If you have to add plumbing and piping
equipment into your model the new Connect tool will help you
out tremendously.
Let’s say your existing model needs to be added to and you
have to add / copy an extra plumbing fixture like the sink
below.
We need to select the sink we are adding to the cold, hot and
sanitary system in order for the connect tool to work. It will
appear in the options bar as long as you have something added to
a system.
You will be asked to pick an existing pipe to connect to.
Now, in a matter of seconds you have connected a fixture to your
lines with the help of this new Connect tool.
Another shortcut you may like to use is the (F2) button on your
keyboard to rename views in your Project Browser. First,
highlight your view by left-clicking your mouse once and then
hit your F2 key. This will work in all Revit software.
You can now select a fitting or piece of the pipe / plumbing
layout and change elevation of the whole layout instead of the
piece you selected by changing it in the offset in your options
bar.
