This toolset is designed to streamline pipe modeling, connection, and documentation workflows within Revit MEP. The commands are organized into three groups — Create, Modify, and CAD-Sheet-View — aligning with the natural sequence of a project’s design and coordination process.

Workflow Overview

1. Start with the Create tools
• Use commands in the Create group to quickly generate pipe connections, offsets, and fittings.
• These tools allow you to place angled segments (45Up, TwoElbows45Up), create offsets (TwoElbows45, SpringOut), or automatically connect pipes (PerpenConnect, ElbowConnect, SuperConnect) with minimal manual adjustments.
2. Refine with the Modify tools
• After initial placement, use Modify tools to adjust alignment (Align), set slopes (SetSlope), and split or rotate elements as needed (SplitPipe, RotateElements).
• Detect and resolve clashes using CheckClash and avoid them with MoveAvoid.
• SelectPipes enables quick selection based on system type or diameter for batch modifications.
3. Finalize with the CAD-Sheet-View tools
• Prepare documentation and coordination deliverables.
• Open and reference linked CAD files (OpenCADLink), create sheets from active views (SheetActiveView), and control view boundaries (SetCropBox).
• Duplicate viewports for multiple sheet layouts (DupViewPort) or generate 3D views for review (ThreeDView).

How it fits into your workflow

This add-in integrates directly into Revit’s ribbon interface, ensuring a smooth transition from standard Revit commands to enhanced productivity features. By following the sequence — Create → Modify → Document — you can reduce repetitive manual work, improve modeling accuracy, and accelerate the production of coordinated drawings.

Installation
When you download and install from the Autodesk App Store, the add-in will be placed in the default Revit Add-ins folder:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\BIM9_Pipes.bundle

The installation process automatically registers the application so that it appears in the Revit Add-Ins ribbon upon the next launch of Revit. No additional configuration is required.

Uninstallation
To uninstall, open the Windows Control Panel, then select Programs and Features. Locate the application in the list and select Uninstall. This will remove all installed files from the Add-ins folder and deregister the application from Revit.
