so or the system sitting in page number 30s from 35 you see he and modifying system settings and system setting means the software settings it's not project settings okay so here I have not highlighted because this is a these are all general things quickly I'll show you on the screen you'll get the idea okay so I will start first with the background color for example let me open one existing file and you know how to create a shortcut of this so I'm going to open in an existing file for example say piping 0 it just to show these options for example here you can find out the background color is white I'm interested to change this to black or blue or any other color till 2015 version or sorry till 2012 version the background color option was only black or white but from 2013 onwards we can select any color from the list so how to access this option bar or this settings in rivet click on this file menu file menu means in software you'll find this as application menu you know this application menu means you'll get this icon right so when you get this icon in the notes it means we are talking about file menu or technical it's the application menu ok so click on the application menu you know this I already explained it that's the beginning whenever get this icon consider this as file menu nothing but application menu and when you click this you'll get the option here how exactly simple click on this file menu then here you'll find the options when you click this options you get that window in this window you will find the list of options on the left side so let me start with the general and you see all these options also not required all the time for example if you talk about our or take it again in options o P will not set all this settings now will setting only the limited as per the requirement similarly I'll I'll used I will show you the limited option which is commonly used in the software settings okay so here when you click this general tab or the general option here left side on the right side you'll find you see save reminder interval but before this quickly the background and the color selection because most commonly will do will do change in this so click on this graphics and here you can find the background color default is white so I'm interested to change to for example black I'm gonna click OK now you see the background color is black if you're comfortable comfortable with the color you can go with this okay like black color me is like working with the model ordered space similarly you see when I open any plan view say level one when I take the cursor close to this you can find the border color is what blue right so this is called pre selection color and when I click on anywhere and since this link file so it's act as a single object you see when I click it's showing a red color so that color is what celestial color so we have two option pre selection and selection color plus we have error color also in case of any error any disconnection in pipe or something you have this color for error to that you'll get to when we deal with the errors but here at this level please selection color and when you click this is solution color okay so here click on this file options again go to graphics here you see selection color is red for example I am changing the selection color to say blue and the solution colors say magenta for example and you see other color is like orange and calculation is see on so at this level I'm showing this two options selection and pre selection so selection is blue and bridge selection in magenta click OK now you see three selections now is magenta and selection is blue background color you can select any for example on selecting black and you see selection colors blue please please selection is magenta for example so now the selection is pre selection is magenta and selection is what blue and apart from this can you find the layer of color here the blue color with a transparent type so this option is called pre selection so now you see this is pre semi-transparent option when i zoom here you can find the transparent color okay and you can find the units behind this so this is called pre selection I'll show you you see let me just remove this pre selection color when I remove you'll find you see at present selected when I click OK now still it is selected because of blue color but there is no semi-transparent option okay give me now active and I you see resurrection then selection so selection now with a blue color but there is no background color so there is no semi-transparent option but when I activate the semi-transparent option you will get the it will show you the single object with that you see like this so generally this semi transparent option will create confusion so the inactive actual practice will switch off this if you only can sit on is all related to appearance so I'll switch off this then background color again I am changing to white okay so these are some options related to the graphics in the same way we have some more options to discuss in options so go to the options again and you will see in general tab on the right side you'll find first option save reminder interval in rivet we don't have autosave option like you not to care or MS Office in AutoCAD when you said to autosave say 15 minutes or 10 minutes automatically after ten or fifteen minutes the file will save automatically but here in Revit you'll get the reminder to save or not suppose if I set the reminder 15 minutes at every 15 minutes and the time of working with the software you will get the reminder and whether you want to save your work or not if you say yes it will save or else no so there is no directly autosave option this is before that you'll get the demander okay but this level I'm selecting no reminder because we are learning so it will create configure it will gate disturbance in between it every 15 minutes or 30 minutes you will get the reminder option so this will create disturbance in learning when in actual practice you can set as per your requirement similarly the next option is synchronized with central reminder interval this option is to update your work with the central file so I think remember in the last class we discussed we are dealing with the project and all the user file link with the central file and how to deal with the central file also we have a separate topic where at this level central file means the file which will be available in the server and all the user file with the user system is connected with that and if the user one adding some components for example as a mechanical you are adding diffusers and after say 30 minutes you are going to synchronize with the central for example again we get the reminder when you click when you accept that and click synchronize it will update your work will update in the central file and after suppose 15 minutes again user to add electrical light pictures and they update in the server so they will also get the information what we update ok and suppose after some time again user 1 add some equipments and synchronize with the server so what what information available from other user in the Central Valley Center file will also update in user 1 and user 1 information will update to the central file so that seriesin we used to call synchronize not update okay so anyhow we have a separate topic for this at this level just set the reminder when you want to get the reminder to update your work to the central file so at this level again I'm selecting no reminder because of our confusion because we are learning so at the time of learning you will get this messages if you select this time marine actual practice set as per your requirement okay next username this is also important anyhow username automatically the software will catch as per the system user and system user will all assign by IT people and this username in all is important to the design manager to assign the permission to work work sets etc okay so this level just remember username also important but how to use this is a next level next similarly we have this user interface the next option in the user interface you'll find all this taps you see actor should have structure to have system type etc for example if you don't want to see this article insist this system structure tab we can remove from this you see if when I remove this click OK now you can notice the software start from the system tab the architectural and structural tab is not visible so in interview also they may wantedly remove these options so that they will check whether you can able to activate or not so I can go to this options then or else they are using with their own settings and suppose at the time of working in the mechanical settings we required this a crystal type also to use some tools like levels and if the actors will perhaps are if not visible and then if you know commands ok you can use commands but if you don't know commands then it will be difficult so go for user user interface then you can activate this but structural is not required but anyway I am using the default option so you can switch on and off the visibility of the taps from this user interface ok next directly I'll jump to this file locations this is important you see these are the default location for the template construction template after still template etc when you install the software by default the software will set all this location in the c drive program Falak cetera but in actual practice if you want to change the location of this files you can click on this and click browse and you can set your own location for the templates but if only see the same template locations you as Imperial and you a simple comes under this template and then our VT 2020 then authorized etc user location but if you want to set your own location for example all the template file in one drive of your system you can set the location so whenever you click a new file or open sorry whenever you click the new file and you want to access the template file by default you'll get the set location any will not disturb this at this level but if you already can set your own locations plus one more important here places but before you see a default location for the project when you save when you whenever you click Save but if I will get the document location if you want to again you can set your own drives or own location similarly for template file from where you want to access then you see route path for point clouds so if you are dealing with the cloud computing so if the server is an octonaut the local server if it is a cloud server I think you know what is cloud server means the server not in the not in the office it's somewhere the consultant purchased that space from some provider and that space used to upload all this file and they can access from anywhere ok like cloud computing so it's the cloud server so you need to set this any hall this will set by the IT people in if you work in a consultant and if you working with a single system then you can set with your own then here one important point here places physically this places these are the location for the default library files and most of the time you may find the problem with this elaborate fire also when you click insert you may not get the required folder or location in that we can set again you see the default location is again is set where the software is the time installation but sometimes you do not set then click this and browse and show the location of that library so that whenever you click insert and load from library you'll get this default location so if you have your own content library then you can assign this location so when you click insert you'll get this location ok or sometimes we'll set this to default if not set by the software ok so these are some options related to this options in software or software settings ok and apart from this when you click this view sorry when you click this annotate you will get this dimension option or when you click this manage tab here snap settings like AutoCAD you can set all these options as for the requirement the default or you can set this in the template file also ok so these are some system settings and when you set will be same for all the project it's not project settings so if required you can set this before starting your project or when you install the software first time you can customize this as per your requirement to proceed ok so these are some system setting you can try this now with this information to be ready to start model one HVAC what we did till now is common for all the services now we are dealing with the now we are going to deal with the you see mechanical system creating a mechanical system in that first HVAC and model 1 I'm considering his HVAC and - you know electrical and module 3 is combined plumbing and firefighting and module 4 is detailing documentation annotation plus families creative working with the 3d interesting component which is common for all the services ok and if you talk if you compare this model one two three and four module one and four is lengthy model two is electrical is not that much lengthy like model one and three is combined plumbing for fitting the even the combined plumbing firefighting is not lengthy like HVAC model so you know anyhow in MEP services HV she's a major and the big service so this model one I divided into three sections or three parts you see part one I am considering load calculation and part two in part two you'll find each side eight systems like ducting it used a terminus etcetera and in part three we'll discuss or will deal with chilled water or hot water piping system okay so I divided this model one into three sections [Music] okay so in today's session let me start this module one part for load calculation okay and so you see before starting with the load calculation you must know about the building like location like number of floors like different space etcetera so you must do the building survey without building survey you know you cannot think to deal with designing of any service right so here some points related to building survey for load calculation so what I'll do before starting this HVC model one load part for load calculation let me open the building of means project of your building of your project then we'll just verify this points okay you see at the time working we are going to link the 3d Inclusion building but in order to deal with the building survey we can open that file okay this to study and when you open the file make sure that you are not going to disturb or delete any components and you're not supposed to do that okay well that not belongs to your service so here I'm going to open this simply you see at this level when I click here is what it is a link file right and how can how we can verify because when you click this the it's act as a single object and in the project browser also when you scroll you can find it's a link file right so what I'll do I am going to close this file and now I'm going to directly open this 3d engine building and how I got this from the architect you know this right so without getting this 3d engine building from architect we cannot deal with the services we have alternate option also if the architect is not using the Revit software and and they are not dealing with the building in rivet software still they are using C or ticket and they are offering this or ticket miss rivet architectural files in AutoCAD format or DWG format so that also can be Lincoln rivet that also option but you see if you use the cat file architecture CAD file to Lincoln rivet there are some limitation to use or to deal with the project means we cannot think for load calculation if you link cat file may sakit racial cat file if you link in rivet because that is only a line diagram now that can be used for reference for ducting piping etcetera but we cannot think for load calculation because there is no wall there is no window there is wall window only in the drawing but there is no there is no comprehension of the wall of door window etc so fake you not find out the u values and the software cannot find out the area etcetera so you cannot think for load calculation if you import this are crucial as CAD file ok but if you import the 3/9 region building this by architect then the 3d intelligent building have the wall window roof slab etc with that with the properties like actual suppose the wall with the u-value wall with the thickness so that the software can use that you value and I think you know what is you know overall coefficient of heat transfer so that the software can cal calculate and the software can calculate the area and automatically the orientation it will cache because the 3d intelligent building with a orientation with the actual location the kitchen also will set so if you are not using this RVT means three 3d increase in building file in the project for services we cannot deal with the load calculation but we can go for ducting piping and placing other components etc for for coordination for the installation but if you is if you link the 3d increase in building and then we can delete the load calculation so the actual procedure to use the RVT file from the architect so that we can start the project right from the load calculation in HVAC so these are some limitations and some advantage and disadvantage of using this cat or the rivet file in for services okay so at this level I'm going to open you see I'm not going to link just I'm going to open for what just to study just to verify the parameters for building survey then only I can start the HVC service okay because if you don't know about the building location application the number of floors the type of spaces etc we cannot think to plan for any service right so here click on open and you know this how to create the shortcut of this folder so Hunter mechanical you'll find this arc link model so directly I'm going to open not link link option is different here I'm going to open so click open so when you open it act as a complete building and you see when i zoom here I can able to select individually this wall this door the staircase etcetera because not a link file now okay and just I open to verify so how to verify first we'll check ok you can verify here I already have given the points project application is a school I will get this from the architect any event as zoom here you can find you see instruction miss classroom these are all classroom and here we have this media review in music type of Open Office or this admin area and if I open level say level one in this will find conference instruction instruction with all classrooms then level say level two you'll find computer lab here the drafting again one more computer lab you have one more computer lab so it's a school project including this cafeteria launch etcetera so first parameter is application any or when you get the project from the architect you will get the application so it is a school project what we are dealing with next location locations to Manchester NH say UK location and you see location is important for load calculation because you know the space on the location the software will set the latitude longitude elevation and weather condition which are very very important parameter for load calculation ok so you see address is different and location is different in rivet we'll set the address and that address is only for information in the report but you see when you set the location the software will catch all the technical parameter for load calculation and I believe everyone know load calculation right so in load calculation you know the importance of that latitude longitude elevation and this weather condition like drivable wet-bulb range etc so when you set the location the software will automatically catch all these parameters so this is important so for this project to the location same as the Saanich and after completing this you can set your own location to verify the results for example if you set the location related to say any golf location you'll find more cooling load and less heating load and if you said any location belongs to the western country like UK US or Australia or Canada you'll find more heating load and less cooling load ok so you can compare this later after completing this project with this location ok so this is this example I'll use this - 210 it and this will be available in the list if not in the list we have option to select from the Google map also I'll show you when I deal with this next you see number of floor is a ground floor plus 2 so G Plus 2 and remember in rivet level one refers to cron flow so don't get confused so level 1 means I am NOT talking about first floor level 1 is a Quran for level 2 is the first floor level 3 second floor I'll show you now so how to verify this levels and you see levels we can verify either in the section or elevation right so let me open any elevation from this project and all this done by architect all this information so double-click this North elevation and when a zoom you can find the level you see 0 1 entry level is a ground floor zero - is first floor zero three is four second floor and roof level and hear about this parapet level okay the same we can find verify in the section we also next so this thing important so remember level one is a ground floor not first floor unless you see floor to floor height you can verify here entry level is zero FFL then second floor first floor is at 12 feet then 2436 miss floor to floor is 212 feed the same information and as per the client requirement in this project you see false ceiling height is 8 feet or as for the interior and falling only at level 2 means first floor there is no fault seeing at level 1 ground floor there is no faulting at level 3 or 2nd floor falling only at level 2 so we are not bothered about this this as per the client or interior requirement right anyhow we'll get the advantage we'll learn how to place the a terminals like diffusers and how to place the light picture with false ceiling and without faltering you will get the option to learn both the options okay and for that reason there is no faltering in level 1 and level 3 Falls in level 2 any other decision of all ceiling as per the client interior etcetera okay so here you see the options now what you do the homework you need to open this file how I open just now an access level 1 for example and just verify this spaces this get familiar with this project for example 1 when i zoom here here's a staircase and in this in this corridor first we have this conference then classroom all these classrooms then here restroom then elliptical room launch then stay case one mistake is here then classroom conference instruction etc so just open this and just go miss just get idea about your project because if you not study this it's difficult to plan with any service similarly open zero to floor zero three floor etcetera and get the idea about the spaces the interns etcetera anyhow when when we use this in the project will access all these levels will access all this level and will verify all this but from your side if you just open this different levels and if you just verify that will add advantage when I for example when I say this a computer lab at level two so you can understand how it's available at first floor level two computer labs so for some components we'll use computer lab for placing some components we'll use lab ready for placing some light fixtures we use this drafting etcetera so we'll access the all the floors for different components for different spaces for learning ok so after this session open this file and just get the idea about this project open this don't link link will do when we did with the project just you open to verify and you see apart from this when you open the 3d view you'll get the actual colors previously when you even it was linked it was with a background color now you see with the actual colors and you can individually select all these components but anyhow don't delete this don't disturb any of this component okay so these are about the building survey [Music]
