![]() Displaying the mounting height of several MEP elements (AFF), either on plan or in a schedule, is a common practice for conveying design intent in documentation. It also finally made the parameter that is driving the placement of MEP devices available for view filters and documentation like tags and schedules. With this change came the ability to add a default elevation that was previously only available to face-based families. ![]() This simplifies and streamlines the user experience across face-based or non-hosted elements. For non-hosted elements (and non-work plane-based), these two parameters now do the same thing. Elevation from Level controls the ‘mounting height’ and Offset from Host indicates moved off the host, usually a vertical wall. For face-based elements, the parameters are now more self-explanatory. Elevation changed to Elevation from Level and Offset changed to Offset from Host. These parameters were renamed and redesigned. This was confusing in general, but especially so for new users. Face-based elements placed vertically, also had an Offset parameter that controlled the offset from the host. The Elevation parameter controlled the height from level for face-based elements. In previous versions, the Offset parameter controlled the height from level for non-hosted elements. This was a ‘platform’ enhancement that has big implications for MEP workflows and documentation. It was a change to the level Offset/Elevation parameter. However, Revit 2020 contained an enhancement/improvement that, in my opinion, was a long time coming (too long). A formal review of 2020 (at least for MEP) didn’t happen last year for AUGIWORLD. Did that Revit idea you’ve been voting for make the cut? Is there a new feature that was added that you didn’t even know you wanted?īefore looking at what’s new in 2021, I want to go back in time. For those of us in industries using Autodesk software it offers some sense of normalcy when so much of regular life is, or was, disrupted. Even with all the uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 the annual release of Autodesk software continued as planned. ![]() Back June 17th, 2020 What’s New in Revit MEP 2021
