Air System & Duct Modeling in Revit
The excerpt from BIM Pure’s Mechanical Modeling for Revit course, taught by Tyler Disney of Revx, demonstrates step-by-step air system and duct modeling on a real multi-family/commercial project. Disney places and configures a horizontal heat pump and ceiling diffusers, sets airflow values, draws main and branch duct runs (including flex connections), and shows practical tips like capping open ends and rotating fittings. He then uses Revit’s duct sizing tools to size ducts by friction criteria, splits mains to optimize sizing, and corrects transitions using trim tools. The segment closes by directing viewers to bimpure.com/mep for the full course, templates, and MEP families.
