This command automates the creation of wall and floor openings where pipes intersect elements in Revit. It detects pipe intersections and generates openings based on user-defined settings, supporting coordination between disciplines and improving documentation accuracy.
Select Pipes
Users can manually select pipe elements to create openings where required. This allows targeted processing without affecting unrelated model elements.
Include Pipes from Linked Models
Users can select pipes from linked mechanical models using the "Pipes in Link File" option. This supports cross-disciplinary coordination between MEP, architectural, and structural models.
Select Target Elements
Openings can be created in walls, floors, or both, depending on project requirements.
Define Gap Size
Users can specify a gap size around each opening to accommodate installation tolerances and ensure proper fitment during construction.
Merge Openings
When multiple pipes pass through the same element closely, nearby openings can be merged into a single larger opening rather than creating multiple small ones.
Set Merge Tolerance
Users can define a merge tolerance value, specifying the maximum distance within which openings will be combined.
