Loading and placing into the Project: One Mechanical Equipment
family is supplied and can be loaded into a Revit project through
all traditional methods. The family has no supporting files. The
display model requires a host to be placed within the project (i.e.
wall, ceiling or floor). Also, ensure that the visibility settings
within the project have been edited to show Mechanical Equipment.
The familys origin point is in the center of the mounting
surface.
Project Behavior: Instance Parameters: In the Instance
Parameters, the user can control the following options:
Water Flow For inputting anticipated intake gallons per minute.
Drain Flow For inputting anticipated drain gallons per minute.
Supply Air Flow For inputting anticipated air supply CFM. Exhaust
Air Flow For inputting anticipated air exhaust CFM. Water Pressure
Drop For inputting anticipated water pressure drop. Supply Air
Pressure Drop For inputting anticipated supply air pressure drop.
Gas Pressure Drop For inputting anticipated supply gas pressure
drop. Exhaust Air Pressure Drop For inputting anticipated exhaust
air pressure drop.
Type Parameters: Each type represents a manufactured product.
Therefore, the type parameters should not be modified. Please
note:
Product Documentation Link Directs a webpage to the products
online listing. Equipment Abbreviation For filtering schedules.
*See scheduling description below.
The family contains three (3) types whose values do not need to
be modified by the user for standard configuration. Examples of
type names: 300,000 BTU/HR Rated Input 400,000 BTU/HR Rated
Input
500,000 BTU/HR Rated Input Within the type properties dialogue
box the user will find useful information for scheduling purposes
such as Height, Width, Inputs and Outputs, and other unique
properties of the family. In Identity Data the user will find
information specific to Bock and the model, i.e.: family revision
information, Bock copyright information, part description, product
URL and other specific data. *See scheduling description below.
Visibility: For best performance, all model geometry is turned
off in Plan view and represented through masking regions and
symbolic lines that update automatically when a user adjusts the
accessories and their modifiers. For maximum usability, all
geometry is also assigned the subcategory: Mechanical
Equipment.
Rendering: When the family file is loaded into the project,
standard Bock materials are imported. These may be modified, though
ensure that the modification selection matches an actual
manufacturer supplied option.
