Endra

Endra is a powerful Revit plugin that seamlessly connects to the Endra platform, allowing users to import MEP device placements directly into their Autodesk Revit projects. With the ability to map imported units to existing Revit family types and an easy-to-use interface, Endra simplifies the process of integrating MEP data into your Revit models.

Importing MEP Device Placements

One of the key features of Endra is its ability to import MEP device placements from the Endra platform into your Revit project. To begin the import process, users must have an active Endra account and an active project to import MEP placements. The add-in authenticates access to your Endra workspace, ensuring a secure connection between the two platforms.

During the import process, users can select the Endra project they want to import from and choose data from the latest snapshot. The mapping dialog allows users to match Endra unit types to their existing Revit family types, streamlining the integration of MEP data into their Revit models. Additionally, users can save mapping profiles for future use, making it easy to reuse settings for similar projects.

Once the mapping is complete, users can import the units into their Revit model. Endra ensures that units snap to faces within Revit where applicable, providing a seamless transition of MEP device placements into the project.

IFC Export Option

In addition to importing MEP device placements, Endra offers a convenient IFC export option that allows users to export an IFC file using a configuration that works best with Endra. This feature enables users to easily share project data with others who may not have access to the Endra platform.

The IFC export button allows users to export their project to an IFC file without requiring an active Endra account. This flexibility ensures that users can share project data with external stakeholders or collaborators, enhancing the collaboration process.

Requirements and Support

For successful import of MEP device placements, users must have a valid Endra account with access to the relevant projects. Additionally, internet connectivity is required during sign-in and import to ensure a seamless experience.

If users encounter any issues or need help setting up their mapping profiles, Endra provides dedicated support through their customer service team. Users can contact Endra Support at support@endra.ai for assistance, ensuring that any challenges are addressed promptly and effectively.

Conclusion

Endra is a valuable Revit plugin that streamlines the process of importing MEP device placements into Autodesk Revit projects. With its seamless integration with the Endra platform, users can easily map imported units to their existing Revit family types and export project data using the IFC export option.

Whether you are a seasoned Revit user or new to the platform, Endra offers a user-friendly interface and robust features that enhance the overall workflow of MEP data integration. We highly recommend trying out Endra for your next Revit project to experience the benefits of streamlined MEP device placement importation.
