MEP Duct/Pipe Fittings course recommendations?

[xscad-083]

Hello, I've been tasked with creating fittings families for ducts and pipes maybe in future, can people here please recommend the sources where you would learn something like that? Fitting families from scratch, I checked youtube and linked in learning but couldn't find anything specific or good tutorials on it where it would go in detail. I have intermediate knowledge in creating families, just the MEP part is new to me, with the connectors and all. Thank you.

Your probably not going to find anything "good" online for free. Id probably start with your local reseller. For doing Duct/Pipe Fittings you'll need a good understanding of how lookup tables work.

check out these classes. from Autodesk university on Lookup Tables.  there functionality hasn't changed much over the years so even the older ones are still relevant.

For Lookup Tables, I think so.... They have expand there use to more than just MEP Fittings, but the fundamentals haven't changed much. 

Other things, like Energy Analysis in Revit have changed A LOT in the past 10yr.
