Productivity Tools

Back to app overview

Visiting this page from a mobile device? This App is developed for desktop usage and can be downloaded for Revit or AutoCAD.

Connecting, rotating, and reconnecting Revit families in MEP systems just got much easier! Designed in a user-friendly manner, the App provides productivity support for managing MEP systems at high speed, such as ventilation, sprinkler, cable ducts, heating and cooling, and sanitary systems.

Whether you want to connect a fitting to a pipe, rotate entire systems in 3D without leaving your current view, reconnect a disconnected saddle to a pipe, attach hangers to routing systems, or extend hanger rods to construction elements, you can now save considerable time by eliminating the redundant steps imposed by the native Revit commands.

This App includes eight powerful time-saving tools:

Connect elements, Connect & rotate elements, Connect & copy elements, Rotate elements around other element, Rotate elements in free space, Reconnect elements, Attach hanger(s) to system, Attach & extend hanger rod(s) to construction

Connect elements with just 2 clicks

Simply select the element you want to connect and the element you want to connect into. No need to align and drag the element to the position where it should be connected. Or connect and rotate in one run with just 3 clicks.

Design faster in 3D

No need to go through all the steps imposed by the native Revit functionalities anymore to connect, copy, and rotate elements or entire systems; with just a few clicks you can now perform these actions in any view, including 3D views, without having to create separate section views.

No unwanted elements created

No unwanted elements are created when using the three connectivity tools; the selected element(s) will be moved and then directly connected to the reference element; no additional pipes, ducts or fittings added between them.

Copy and immediately connect

With Connect & copy elements you can improve your productivity by making multiple copies of an element (like equipment or specific fittings) and, contrary to Revit, by connecting it immediately to other elements (like pipes or ducts).

Rotate without losing connectivity

Rotate single or multiple elements (like pipes, ducts, and fittings) connected to a system by specifying the desired direction and angle; opposed to Revit, the connectivity won’t be lost.

Rotate in any view around any axis

Rotate single Revit families, multiple elements connected to each other, assemblies or groups around X, Y, and Z axis in any view, including 3D views by using the intuitive rotation helper provided by the Rotate elements in free space tool.

Restore disconnected elements

Reconnect elements makes it easy to reconnect multiple disconnected system elements in one click, instead of element by element.

Attach hangers to routing systems

Attach hangers (like brackets, support profiles and support consoles) to pipes, ducts and cable trays in routing systems with just two clicks. The hangers adjust automatically according to the size of the element to be attached to.

Currently, only Flamco and generic hangers are supported. Want hangers from other manufacturers? Contact us at apps@mepcontent.com

Attach & extend hanger rods to construction elements

Attach and extend hanger rods to architectural and structural elements (like rails, support profiles, walls or ceilings) in one go. The threaded rods are automatically extended and can be attached also to sloped elements from your current project or a linked model.

Quick access to your favorite commands

Depending on the selected elements, the relevant tools will be shown to you in the context-sensitive ribbon, saving you clicks.
