Create and Edit Scheme

Get information on the workflow Scheme for the disciplines Heating and Potable Water and Cooling in Revit.

A correctly constructed pipe network can be converted into a pipe scheme in the workflow Scheme. This scheme can subsequently be edited and supplemented.

Schemes are needed throughout the entire project lifetime from the early planning phases to the operation and maintenance of an MEP installation. To meet the requirements of the fee regulations for architects and engineers, you can use LINEAR tools from heating, potable water, and cooling pipe networks to derive schemes. The schemes are saved in the project as a drafting view and can be adjusted later. Various tools are available for this purpose in the lower section of the Design tab: Scheme. You also have the option of editing schemes in the Scheme Editor < so that you do not lose the component connections and thus preserve the topology of the network during editing. If necessary, you can also use the Scheme Editor < during the conversion process before generating the drafting view of a scheme in order to make adjustments at this stage.

To successfully create a scheme from a pipe network, all network objects must be classified, the network must not have any open ends and all network objects must be assigned a corresponding symbol. The correct determination of floor structures, suspended ceilings and ceiling thicknesses requires the correct configuration of all levels in the storey table: All actual storey levels should be set as such, additional levels must be defined as auxiliary levels, and the storey level reference must be set correctly. Before you create a scheme, you can open a dialog in the Convert Model to Scheme section where you can specify the settings for the conversion, make any necessary corrections, and define the storey level reference. Adjustments in this dialog only affect the creation of the scheme.
