One of the topics I get asked about all the time is MEP in Revit.
So instead of bringing on one guest, I brought on three.
In last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live, I sat down with the team from RevX MEP to talk plumbing, mechanical, and electrical families in a way that was actually practical. Not theory. Not perfect-world BIM talk. Real workflows.
A few things that stood out for me:
- Connectors matter, but only if you understand what they are actually doing.
- Families do not need to be overbuilt to be useful.
- Nested content can make mechanical and electrical families way more flexible.
- Revit can do more with electrical loads and panel schedules than a lot of people realize.
- And maybe most importantly, good MEP content is still way too hard to find, which is exactly why conversations like this matter.
I also appreciated how honest the discussion was around LOD, conduit modeling, coordination, and the difference between what sounds impressive and what is actually helpful on a project.
If you work in Revit MEP, or even if you are on the architecture side and have ever wondered why MEP content feels like a different world, this is a good one to watch.
