MEP Modeler for ArchiCAD 14

MEP Modeler for ArchiCAD is a useful new tool that enables architects to better coordinate building projects with more predictable results, reducing cost, waste and time overruns during the construction and design process.

The MEP (Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing) Modeler is a new extension** to Graphisoft's building information modeling (BIM) software ArchiCAD 12 / 13. MEP Modeler enables users to create, edit and/or import 3D MEP networks (ductwork, piping and cable trays) and coordinate them with the ArchiCAD Virtual Building, using familiar tools and interface.

"Coordination issues between trades are one of the biggest source of problems on medium and large building projects," says Miklos Szovenyi-Lux, director of product management at Graphisoft. "These problems regularly cause as much as two to four percent cost overrun on total project budgets. Our MEP solution identifies problems on projects before they get to the construction site."

The Graphisoft MEP Modeler includes the following capabilities:

• Powerful modeling tools to quickly and easily create or edit an MEP model in ArchiCAD.
• Powerful routing in the 3D view as well on the floor plan with intelligent connections.
• A rich library of industry standard parametric components which can be customized.
• Creating custom MEP elements.
• Interference detection to coordinate MEP systems with architectural & structural disciplines.
• The ability to import 3D models from AutoCAD MEP® 2008/2009.

MEP modeler is built specifically for architects to provide a platform where MEP data created with any engineering solution can be brought into the ArchiCAD environment seamlessly and easily.
