MEP Opening is your new powerhouse tool for Autodesk® Revit®! Automatically model openings in slabs and beams for the passage of pipes, cables and ducts. 

This plugin offers a variety of customization options for creating openings:

• Choose between the current or linked model for both the structural model (RVT or IFC) and MEP discipline (RVT).
• Specify the MEP discipline name for unique identification parameters in the created openings.
• Define the default gap between piping and structure.
• Support for circular and rectangular openings.
• Select desired nominal diameters for creating openings.
• Establish the minimum allowed distance to reference beams and slabs.
• Choose between different execution scopes.
• Support for floor plans and 3D views. 

In addition to opening modeling, MEP Opening features:

• Automatic verification of project guidelines.
• Easily visualize openings that do not meet defined minimum distances.
• Automatic identification of inverted beams.
• Use of custom, standardized, and parameterized families.
• Standardized symbology for differentiation of circular openings with different diameters;
• Control handles for alignment with reference structural elements.
• Identification of pre-existing openings, preventing the insertion of duplicate instances. 

Revitalize your MEP workflow with MEP Opening! Create and coordinate opening projects with greater precision and efficiency. 

Upcoming Features:

• Grouping of closely spaced openings.
• Support for linked MEP models in IFC format.
• Validation of already inserted openings.
• Support for more categories of structural elements. 

Current Execution Limitations:

• Currently, the plugin supports MEP model links only in RVT format.
• Currently, only structural elements from the following categories are considered:
• Beams (structural framing).
• Slabs.
• Currently, only MEP elements from the following categories are considered:
• Conduits.
• Cable trays.
• Ducts.
• Pipes.
