Overview of working in tight spaces with duct and pipe in Revit

00:00

MARTHA HOLLOWELL ORCUTT: In this course,

00:02

we're going to investigate some tools to help us run

00:05

duct and pipe in tight spaces.

00:08

This is part of the design development phase of a project.

00:11

And catching interferences now will save a lot of time

00:15

when preparing for fabrication and construction.

00:19

We are specifically in the learning path

00:21

of mechanical duct and pipe, and we're

00:24

going to focus first on running interference checks.

00:28

We will then look at the interference check

00:30

tool in Revit and use it to correct several clashes.

00:34

Once we have a result from the interference check,

00:37

we will then clean up the interferences.

00:40

In this case, focusing on using Parallel Pipes tool to quickly

00:45

add and modify pipes in a tight space,

00:48

and modifying ducts by connecting

00:50

fittings to fittings, which helps us avoid clashes

00:53

while taking up the least space possible.

00:57

Once we've cleaned up interferences,

00:59

it's a good idea to size the duct and pipe again.

01:02

Making modifications to get around interferences

01:05

can cause a change in flow.

01:08

In this set of videos, we will work with the interference

01:11

checking, create and modify parallel pipes,

01:15

and change short runs of ducts so fittings connect to fitting.
