MEP Systems and Connections Across Linked Models

MEP Systems and Connections Across Linked Models

It would be nice to have MEP connectors be available for connection in a linked model. Also, these connectors should be able to be added to a system or circuit. There are many projects where mechanical, electrical and plumbing are split into multiple models in various ways. It would be helpful to have the same system creation functionality across linked models.

It's 2023 and I'm bumping this up.

We do 4 MEP fields at our firm, HVAC, Plumbing, Electricity and Fire Protection.
To have the ability to be able to get the MEP data from a linked file so we can schedule it properly would be awesome.

I believe the best thing I could do for Electrical families (in the MEP model) is to add an Electrical connector to each family (in the Arch model) that needs power.  The Arch model would contain all the data needed to size the load.  Our Electrical Device family would read the Volts, Amps, etc.  This level of automation should be attainable in R 2024.  It was not in previous versions, but I think they fixed it.  A little research shows conflicting information.  I placed a connector on an oven in an Arch model.  I linked that into my MEP model, but I don't see that connector, cannot select it.  Maybe it is that I'm used to seeing Mech/Plum connectors where I have a flow direction?  If I could set the oven connector to flow out, and the electrical outlet to receive a calculated value, I think this could work.  

 

If we can place connectors on an element in an Arch model, the model which Arch is linked into ought to be able to use those parametric values, otherwise, what's the point?

Is it still not possible to copy/monitor Specialty Equipment in Revit 2024?  I tried but looks like that does not work.
