Revit Interoperability

Import an Architectural model from Revit into an environment designed with MEP engineering as the focus, modify MEP design to accommodate new layouts, then synchronize MEP changes back to a Revit model.

Or, mock up SD level layouts prior to receiving detailed Revit models.

Here, we’re integrating with Revit by using a simple add-in.

We’re abstracting away the heavy weight of Architectural tools into an environment with MEP design as the focus.

From here, we’ll import the model into THRUX, where we will be able to design a code-compliant system.

Well what can we do with this imported model?

Let's say we want to supply power for every room on the third floor.

Well we've already extracted all of the rooms from the Revit model.

Now we can filter them by floor, group them together, and create a load package.

This package is a bulk load and will be attached to the distribution board serving the third floor.

Now suppose the Architect or Owner would like to change the program by changing these rooms from Office to Retail.

From here, we can see a flag being raised, and it says that this board is undersized since the load has changed. Let's switch to our load flow view to get a better look at our system.

DB-3 is pretty undersized. So let's increase the capacity of this board from 225A to 600A. That doesn't seem to be enough so we're going to need to go with the next standard size up which is 800A.

Now our system is clear of flags, we have no code-violations, and we’re ready to submit our design.
