Guys,
Anyone of you have experiences working on HVAC ducts and other utilities pipes? Since we still await Revit Mechanical to be on-board...properly I just need to ask which is the better/ fast way to work around it at the moment, as HVAC ducts have a lots of duct reducers and bends and run in different levels....
in-place family or create family with instance parameter, which is better?
Thanks in Advance.

I would create an external family with height width and length, it's easy to do, same with the bends though, if you have a few of them it will be a bit time consuming (you need to do it once)
if you don't really need to show the bends, i would not worry about it, just the ducts in place...

Hey, I just got another Idea, properly it is worthwhile to import the while ducting ACAD drawing over the family and create the whole ducting as a family, then only import it over to the project....In project, I only have to assign the datum level and the whole ducting family will go according to it location..align, move bla bla bla. and I get rite of my worries for the level and bends working in projects which is somehow confusing!!
Only negative part of this idea is only dedicated for this project and the family won't be able to be reused later.

Anyone in HVAC want to model a good looking name brand furnace? Do they have them on RevitCity?
