BIM Revit MEP Families Basics (Mech & Elec) Crash Course

Course Description:
This crash course is designed to introduce engineers, designers, and BIM modelers to the fundamentals of creating and managing Revit MEP families for mechanical and electrical systems. You’ll learn how to build intelligent, parametric families from scratch, modify existing components, and optimize them for use in BIM projects. The course focuses on practical, hands-on exercises that cover essential concepts such as parameters, connectors and family categories specific to MEP design.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently create and customize Revit families for lighting fixtures, power systems, and other MEP elements

What You’ll Learn:

• Understanding Revit family structure and types (loadable, system)
• Creating and editing parametric MEP families (mechanical & electrical)
• Working with connectors, parameters, and shared parameters
• Family templates and best practices for MEP modeling
• You will learn the concept of creating families.
