chelsea1307 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 One of my co workers said they found somewhere that you cannot use AutocadMEP for 3D piping only 3D HVAC, this makes no sense and she is trying to find where she found that, but im hoping to hear from someone here with experience if this is correct or if someone put something online that has is not true (not like that would ever happen :wink:) Quote
ReMark Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 If I can do it using plain AutoCAD I don't see any reason why it could not be done with MEP. Quote
Hugh_Compton Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Just to confirm, AutoCAD MEP is made for piping as well as HVAC. --- 3D AutoCAD Pipework - http://www.HerculeDesign.com/ Quote
ReMark Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Well then the OP certainly has the advantage over me. I'm jealous. Quote

Works the same for piping as for ducts. Nothing to worry about Quote
chelsea1307 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 So now I've gotten more information, they agree you can do piping, but are saying they cannot do plumbing??? like domestic hw/cw sewer that kind of stuff, can anyone confirm or disprove this??? I wish I had the program to play with but I dont so I can only go off of what they are saying Quote
Siberian Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 ...they agree you can do piping, but are saying they cannot do plumbing??? I wouldn't agree to this either. I consider piping and plumbing to be pretty much the same thing and never really got why they split them into separate workspaces. I mean come on, a pipe is a pipe. But even so, you do get both. I'm not the one in my company that purchase the stuff, but still I believe you get all five workspaces out of the box (HVAC, piping, plumbing, electrical, schematic) ready to go. Quote
LifeoRiley0 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Yes, you can do 3D plumbing with MEP. We use it on a regular basis. Including pitched waste and vent. Quote
