Press Release
Budapest, October 22, 2008 – Graphisoft has announced today that its new Graphisoft MEP Modeller started to ship both on Windows and Macintosh platforms. This new tool introduces a set of functions that will enable architects to better coordinate projects that are more predictable to construct.
“Coordination issues between trades are one of the biggest source of problems on most medium and large building projects,” says Miklos Szovenyi-Lux, Director of Product Management, Graphisoft. “These problems regularly cause as much as 2-4% cost overrun on total project budget. Our MEP solution has already proven to find a myriad of problems on projects before they get to the construction site.”
The Graphisoft MEP Modeller includes the following capabilities:
- Powerful modelling tools to easily and quickly create and edit an MEP model within ArchiCAD
- Powerful routing in the 3D view as well on the floor plan with intelligent connections
- A rich library of industry standard parametric components which can be customized to user requirements.
- A custom part creation wizard
- Interference detection to coordinate MEP systems with architectural & structural disciplines
- The ability to import 3D models from AutoCAD MEP 2008/2009
Erika Epstein, Architect, AIA, U.S.
“I'm an architect, not an engineer and have long modelled dummy versions of MEP to ensure adequate space. This is much easier as well as realistic. The ability to do clash analysis is tremendous.”
Richard Crowe, Gilchrist Ross Crowe Architects, U.S.
“I am very impressed with the MEP Modeler. The objects connect intelligently. The pipe size, type, direction and insulation characteristics are automatically picked up and transferred to the new connecting objects. Heights or levels of the pipes/ducts read correctly. This is a joy to use. “
