wonderfull! very useful tutorials. Thanks a lot! Please, make a video about calculation of water consumption depended on quantity of people and devices and probability of using.
Great suggestion! In plumbing we typically size our water systems based on hunters curve, which is a probability of use for each fixture. This method is used to calculate the pipe size. Revit already has a sizing tool that uses the hunters curve. There are two curves, one for tank type toilets and one for flush valve type. Check out my most recent video where I place fixtures connect them and run some sizing calcs. Now I will caution you that this method is very conservative, since the hunters curves were created in the 1940's so fixture flow rates were much higher. Water efficient fixtures that are common today use much less water, so take this into account when sizing your system.
Thanks Pavle! Yea this is a super powerful tool in Revit. Being able to manage systems and schedules in Revit has endless possibilities. I can't wait to show you guys more techniques for calculations!
This gets me 90% of the way. I would like each system name with each diameter totaled individually. Not individual cuts. So, Domestic Cold Water, 1", 100'-6": Domestic Cold Water, 3/4", 50'-8", etc.
You can use the same method, for sorting, sort by system type, then diameter, and make sure you "calculate totals" in the formatting tab for the length. That should get you total length by system then by diameter. Go to 15:26 of video and add the diameter to the sorting and click footer, then select title count and totals. That should group the items together correctly then give you the totals for that group. Hope this works, its definitely is possible!
Off the top of my head you may want to add a text project parameter to your pipe called level. You could select all the pipe on a given level and add the level name to that parameter. Then add that parameter value to the schedule.

Thank you very much for explaining very nicely, I enjoyed it!👍
You are very welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video
You're very welcome Joshua! I'm trying to help out the MEP community. I love teaching and I'm always motivated by everyone's kind words!

@@mep_guy Niceee ! Anything that speeds up the calc or bill of quantity is an awesome topic. Thanks for sharing !!!
Awesome! thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for the comment Jethro!
You are the Man!!!
Thanks Thady!
@@mep_guy hope u continue posting tutorial, your way of teaching is really clear and easy to understand, compare to other..

@@mep_guy Nailed it. Yes. Thank You!
@@claudaniella AWESOME!
how to extract pipe schedule based on levels.???
Off the top of my head you may want to add a text project parameter to your pipe called level. You could select all the pipe on a given level and add the level name to that parameter. Then add that parameter value to the schedule.
