MEP Hangers

Introduction

When it comes to designing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems in Autodesk® Revit®, efficiency and accuracy are key. That's where the MEP Hangers plugin comes in. With its powerful BIM capabilities, this plugin enables users to easily place hangers, supports, and connections for MEP systems, saving time and ensuring precision throughout the design and construction process.

Seamless Integration and Customization

One of the standout features of MEP Hangers is its seamless integration with Revit and IFC structural/architectural links. This means that users can easily collaborate with other disciplines, even those who are not using Revit. This level of interoperability promotes effective project coordination, allowing teams to identify and eliminate clashes and mistakes at the design stage, resulting in substantial cost savings down the line.

Furthermore, MEP Hangers provides a complementary library of commonly used hangers and supports, making it easy for users to jump right into using the app. These pre-built elements can be modified as needed or users can create their own to accurately represent real-world products. It's worth noting that this library is available even during the free trial period, ensuring that users can fully explore the capabilities of the plugin before committing.

Efficient Placement and Modification

With MEP Hangers, the process of placing hangers and supports becomes a breeze. The plugin allows users to place hundreds of hangers and supports per minute, significantly reducing design time while maintaining accuracy. Whether the MEP elements are horizontal, vertical, or sloped, MEP Hangers can accommodate them with ease. Additionally, users can create multi-level supports, providing flexibility for complex system layouts.

Updating hangers and supports is also a simple task thanks to the one-click update feature. This ensures that any modifications made to the MEP system are instantly reflected in the hangers, saving valuable time and effort. Furthermore, hangers can be placed by spacing, automatically connecting to surrounding elements for enhanced stability and coordination.

Precise Bills of Materials and Enhanced Analysis

MEP Hangers goes beyond just placement and modification. The plugin offers the ability to extract precise bills of materials, ensuring that project teams have accurate quantities of required parts. This not only reduces waste but also saves money by eliminating the need for excess ordering.

Moreover, MEP Hangers provides the option to export 3D model information, which can be used for mapping drilling points on-site or for compatibility with drilling robots. This seamless integration of digital information and on-site processes enhances productivity and accuracy during construction.

Additionally, the plugin allows users to extract Revit data from both MEP and structural elements, providing valuable insights for analysis and scheduling. With more visibility and size controls for hangers, project teams can better visualize the system layout and make informed decisions.

Conclusion

MEP Hangers is a game-changer when it comes to placing hangers, supports, and connections for MEP systems in Revit. Its ease of use, extensive features, and seamless integration with Revit make it an indispensable tool for MEP professionals. By streamlining the design process, eliminating clashes, and ensuring precision, MEP Hangers empowers users to deliver projects efficiently and accurately.

If you are an MEP professional looking to enhance your Revit workflow, I highly recommend giving MEP Hangers a try. Its powerful capabilities, customizable library, and time-saving features will undoubtedly revolutionize the way you design and coordinate MEP systems. Don't miss out on this invaluable plugin that can take your projects to new heights of efficiency and accuracy.
