Exported Data Review

• Revit Excel Fabrication review tool allows quick amendments, so changing the

values in cells can be published in both Revit Schedules and Excel

Exported Data Review- Revit Demo

Export Cutting Sheets to CNC Excel FileExport Cutting sheets to an excel file that is readable for a CNC Machine

Harmonize Pipes and Fittings

• At any point in the project elements can get disconnected.

• Pipe-Fab has a solution for this problem.

Harmonize Pipes and Fittings - Revit Demo

Connect Pipe to Sprinkler• Automatic Connect Pipe to Sprinkler tool makes this process quicker and more efficient

Remove Coupling • This tool enables the user to remove a Coupling from

Socket Half (Pap End)

Remove Coupling- Revit Demo

Group Pipes and Fittings

• Traditionally when cutting pipes in Revit paps disappear. This tool groups pipes and fittings so we

can cut pipes and change pipes sizes and will not loose paps.

Rotate Pipe

• Rotate pipe - Select the elements to Rotate and choose direction:

Clock Wise or Counter Clock Wise

Rotate Pipe - Revit Demo

Delete Pipe

• Delete pipe - click on the pipe you want to eliminate and then

click near the fitting you want the pipes to move to

Delete Pipe - Revit Demo

Hanger

• Automatically Place Correct Type of Hangers

based on the distance from Slab/Beam

Place Hangers - Revit Demo

Pipe Sleeve• This tool enables the user to place pipe sleeves for

pipes penetrating walls and slabs.

Dropper Riser Height

• The Riser/Dropper Height tool gives the overall

length and direction of pipe (Up or Down).

Automatically tagging of Droppers/Risers - Revit Demo

Pipe to Structure Distance

• This tool provides Distances to all the structural

elements from the center line of the pipe
