Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model. A space understands in which room of a linked model it resides, and it can report the identity of that room. at 10:38 AM.

AR can also be used to showcase 3D models and even provide tours, giving clients a solid idea of what a building would look like before it’s built. Want to show the client what a new installation would look like on-site? These labels can then bring up text or even 3D models to communicate safety or hazard information.
