Auto Break Command

Introducing the Auto Break command to Naviate Fabrication for Revit, a transformative feature designed to optimize fabrication workflows. This command automates the insertion of union fittings at specified intervals along MEP runs, available in both 2D and 3D views for ultimate flexibility.

Key Feature:

  • Automatic Union Insertion: Places union fittings at user-defined distances, streamlining the MEP run segmentation process.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Dramatically reduces manual effort and time in detailing MEP runs by automating union placement.
  • Precision in Fabrication: Ensures accurate and consistent spacing of unions, aligning with fabrication requirements.
  • Adaptable to Any Project: Whether in 2D or 3D, single or multiple segments, this feature adapts to the project's specific needs.

The Auto Break command is tailored for fabrication professionals seeking to enhance productivity and precision in Revit-based projects.

New! Data synch

The new Data Sync feature in Naviate MEP for Revit introduces a powerful capability to establish and maintain a synchronized relationship between Detail Items and Families. This innovation ensures that their parameters remain in harmony, offering a seamless integration that supports consistent data management across projects.

 

Benefits:

  • Unified Data Management: Ensures that changes to either Detail Items or Families are automatically reflected across both, maintaining consistency, and reducing manual updates.
  • Flexibility Across Disciplines: With its cross-discipline applicability, Data Sync facilitates a cohesive workflow among different project teams, ensuring that everyone works with the most current and accurate information.

Step Command

The Step command, previously a staple in the HVAC and Electrical disciplines, has now been integrated into the broader MEP toolkit within Naviate Fabrication for Revit. This extension provides MEP professionals with a more nuanced tool for routing segments, offering granular control similar to the functionalities of route around or over/under commands but tailored for the unique challenges of MEP systems.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Design Flexibility: Provides the ability to accurately route MEP systems through complex environments, ensuring that designs are both efficient and practical.
  • Improved Workflow Efficiency: By offering a tool specifically for granular routing adjustments, the Step command reduces the time and effort needed to manually configure challenging routes.
  • Increased Precision: Ensures that MEP installations adhere closely to project specifications and constraints, enhancing the overall quality of the design.
