Need help on MEP Excel pipe

[alvinkoh93]

Hi everyone,

I'm not a MEP modeler, but I need to add an underground pipe network into my Revit project. The information I have needs to be imported through an Excel file, but I'm not familiar with the required format or how to structure the data correctly for MEP underground piping.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I think there is a little misunderstanding here. The excel data is likely not to model the pipes, but rather to model the pipe fittings. The schedule data in your screenshot is used in family creation as "Lookup Tables" and here is little help about this topic:  https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2027/ENU/?guid=GUID-91270AEF-225A-49D7-BF84-1F44D1E3E216

However, you might find it a lot easier to just download ready-made families.

As for modeling the pipes, it's easy, just don't forget the correct template, units, pipe types, elevation and slope.
