MEP Routes

MEP Routes

Draw the path, get the system. Select a connected run in Revit and MEP Routes builds it into real duct, pipe, cable tray, or conduit — complete with fittings — or turns it into a coordinated bundle of several services running together, sized and placed exactly the way you want.

How to use

1. In Revit, select one connected, non-branching chain of detail or model lines, arcs, ellipses, or splines — open, or forming a closed loop. This is the path your run will follow.
2. Open MEP Routes from BimCode.
3. If the path has curved sections, set how long you want each straight segment to be.
4. Add the services you need — duct, pipe, cable tray, conduit — and set each one's type, system, and size.
5. Arrange them in the cross-section: drag services into place, or click Auto-arrange bundle to lay them out for you. While dragging, MEP Routes snaps to centres, matching edges, and your set clearance, and shows live, editable dimensions to the nearest service.
6. For precise alignment, mark one service as the alignment base, then align another to it — top, middle, bottom, left, centre, or right — or place it beside or below the base at a set clearance.
7. Choose the reference level and create the route.

Good to know

• Duplicate or remove any service from the list at any time.
• Your layout is saved automatically for each project — positions, sizes, alignment, snapping, units, clearance, and even the current view. Adding a service, duplicating one, or reopening MEP Routes never rearranges what's already placed; only Auto-arrange bundle does that.
• Measurement fields commit when you press Enter or click away; Escape restores the previous value.
• Work in feet, inches, metres, centimetres, or millimetres — MEP Routes starts you off in your project's own units.
• The cross-section view supports scroll-wheel and button zoom, panning, and a zoom-to-fit button.
• Creating a route happens in a single step, so one Undo removes the whole thing.
