Works with linked files
|  | - | Create openings for linked MEP in architectural / structural file or
vice versa.

| |
Teamwork/collaboration between MEP, architectural & structural engineers |  | - | Share opening geometry and data with architects/structural engineers
using .xml file.

| |
Openings for IFC MEP elements
|  | - | Create openings for current or linked MEP elements from IFC files.

| |
Supported categories | Walls | Floors | Roofs | Ceilings | Beams | Columns | Pipes | Ducts | Cable Trays | Conduits |
|
| | Make openings for structural elements, such as Walls,
Floors, Roofs, Ceilings, Slabs, Beams, Columns, and MEP elements, like Pipes,
Ducts, Cable Trays, and Conduits.

| |
Predefined configurations for: | Cut Offset | Joining Distance | Opening Shape | Interference Check |
|
|

| - | - | - | - |
| Set configurations for opening size and cut offset from MEP object, define
distance between two openings to be merged into one, define opening shape,
and allow partial interference.

| |
Configuration classification by: | Round Duct | Rectangular Duct | Oval Duct | Pipe: Fire protection | Pipe: Plumbing | Pipe: Sanitary | Pipe: Hydraulic | Pipe: Other | Cable Tray | Conduit | MEP Object Size |
| | 
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Configure opening size, cut offset, joining distance, etc. by MEP
element’s category and system classification.

| |
Configuration sharing |  | - | Share predefined configurations with colleagues.

| |
Calculate opening elevation from: | Level | Project zero point | Global zero point |
|
|

| - | -
| - |
| Calculate opening elevation in accordance with host level, project zero
point, or global zero point. | |
Opening elevation positions | Top | Bottom | Center |
|
|

| - | - | - |
| Calculate opening distance to the bottom, top, or center point of
opening family.

| |
Openings update if: | MEP changed position | MEP deleted | New opening inserted | Shape changed | MEP size changed |
|
|

| - | - | - | - | - |
| Update openings if MEP elements are deleted, moved, resized, or any other
action has been carried out on them.

| |
Manual changes | Change offset | Delete opening | Move opening |
|
|
| Possible to modify openings manually.

| |
Minimum opening size |  | - | Set minimum MEP service size limit to insert openings.

| |
Join selected openings |  | - | Join selected openings into one bigger opening.
→  | |
Partial interference openings |  | - | Possibility to add openings when MEP is partially clashing with
structures. |  | Wall partial interference | Floor partial interference |
| |
Structural openings for doors & windows |  | - | Auto-insert openings for windows and doors in
linked Structural model.

| |
Fire dampers |  | - | Add fire dampers where needed.

| |
Fire collars
|  | - | Add fire collars where needed.

| |
Families | Round void | Rectangular void | Round solid | Rectangular solid |
|
|
| Distribute void families that cut structures in Revit models. Change voids to solid elements to
export openings to Navisworks or IFC.
| |
Extra parameters for documentation | Opening shape
| Opening elevation | Opening mark (passing through system mark) | Host | System classification | System type | System name | Additional top cut offset | Additional bottom cut offset |
|
