Clicker MEP Opening

Clicker MEP Opening

Win64, English

Clicker
This tool is purposefully crafted to create openings in structure and architectural models for MEP elements and export BOQ for old and new openings with a single click.

General Usage Instructions

This plugin is used to create openings in structural and architectural models (walls, floors, and ceiling categories) for MEP elements that exist in MEP links.

To access the UI, navigate to the Clicker ribbon panel and click on "MEP Opening," and the user interface will appear.

Ensure the below before executing the app function:

  • Ensure that MEP links are loaded into both the architectural and structural models.
  • Ensure that the transformation between open model (architectural or structural) and linked models must be (0,0,0), as moved links are not supported.
  • Verify that the MEP links align with the same base points as the architectural and structural models where openings are to be created.
  • Check clearance for MEP categories.
  • Make sure to select categories from checkboxes for links and the active model.
  • Make sure to load the Clicker Circular Opening family and create an instance from it.

 

The openings are created only for loaded linked elements, so you must check to load only MEP links to create openings for architectural or structural models.
