I saw this post in regards to MEP 2008 and was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Autodesk has done anything to address it in any of the recent releases ('15 or '16). I would hope so, but I am assuming not.
"This is hopefully a very simple question. I think I know the answer. Just wanted fellow AUGI Users take on this. Do the MEP Objects (Pipe, Fittings, MV Parts,etc) respect the Cut Plane Feature? So far I think the answer is NO since I have fiddled with it and was NOT able to get ANY MEP Objects to display properly when I changed the CUT PLANE values. The Architecture Objects DO respect the cut plane and seem to work. But the MEP Objects do NOT cooperate. Any thoughts or conformation on this? Please let me know. I am using Architecture and MEP 2008. Thanks!"
If not, does anyone have a good work around for the above described situation other than moving to Revit? I am working on a multi-story Educational facility. Typically our firm would just do separate plans either laid out in model space or in entirely separate drawings, but for this project we decided to stack all of the levels in model space and use viewports, layers, & cut planes to control our views. If we are unable to control the MEP objects via cut plane or some work around of cut planes we will likely have to revert back to our old means & methods. Any thoughts? Thanks in advanced!
