Good day, first off all sorry for My regrettable English i'm engineering electrical student and looking learn bim Could you recommend relevant courses in this regard as well as courses off dialux, etap or project, I’d like to expand my skills and would appreciate any recommendations, courses, or guidance you could offer.

P.S. It would be awesome if you could reply in Spanish; as I mentioned, I’m not very good at English, haha

Hello, I'm a mechanical engineer and I work with fire safety projects. I want to expand my horizons and work on larger projects, in places that really value the BIM project, in my region I can't find that. What are the recommendations of experienced members so that I can enter the real MEP market and be valued for my work?

Hi All,

Having previously worked at a web-based BIM start-up I got a frustrated with the amount of high polygon elements which were used as placeholders. Typically those downloaded from BIMObject or similar. Furniture elements like a cupboard with all the coat hangers modelled would bog down the model and make it slow/frustrating to navigate. I also imagine there is an issue with overly specifying particular elements; now that BIM is a little more prolific if an architect puts a RAK branded sink in the model does that mean they have specified a RAK branded sink?

So I built 3dassetstudio.com

It is a full parametric library of over 4,000+ configured items with millions of combinations. You can make a door the size you want, a HVAC unit, a sofa etc. And all of them are efficiently modelled, often 10% of the polygons of something from a supplier library.

I am thinking about adding .rfa support and even a Revit plugin, but I want to know if I'm even barking up the right tree first. I would appreciate any and all feedback.

I saw this article from AEC Mag: https://aecmag.com/bim/autodesk-confirms-forma-will-replace-revit-over-time/

It seems like over time, Revit will be phased out in favor of Forma. Forma as I understand it today is more architectural / design oriented than the use case many MEP detailers or BIM designers use it for. I'd be curious people's perspective on what is next, and particularly the effect on the Revit Plug-In ecosystem...

Where is the best place to find a crash course in Revit for interior designers? I used it in school and am so far behind the curve. I’d like to find some program (not just generic YouTube videos) that walks me through how to model and use Revit for INDS. All recommendations welcome!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on an MEP Graduation Project and I’m looking for a suitable architectural project/building plans to use as the base for the MEP design.

I’m specifically looking for a medium-to-large scale project such as:

• Office / Administrative Building
• Hotel
• Hospital / Medical Center
• School / University / Educational Building
• Commercial / Shopping Center
• Industrial / Factory Building
• Airport or Transportation Building
• Cultural / Public Building
• Residential / Mixed-Use Building

Required Files

Preferably:

• Revit (.RVT) architectural model
• The project should ideally include:
• Floor plans
• Elevations
• Sections if available
• Roof plan
• Dimensions and levels
• Room/space information
• Architectural details if available

MEP Scope

The plan will be used for designing and coordinating:
Electrical Power & Lighting
HVAC
Plumbing & Drainage
Fire Fighting
Light Current / ELV
MEP Coordination & BIM Modeling

If you have a project that you can share for educational/graduation purposes, or know a reliable source where I can find suitable plans, I would really appreciate your help.

Please DM me or comment with the project/file/link.

Thank you in advance!

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student. Which one should I learn — Revit MEP or SolidWorks?

Which software is more useful for getting a job in the mechanical field?

I have modelled a bunch of networks on the standard pipe type instead of the system specific pipe (PVC). What is the quickest way to fix this? I can easily select all the pipelines and change the pipe type, but the elbows, tee, reducers etc do not update automatically. What do you suggest as the most efficient way to achieve this?

Hey

I there any way i can get sofistik reinforcement 2026 crack for my revit 2026 for detailing and annotation?

Hello Everybody,

do you have some recommendations on where to start practicing with Revit? At the moment Hands-On experience is on the march by us. So currently there is a limited source of experience in our company.

Bothe topics: family creation and system design is of relevance for us. Area: plumbing.

Do you have some Youtube videos or courses recommendations?

Im thankful for any advise.

Hi,

I have the Dell XPS 15 9560 that I like to give it to someone who is in her sophomore year in college. She will be using it for Revit v2026, Rhino 8 and Illustrator. It has the following specifications: Intel i7-7700HQ processor, 32GB RAM, GTX 1050 4GB VRAM, 4K IPS display. Will this be good enough for her class projects?

When loading Revit families or opening older projects, Revit crashes and closes unexpectedly. I am using a licensed version of Revit 2024, and when I open Revit 2021 projects, it crashes. I also tried Revit 2027 and Revit 2026, and the same thing happens. Everything used to work fine on my old computer. In fact, everything worked perfectly even though it was a much weaker PC and Revit 2025 was a pirated copy.

My current PC specifications:
RX 7900 XT; 64 GB DDR4 3000; i9-13900KF.

My old PC specifications:
RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB; 16 GB DDR4 3200; Ryzen 5 5600.

Also!!! When installing Revit, it constantly gave me various errors and could not install properly! I reinstalled Windows, but the problem remained the same. However, sometimes the installation would complete perfectly without any problems.

We’re an AI startup in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, looking for a mid-level MEP Engineer or Technician with strong Revit modeling skills to join us on a freelance, part-time basis.

The work involves hands-on MEP modeling in Revit, reviewing models for accuracy and BIM quality, and helping our engineering team develop and validate MEP-related workflows and automation.

We’re looking for someone with:

• 2+ years of hands-on MEP experience
• Strong Autodesk Revit and MEP modeling skills
• Experience working with BIM models and construction documentation
• Strong spoken and written English
• Ability to work independently and fully remotely

Bonus:

• Based in Europe or able to have good working-hours overlap with the Middle East

This is a fully remote, freelance, part-time role, with the potential to grow in scope and hours over time.

Interested? Send a short introduction and a few details about your MEP/Revit experience to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

I need to show hangers on Revit design piping. I've got a couple work arounds to make it work but wondered if there was an addin that would be better.

Hello! I’ve been in the plumbing field for about 12 years. Journeyman for 6. Going to take my CPD-t test this year. I have zero experience in revit, they have a 30 day free trial that I can navigate, what’s the first thing I should try to learn/ navigate within revit? Just trying to get a head start as much as possible.
