MEP systems, such as ducts, pipes and cable trays control certain attributes of elements belonging to the same system. The MEP Modeler uses MEP systems to represent a group of elements that are handled together, making the creation and editing much more efficient and consistent. All relevant standard ARCHICAD objects will be extended with smart connection points as well as specific MEP related parameters. This library contains specially configured MEP elements that include smart connection points for automatic connection during routing of MEP systems. The Graphisoft MEP Modeler ships with a rich MEP specific object library. MEP elements are parametric for easy configuration of custom dimensions.The MEP Toolbox provides a dedicated set of tools to create components of the various MEP systems:Įquipment and terminals for automatic connection at the intake and the output locations of the MEP systems.

The MEP Modeler consists of a rich set of capabilities in the areas for modeling, editing and coordination: MEP Toolbox Its powerful modeling & coordination capabilities in combination with the above workflows make the MEP Modeler the solution for architects to help drive more efficiency in the building process.

In addition to this generic IFC interface, the MEP Modeler package provides an improved connection with AutoCAD® MEP via IFC format, using an export plug-in called ARCHICAD Connection.ĢD Workflow – Based on 2D documentation received from engineers, architects can use the powerful built-in tools to create and edit the MEP model within ARCHICAD

The Graphisoft MEP Modeler™ can be used in the following workflows:īIM Workflow – Where the MEP engineer can provide 3D data, architects are able to import the consultant’s MEP model into ARCHICAD using the IFC format. Architectural practices and architectural departments of A/E firms using ARCHICAD can use MEP Modeler to create, edit or import 3D MEP networks (ductwork, piping and cable trays) and coordinate them within ARCHICAD. The MEP (Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing) Modeler is an integral extension to ARCHICAD and now included free.
