The practices in Chapters 2 and 3 are built around a simple model that includes elements from the three primary disciplines of HVAC, Plumbing (shown below), and Electrical.Īfter this point the practices focus on building the model that will be used throughout the rest of the guide.

Early chapters include inserting MEP components and connecting the components (ducts, pipes, conduit) as well as covering the concept of systems along with standard tools like drawing aids and modify commands. This order of topics suits how Revit MEP users work in the software rather than just standard Revit tool grouping. (Trainers – of course you add a demo between the topic and practice.) Reorganized Content The Basics – Chapters 1-5 – All Disciplines Specifically, to make the training guides work better with the ACI (Autodesk Certified Instructor) guidelines, I separated out the practices so you typically teach a short topic and follow it up with a practice that focuses on that topic.

Some improvements I made across the board with all the Revit training guides and through all chapters of MEP.

Applying MEP-specific processes rather than general Revit tool grouping.

This year, for the Autodesk Revit 2016 MEP Fundamentals training guide, I focused on several areas: By Martha Hollowell - Senior Instructional DesignerĮvery year I update our training guides with anything new in the software release while also making each guide more useful than the last.
