tzframpton Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I use it. Honestly I don't see the real demand for the MEP features, but if you can get your whole office to adopt the full features of the program, it definitely does a lot.

Hedgehog Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 We use MEP as our acad base but, in addition, we've bought CadDuct since... neither is perfect but in CadDuct the parts catalogues are more up-to-date, the support is better & it's used more in the industry so it's easier to find people to use it. I believe it's cheaper too. We no longer use the MEP features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's cheaper too. We no longer use the MEP features. I have a friend who works at another mechanical company here in Dallas who uses CADDuct, and it's great for him because they actually manufacture their own duct, so he just sends the BOM file generated by the program to the fab shop and it makes all the duct for them. without having to actually sit and estimate the job. We don't manufacture duct so it's basically useless for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 We don't manufacture duct so it's basically useless for us. Neither do we (we have a permanent subby for that)... we do pipework (inc. drainage) & electrics in fully co-ord drawings... all with CadDuct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything we do 3D is in Revit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We use AutoCAD MEP to do HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection designs, but only our HVAC designs incorporate the functions that MEP offers (duct sizing, mvparts, table schedule styles, etc.). The Property Set Definitions and mvparts are incredibly useful tools. -Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
