DAVE MANGHAM: Hi there, and thanks for joining us on this session on MEP Content Editor, which formerly was known as FDM. And it's the fundamentals session, BES1081. I'm Dave Mangham, and I'm just going to introduce you quickly to the rest of the team, starting with Craig Farish.
CRAIG FARISH: OK. Thanks, Dave. So before we go to intros, just want to talk about the safe harbor statement. It's a very important slide for us at Autodesk. You might want to pause this and read this through after you get the link.
But essentially, what this is doing is talking about the language that we're going to be using in the class. There's a lot of forward-facing language, such as we would like to add, or this is going to be on the roadmap, or it's coming soon. That's not a commitment to deliver functionality or features. It's just what we know about right now and what's on the near-term roadmap. So don't make any purchasing decisions on any of that language.
OK, next slide. OK, so I'm Craig Farish. I'm one of the [? product owners ?] on one of the, well, two of the three fabrication teams right now. Being in the industry around two decades, actually started out my career as a mechanical engineer on the fabrication, on the fabrication manufacturing side, joined the building sector in the early millennium, and been in it ever since. Started with Autodesk in 2009 and been with Autodesk ever since.
LOUIE MDANAT: And good evening, or good afternoon, everyone. My name is Louie Mdanat. I'm Director of Fabrication Data Services. I've been in the industry for almost 10 years now. I come from a mechanical engineering background. My focus has been on driving innovation in MEP manufactured digital data, enhancing all the workflows that we face on a daily basis.
DAVE MANGHAM: Thanks, Craig and Louie. And I'm Dave Mangham, as I mentioned before. I've been in the industry for over 30 years now, touching on all facets of the industry right through from the design through to contracting and estimating, so pretty much all the facets of the industry.
My positions are Director of Global Fabrication Data Integration with ENGworks Global. And I also have my own business here in Australia, which I basically assist with manufacturers, fabricators, and designers in the MEP space. So next slide, please.
So we're going to get to moving forward and what is MEP Content Editor. So as you can see here on this slide, it's the cloud-based solution designed for managing MEP fabrication content online, and it's powered by the Autodesk platforms APS, Autodesk Platform Services, formerly known, as can see, as Forge. And its updated user interface offers an intuitive and a visual experience that enhances collaboration content utilization within Revit, a very powerful tool.
We're going to focus on the fundamentals of MEP Content Editor. If you are interested in looking at this class that we did last year, we presented an introduction on FDM, which is available online still. And the previous slide showed you that.
But in this session, we're going to touch on the learning objectives, so from the upload and administering configuration, how to navigate the MEP Content Editor, how to create new services, parts, connectors, materials, and as you can see, consume the new data in Revit authoring environment. And there's a lot of new sort of features and functionality that have been introduced since our session last year, so there's a lot to touch on in this session. We're going to create some new content.
And again, as I mentioned, the deploying a configuration was visited quite extensively in last year's session. So if you do want to check that out from last year, then we're not going to really focus that much on this session in the deployment of the configuration. There will be some supporting slides in the slide deck, which will be uploaded, which will be available to download. So you'll see quite a lot more of the content and how-to in the slide deck.
So moving forward to the next slide, so without further ado, what I'm going to do is hand you back over to Louie, who would like to live on the edge in our team. And we're going to go straight into slide-- sorry, not slides-- live demonstration of the actual MEP Content Editor. And I think Craig will be doing some narrative on this first section. So I'll hand over to the capable hands of Louie and Craig.
LOUIE MDANAT: Thanks, Dave. All right, because you guys have seen the API or are familiar with it by now, as you can see on the left tools, we have the General tab, Services Setup, Components, and Specifications. We will be covering all of these throughout the live sessions. We'll start off by the General tab, the invalid data, which Craig will collaborate more on this.
CRAIG FARISH: Yeah. OK. Thanks, Louie. So invalid data is actually one of the major differences between the desktop applications and the cloud application. We've taken additional steps on the cloud side to make sure that we take care of your data in a way that's never been done before.
Invalid data is actually the initial kind of barrier around all of the data, identifying anything that's being set up. That's part of the core fabrication config when you upload it. Beyond the upload, you've got other tools in the application that will do all the validation and take care of data that way.
But this gives you a list of everything that we understand could be questionable. That's not saying it's all invalid. And if there's things in here that you've set up to be this way, so it's by design, we'd appreciate if you let us know. So there's a feedback link in the bottom of the side nav on the left where you could do that. But this is really intended to be a starting point to make sure that your data is in a really good state before you get going configuring the data in the Content Editor.
So permissions-- this is another one of the major benefits of being in the cloud in that we can collaborate on a single source of truth, which is huge for the audience and the customers that are using this technology. Prior to this, we'd be pushing around files, potentially on servers and third party applications.
But this gives us the ability now to assign customers to the configuration. And these could be either added as a contributor or a viewer, depending on what level of access you want people to have. All you need to do is throw their email address in there. We don't really want you to be putting people's email addresses in here necessarily, but if they've got a valid account with Autodesk, they should be added, and if they've got the entitlements to have either Revit or the AC collection.
Additional access is something that's new from the class we did last year. This is actually one of the big benefits of sharing data in that you can strip out anything that's competitive. And by competitive, we mean any of the installation times, fabrication times, material costs, price lists, labor rates, all of that data, even down to the individual costs that you can assign on ancillaries, [? we'll wipe ?] that if the additional access is set to none. So you can have confidence that you can add people to the configuration that you don't necessarily want to see that kind of data.
LOUIE MDANAT: Thanks, Greg. And then moving on to the server setup, so under the services, this is where we can create a service or a design service as known in the fabrication products. As you can see in the API window, you can see all of the services listed in the database along with the category assigned or the group names from the core products, the abbreviation of the system, and the last modified, which is really handy when it comes down to knowing which last piece that you had touched. There's also a search bar on the top right corner in here to search for specific templates or services, in this case.
And then from here you can edit, duplicate, delete obviously any services that we needed. To add a new service, simply you can click the Edit or the Add button. And then from here, you can just give it a service name, do a chilled water supply [INAUDIBLE] schedule 10. You can assign abbreviation to the system, which will carry over to Revit a category, if needed.
You can package all your services into a different group. So for example, you can say domestic water, gas pressure, piping, whatever the category is. And then here you can-- this is where you assign a service template to the services, which we'll be covering next. So assuming we have the service templates already created, we can just assign that. And then the part specification, this is an optional, but you can also assign that in here as well.
Another thing we can apply on the services is the insulation settings. So you can apply any insulation specs that you have in the database, whether it's domestic, water, hot water. You can also specify the insulation to be on the outside of the pipe, inside. Obviously, this applies on the sheet metal side of things as well.
The hanger engagement, simple, straightforward. You want the hangers to be on the outside, on the insulation, or on the parts itself. And you can also model by part size or insulation. This is mainly or commonly used with sheet metal when people draw the system using the free space rather than the overall size.
So this is the Services menu, straightforward, simple. And I'm just going to move on into the Services template. This is where all the fun parts happen.
So the familiar, same API. You can add, edit, duplicate, delete. And then we'll talk about that relationship manager next. This is really powerful. But when it comes down to creating a service template, again, you can duplicate an existing one, rename it, and make it fit to whatever needs for that project. Or you can also do Add service template in here as well.
And then I'm just going to give this one a name, Mechanical Water, 2 and 1/2 inch, 14, soldered weldbend, schedule 10. You can also give it a category or group name, in this case, as well. This is optional.
And then we can start by defining the size restrictions. So in this case, I have a soldered and a weldbend system. So we can start off by creating the Copper tab. I mean, sorry, we initialize the restriction, so we can start by creating the size rules.
So I'm just going to create a soldered rule. And then I'm going to create a welded rule. So on the right side here, you can set the size or the break point. So for the soldered, I'm just going to do anything less than 2 and 1/2, in this case. And then for welded, it'll be 2 and 1/2 and larger.
So once you specify the size restrictions, you can move on into the palette or the tabs, as previously known. And we can start by creating different tabs into the service template. So in this case, I'm just going to start with a copper service. Obviously we need a Welded tab. And then obviously we need probably one for hangers, valves, whatever we need for a project.
So once the tabs are created-- you can obviously move the tabs left and down, delete them, and you can also add more. So once we created the tabs, so we got the tabs, the size restrictions, the name of the service templates, and now we'll move on into the parts.
So once the tabs or the palettes are created, you will see them here in the drop list. So it will ask you to select a palette. In this case, I'm just going to select the copper. And you can add components into the size palette.
So let's start off with the copper. I'm just going to switch my size restriction to solder here. This helps-- the moment you start adding pipes or products into the palette, now it consume this solder size of restriction. So we can start by clicking Add.
And here it takes you to this new way of finding components from a library. Basically, it's a shopping experience. As you can see, on the left side is a filter tools that allows you to get straight to the products that you're looking for. We also have a list view as well that allows you or expose a lot more of the metadata. You can see the range, the manufacturer name, the product number, material, finish, and in the last day it's modified.
For this purpose, I'm just going to-- so I'm looking for some soldered fittings. So I'm just going to filter down to, for example, let's start with NIBCO. I'm going to switch this back to a tile view. And then on the range-- so just to add on to the range and then finish, those are actually being consumed from the product info of your configuration. They need to be populated in order to consume or use this range filter and in the finish as well. So just look out for that and make sure those fields are populated.
So OK, we need some rod copper, NIBCO. The menu comes up. You can also zoom in and out with your keyboard or mouse if you want to see more fittings. But you can add the fittings we need to that service by just selecting them. Simple as that. So you can select the fittings that we need.
I'm just going to select those for now. And then you can just add that to the parts in here. And just pay attention here on the top. It kind of gives you an idea of what are you doing in this case. So you are adding a parts into the soldered sides restriction in the Copper tab. So this kind of gives you an idea of what's being done here.
You can click Add parts. So now you can see we have those components under the Copper tab. If you want to filter down to the welded, they will be grayed out, similar to the core products. That mean that these are not applied to the welded.
We can also shift stuff left and right in the tab. You can exclude parts as well. If you exclude it, this will not populate in the multi-point routing in Revit or the design to fabrication. I'm sure you guys are familiar with this exclude.
But you can also add a part collection. So to do so, you can select the part. And you can do Add to size restrictions. Again, here on top it tells you exactly what's going on. So you are adding pieces or parts into the 600 fitting reducers.
So for just example, I'm just going to toss a few of the [INAUDIBLE] stuff. As you can see now, there's a badge here. It tells you the four. So this is a part collection. And if you click on that and you hit Edit, you can see all the components within that part and then the size restriction applied to it. So if these are specific valves, whatever the case is, you can switch this, modify this as needed. And then you can also delete stuff from here.
Another good feature that we had from our last meeting is now you can apply a part collection image. Sometimes you have a flange and a ring, and then you just want to have an image that demonstrate the full assembly in here. That's where you can hit Edit. And you can select any of these existing to be the main image. Or you can upload an override and upload a unique image as well from a local file.
OK, so just going to hit Apply. OK, yeah. So simply, yeah, we've created the palette. We got the copper. And obviously, now we just move on into the hangars and we do the same thing. Go into find your welded systems, add the components. I'm just going to add this one for now. And so on. So once the service template is created, we can now apply this service template into any of the services that we need.
Before I move on from the services template, I want to actually just hit Apply. And as you can see here, last modified, it shows up on top. I want to talk about the relationship manager tool, because it's really handy specifically on the services template.
So let's just select the service and do an inspection. So I'm just going to go into the domestic hot water, Relationship manager tool. So basically, the Relationship manager tool is the tool that allows you to inspect and explore all the data associated to a service template, service, a part, or even a connectors or materials. This is really handy when it comes down to housekeeping, managing the database.
A lot of times we feel like we want to purge a lot of the unused data from the database, but we get a little bit hesitant, because we're not sure where that part or that connector or that material is being assigned. This is where you can explore everything in the database. And it gives you a better idea on what's being used.
For the service template, as you can see, it's now-- if I click on the left or expand the left boxes, you can tell this service template is being used with this service, the domestic hot water PEX groove. And then on the right, if you expand that, it takes you to the different tabs.
And then even the tabs themselves, you can expand onto that and you move on into the individual parts within the palette. And then even the parts itself, you can expand onto that and get to the connectors assigned to that part, materials, material specification, et cetera.
What's also helpful in this case is that you can modify any of these components straight from this window. So if you want to modify this PEX tee, I can do an edit. And it take me to the piece itself. And we can modify the geometry, whatever we need. You can also modify connectors the same way. And then you can also edit the service template from here as well.
Another good tool in here is the focus tool. So for example, let's say I just want to look at this one part. And I want to know where this part is being used across the database, which service is being used, so I know before I delete it what's the outcome.
So we can do set focus on this. And now, as you can see, now we have the parts. And if we expand on the left, it gives you the palette that is being used for that part, and again, the connectors. And then it goes down back to where the service is being used for that part.
So this is a relationship manager tool, really handy. OK. All right. Yeah, we'll move on to the components part. So when you click on the parts, it takes you to the library. This is where all the content lives. Again, we got the filter tools here to investigate and find and add parts into the database. Same thing. We have a tile and a list view as well.
And then to create a new part, simply-- as of now, we just simply have to find a similar product. So for this demo, I'm just going to create a coupling. OK. Actually, for this demo, we will be creating a dielectric union. So as you can see, we have the 1/2 inch and a 3/4 of an inch.
So to build this, obviously we're going to start off with a coupling CID template. So we start looking by CID 2025, CD 2225, 2522. Think it's 2522. But in this case, we'll grab the extended coupling. You can hit Edit, obviously Duplicate, Delete, Relationship manager as well. But in this case, we're just going to do Duplicate.
All right. As you can see now, automatically the name added a copy to the name, so it prevents any duplication within the database. So I'm just going to give it a different name, Viega ProPress Di-Electric Union, perfect, 2522 [? SSCID ?] pattern. Perfect.
The brand is also Viega, so we'll keep that as-is. You can assign a range if needed, an alias, and a product number as well. So in this case, let's just give it a product number. I think it's 2967 lead 3. Perfect. OK.
And now we'll move on into the Geometry tab. So here we got the product entry and the connectors. Feel free to resize the window here if you need more space on the right. In the product entry, so since we are building two sizes, a half-inch and a three-quarter, I'm just going to simply eliminate those sizes by selecting those parts. Hit the Delete. So now we just got the two sizes we need to modify.
We also got the Column filter tool. So this allows you to check and uncheck stuff that we're not using for that particular part. So lug weights, lug width, depth, I don't need to see any of these. Maker, nope. Product number, we need this, of course, square nuts. We don't need any of this, just to make this list a lot simpler. And we also got filters.
So if you're looking for a space, if you a lung product and you're looking for a specific size, you can select the parameter in here and search for it, contain, add value. If you have a specific model number, you can just go into this product number, contain, and search for it.
So yeah, looking back at the PDF real quick, and let's just look at the union. So connection to connection, we're looking at a 0.88 for the half an inch, so let's set that up. And this coupling, so we're just going to do the body length, so this 0.88. And then I'm just going to go back to this and check my 3/4 of an inch. And that will be 1.11, [INAUDIBLE] 1.11. So that's the length. As you can see now, the connectors are overlapping, but that's fine. We'll fix that in a second.
The next thing we need to do-- well, let's fix that now. So let's set the collars to Auto in order to use the connectors' insertion depth rather than the overall. Same thing on here on the right end. I'll set that to Auto. OK, so now we get to see or the connection to connection in here. Perfect.
And then we just want to now add the hex portion of this. So we can do that by assigning number of sides. Let's just go with hectagon. And you can also apply this-- this is really helpful. Any stuff that you want to apply to all of the sizes, you can just hit that check box and automatically applies it to all of the cells. So I'm just going to do that for now.
And now we don't see it still. And that's because we need to assign an offset. So I already did the math on the side. But for this one, we're looking at 0.65. Beautiful. And then for three quarters of an inch is actually 0.78.
So we are getting there. So we got the hex. Actually, let's add a little bit of front and back chamfer just to make it a little better. I'll apply that. OK, perfect. Set that here as well. And now looks good. We got the dimensions, the connectors.
So obviously, we have a proper socket. And we need to assign one of those ends to be a female pipe thread. So I'm just going to go to the drop list, select the female pipe thread. And as you can see now, we have the dielectric union for the 1/2 inch and a 3/4 of an inch. Obviously, we're not really done, but we just got assigned IDs, the weights of that product, the order number for reporting purposes in estimating.
So that's that. And then once this is done, we can move on into the Manufacturing tab, assign a part specification if needed. Not typically used for pipes, but we definitely need a material and a material specifications and a finish, if needed.
Once the part is done, we can also upload an image. So there's a few ways we can do this. You can do a generate from 3D model. And basically, it grabs a screenshot of what you have in the 3D view. Or you can upload an image from a local file. So let's just do that and assign this union.
And then with this feature, it automatically makes it a square. And then it does all that beauty stuff. So it doesn't have to be 64 by 64 anymore. It could be any different size. I believe it's 320 by 320. Craig? The max now or something? But you can have a larger images with this.
Yeah. So that is that. And then obviously you can expand if you want to investigate the 3D viewer itself. You can do Done. And then look at the section views, see how is it work going. Things are-- so feel free to inspect this. The view of this can be also modified to different themes in appearance and even environments in the background. So all that can be adjusted in here. So let's just close that.
And then I think that is it, creating a part. You can just hit Apply. And then now the part is added to the database or to the configuration. And anybody is added to this configuration will get a notification right away saying a part was added, service template was created, et cetera. Any notification happens on the fly.
So that's on the part side. Connectors-- this is a connectors menu. Again, same thing. Filter views. Duplicate, Edit, Relationship. To create a new connectors, simply hit the Add button.
And then it's going to ask you to specify a connector type. So in this case, we're going to go with the round. And then you give it a connector name. So I'm just going to FPT Sample, OK. And then a category. The group name here as well, if we needed to. And then a round. And then we assign a gender, a female and a male.
So two genders to pick from. And then the domain, electrical, HVAC, and pipework. This is straightforward. So if it's pipework, this has to be set to pipework. And then connectivity, threaded, welded, that can be assigned in here as well.
Matching connectors-- this is actually really handy, but we'll talk about that in a few other sessions. This kind of gets more technical on that side. But pipework and type also an optional as well. And then the pressure class also another optional that you can assign to a connectors.
And then we move on into the geometry. So you can specify the connectors type. So standards, obviously we are all familiar with this, hex, and a blank for caps. So for a socket weld or a female pipe threaded, we'll just go with a standard step down.
And then the measurement mode, basically, how would you want the overall of the connector to show? So for example, for flanges, we'll have to use outside diameter. For anything in the socket, we'll probably go with the wall thickness. So this is the same option in the core product. This says include outside diameter, yes or no. Basically these are options now. It's more clear to know exactly what's doing.
And then we move on into the Add geometry. So this is where you create all your sizes. So we can define a half an inch connectors, assign an extension to it, a snap offset. So we'll set that to be a half-- one inch minus and then outside diameter. Let me put a half inch here. And then outside diameter, I'll just go 1.25. And then the body length is way set back if we needed to. And then you can sew on and build all of the connectors.
So once that's done, you can hit Apply. Now the connector is added to the database. And again, any contributor or viewer will be notified that a connector was added to the database. Just going to leave the page real quick.
And then materials also, this is where you define all the materials in the database. You can see the category, abbreviation, connectivity. And then the last modified is also shown. And this same, straightforward. You want to add a material, you can add material. And then if you want to select a group, assign the material's name, category, the connectivity for that material, and then a specification if we need it.
All right. Moving on to the specifications. So we have insulation specifications, we have a material specifications, and we have parts specifications as well, all of them in one place, which is really handy. So for insulation specifications, you can see all insulation specs in the database. So we can create a general piping, a cold water insulation specs-- all that can be done in here. You can specify the single dimensions or the abbreviation of the insulation specs as well, typical workflow.
Add the insulation name. So I'm just going to do fiberglass, 2 inch. And an abbreviation for a category or group. So if you want to have all the fiberglass into one group, so you can say fiberglass here. So now any fiberglass insulation can be added to that category. And then we move on into the tables as well.
And then this is where we assign the max and the range of the specifications. Material specification, also straightforward. Same thing. You can modify any of the existing material specs or you can create new one by simply clicking the Add. OK. And it was going to ask you to select the specification. And I'm facing a little bit of lag here. Again, give it a name, category, [? silver ?] sizes as well.
Part specification, straightforward. This is mainly or commonly used on a sheet metal where you assign your [INAUDIBLE], gauges, pressure, negative or positive pressure. All that gets done in here. And it's also straightforward. It asks you for a part specification name and an abbreviation. And then you can populate the table as well in here by adding a table and then the size.
All right. Just going to go back to the main menu. So that is all, everyone, for the specification tabs. Anybody have any questions? And this will be moving on to the QA/QC. [INAUDIBLE].
DAVE MANGHAM: So I'm just going to briefly jump in there. And just while Louie was going through all the sections, if Louie, can you just briefly jump into the Parts section again, please? I'm 10,000 miles away from Louie.
But you'll see actually the second part in the list there is a part that I created last year during Louie's demonstration. So this is propagated through to the config. And Louie will see that 10 minutes ago, there was a service created as well.
So this is so powerful that collaborators can independently add and modify various aspects of the config. And this propagates through, gives the users a notification, toast notification, or a notification in the top right. And as you can see there, I've added in the demo. And as Louie just pointed out there, that was done five minutes ago by myself. So that's another huge benefit of the MEP Content Editor. And then I think unless you've got anything to add, Craig, at this stage--
CRAIG FARISH: I think we're good at this point.
DAVE MANGHAM: Back to the PowerPoint. You want to jump into the next slide in the PowerPoint, Louie? So that concludes the live demonstration from ourselves. We've got a couple more slides just to show you.
For your information, at AU 2024, there are several presentation sessions that you'll see on this slide, which have got the session number and the presenters. And then on this next slide-- so you can see that the sessions and the names, the sessions and the various presenters-- so that's your information.
These are all related to MEP experiences. And this is just a slide for information. If you've got more information from ENGworks Global, we do have some QR codes that you can scan there, which will take you to the websites, various websites and links.
And then the next slide that we've got-- please, Louie-- is also some other useful links, which takes the roadmap, the MEP Revit Discipline Specific Roadmap. You can see on the left, if you scan that, it will take you to the roadmap. And then we've got a feedback. So Craig, if you want to just jump in there regarding the feedback?
CRAIG FARISH: Sure. Thanks, Dave. So yeah, the feedback is really important for us. This gives you the opportunity to provide feedback via Qualtrics link directly to the team. We regularly monitor the feedback so we can find out exactly what you guys are thinking, where are you struggling, any new features that you would like to add. Any of that data can go straight into the feedback link. So yeah, please use it as much as possible.
And this is not just the only way you can get in there. There's two ways on the application. So on the side nav, on the left-hand side, you can find a link for provide feedback. And also in the Help, a menu from the top nav. So thank you in advance.
DAVE MANGHAM: Thanks for that, Craig. And so thank you very much for joining us. Many thanks to both Louie and Craig for their input in this session. I hope you've got some great insight and information from the video. And we'll sign off. And thanks very much once again.
