Our drawing number format is [DISCIPLINE][SHEET TYPE]-[DESIGNATION]. Example: MH2-1A which expands to MH2-1A - LEVEL 1 PARTIAL DUCTWORK PLAN. DISCIPLINE: M = Mechanical General, MH = Ductwork, MP = Hydraulic Piping, MR = Refrigerant Piping, SC = Structural Coordination. SHEET TYPE immediately follows discipline: 0 = General Information, 1 = Overall Floorplans, 2 = Partial Floorplans, 3 = Enlarged Floorplans, 4 = ISO/Section/Riser. DESIGNATION: Represents the floor level and area (e.g., 1A, 2B, 3). See Drawing Number Convention standard.

M = Mechanical General, MH = Ductwork, MP = Hydraulic Piping, MR = Refrigerant Piping, SC = Structural Coordination. These codes form the first part of your drawing number.

The designation comes after the discipline and sheet type, and represents the floor level and area of a building (e.g., 1A, 1C, 2B, 3A). It includes the level number followed by the area letter. Example: MH2-1C means Ductwork, Partial Floorplan, Level 1 Area C.

Sheet types go right after the discipline code in your drawing number. Types are: 0 = General Information, 1 = Overall Floorplans, 2 = Partial Floorplans, 3 = Enlarged Floorplans, 4 = ISO/Section/Riser. Example: MH2-1A means Ductwork (MH), Partial Floorplan (2), Level 1 Area A (1A).

Typical floor plan scale: 1/8 inch = 1 foot. Large plan areas: 1/16 inch = 1 foot. Detail plans: 1/4 inch = 1 foot. Always indicate scale on sheet. See Drawing Scale Standards.

When creating a new project, Revit inserts 5 scope boxes by default. In a working floor plan you should see 1 scope box named 'overall' and 4 smaller ones named 'area a', 'area b', 'area c', and 'area d'. Select the 'overall' scope box and drag it to the center of the building, then resize it so the entire building fits within the dashed boundary line.

Open a mechanical overall contract drawing and check if a key plan was released. If the contract drawings include a key plan, place each scope box to match the key plan areas, ensuring scope boxes overlap slightly - at least 1 column line should fall within the overlap. If there is no key plan, get with the PM to determine placement.

Scope boxes should overlap each other slightly. A good rule of thumb is to ensure at least 1 column line falls within the overlap area between adjacent scope boxes.

Copy and paste additional scope boxes as needed to match the number of areas shown in the key plan. Follow the correct naming format when naming any new scope boxes.

In the ribbon bar, go to View → Sheet → FAI Template. A default pop-up will appear. Go to the properties and change the title block to the correct customer before proceeding.

When creating a new sheet via View → Sheet → FAI Template, a default pop-up will open. In the properties panel of that pop-up, change the title block to match the correct customer for the project.

Find the QR code area on the title block and double-click the title block to edit it. Follow these steps: 1) Go to F-drive, find Box (download if needed), go to Projects, find the project, then Active Docs → Shops. Right-click inside the folder and copy the link. 2) In a browser, go to QR.io and log in (get with Ryan if you need an account). Select 'Website URL', paste the link, click Continue twice, rename the QR code to the project name, and download as PNG. 3) Drag the PNG into Revit, place it in the blank space of the title block, change the width to 2 inches, and align it to the text box within the title block.

Get with Ryan if you do not have a QR.io account. You will need it to generate QR codes for project title blocks.

The QR code should be set to a width of 2 inches. After placing it in the blank space of the title block, align it to the text box within the title block.

After completing the QR code steps, finish the remaining fields in the default pop-up on the title block. When done, select the pop-up, go to properties, and check the 'Complete' checkbox.

After a sheet is created, renamed, and renumbered, select the title block, go to properties, and turn on the key plan. Enable any relevant areas as needed. Overall sheets should show the full key plan with no grayed areas. Partial sheets should have grayed areas to indicate the specific area covered.

Overall sheets display the full key plan with no grayed areas. Partial sheets display the key plan with grayed areas to indicate which specific area the sheet covers.

Once all sheets are made, move each sheet to the correct discipline folder. This can be done in the Properties tab.

Go to View → Plan Views, then select the type of floor plan you need. In the New Floor Plan pop-up, uncheck 'Do not duplicate existing views', select the level you want to create a view for, and click OK. Then apply the overall scope box, apply the view template, and fix the view range if needed. Rename the view in ALL CAPS.

Find the Detailing views in the Project Browser and navigate to the area of scope. Expand the views and verify that the scope box assigned to each view is correct. Rename the view title if needed, using ALL CAPS.

After creating the main floor plan view, create dependent views for any partial areas needed. Rename each dependent view and apply the appropriate scope box as indicated in the key plan.

Drag the view from the Project Browser onto the sheet. Each sheet should have both an RCP view and a floor plan view. Place the RCP view first and renumber its title to 'X', then turn the title off in properties. Next, find the corresponding floor plan view, hover over the RCP view until you see a blue 'T', then place the floor plan view. Resize the title line to match the length of the title text, then drag both views together to the bottom-right corner of the sheet.

Place the RCP view first, renumber its title to 'X', and turn the title off in properties. Then place the corresponding floor plan view by hovering over the RCP view until you see a blue 'T'. After placing both views, drag them together to the bottom-right corner of the sheet.

All view names should be written in ALL CAPS.

Yes, OA (outside air) does usually connect to RA (return air) and will get a motorized damper on the tap connecting to the RA.

You will use a website called freedcamp.com, its like Wrike but for our services design team. You will look for the job name and add a new task, the task should be titled "Add *blank* services" blank should be replaced with whatever item you are requesting. United Mechanical ductwork, is labeled "United Mechanical Ductwork Service" make sure that is in the message to the team, and the abbreviated names for the ducts you will need, ie EA, RA, OA.

Joshua Flowers and Preston Powell are the current mechanical Project Managers.

Yes, ductwork before a VAV is always going to be Medium Pressure Supply Air.

<p>#answer 4' 8" for M&M and United Mechanical uses full joints at 5'. These are the typical we use. But it depends on the project.</p>

No, exposed is always lined unless the contract documents or client says otherwise.

Under project information, under the manage ribbon, you'll find the parameters for General Contractor, Architect, and Engineer. you will find the information to enter these values by looking at the contract documents. also you may request this information from the customer.
