MEPPP Intro Videos

A few weeks ago I announced the new Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Productivity Pack (MEPPP) available by CTC Express Tools, which my firm helped create. This product is a labor of love between two engineering firms and CTC; and also a refinement of the Electrical Productivity Pack we created on our own nearly 6 years ago and is being used by electrical engineers and contractors across the USA.

Additionally...

Here are several short videos, by the infamous and slightly humorous Shawn Zirbes, highlighting the features and workflows found within the new MEPPP product:

Be sure to check out the Auto Sizing video and how we have some super cool functionality in things like air terminals and VAV boxes with engineering judgment override abilities.

The Project Setup video shows a workflow where a new project starts from an RVT project file with worksharing enabled and Worksets established. This is a proven workflow we have been using for years. I did an Autodesk University presentation on this back in 2010; see more about that here: AB316-1C: The Best Revit® Template Is Not a Template.

One more thing, check out the Design Validation video which offers a peak at the vast array of schedules we have in the template.


Contact CTC via the link above for more information or a live demo...

Finally, just for fun, the sample architectural model used in the provided Sample Project, User's Guide and YouTube Training Videos, is from an 2014 RTC (now called BILT) presentation I did in Ireland on Autodesk Showcase. Check out the two sample images I dug out of the "conference" folder. FYI: In case you did't know, Autodesk has discontinued Showcase.
