Shadowing Practice: REVIT 2023 FOR MEP - SYSTEM PIPING - Learn English Speaking with Video

music

what's up guys learning with rich here in this exercise i'm

going to show you how to create a hydronic return piping system

so let's say for example you are placing an air-cooled chiller outside the basement of the building

that is what we are going to do and this chiller

that we are going to put will discharge to the base mounted pump

that we are going to insert later on

which will circulate the chilled water throughout the building

so for example that's the scenario so we are going to place mechanical equipment

that will going to be our base mounted pump

and also we are going to create the hydronic return system layout

and then i'm going to show you how to edit the piping system properties

and then let's try to size the piping system okay

so let's do this as you can see there's already the

insertion point for the chiller as well as the base pump okay

so we already have here our equipment so this is an ahu inspection module so in 3d view

this is how it looks like do we have a separate 3d view here no okay

so i'll just click this one

okay so this is how the model looks like okay

so by the way

if i'm gonna click this one this coil here you will notice we have here several connectors right

so we have a connector for the supply we have a connector for the pipe here okay

so if you want to check what type of connector is this one

so what you do is just click the family

and then edit the family okay

and then you can now see here the type of the connector

that we have here so this one okay this is our uh hydronic supply connector

so any pipe that you

that you will be creating from this one the system classification of

that will gonna be hydronic supply so this one is our hydronic return

so this is where we are going to create our hydronic return pipe okay

and also this family has the capability to create your duct as well

so this duct is a supply air so the flow direction is bi-directional

and then this one here is also a connector for your

duct so this is also a supply air just like the other side okay

so we have here how many connectors so we have four connectors okay

so supply and return pipe and then this one is supply duct

and then supply duct okay all right so let me just close this family and let's go back again

to our project okay so here i'm gonna select one dash mech i'm gonna select here view

and then select tile view so

that i'll be able to see the 3d model here as well this one okay

so let's insert first our mechanical equipment here the chiller mechanical

equipment let's go to the systems tab mechanical you can click

mechanical equipment the shortcut is me in this exercise the chiller

and then the base pump is already loaded in the project in case it's in case it's not yet loaded

so you can go to mechanical equipment and then you can select load family

and then locate the family

that you would like to insert in your project okay now

for this one chiller is already selected this is the one

that i'll be using so i'm now going to place my chiller

so you can press space bar do not click yet you

can press the space bar to rotate space bar again

and then space bar again there you go so that's the position

that i prefer for the chiller

so i'm not gonna place it here there you go so

while the mechanical equipment tool is still active

so i'm gonna click this drop down arrow here

and then let's look for the base mounted pump model 4 by 6 so let's click this

and let's again this is our base pump insertion point

that one so let's press space bar space bar space bar okay

and then let's place it here okay and then modify now

if you want to place that exactly this corner to the intersection of this reference plane, you can use align.

So, let's go to align, modify.

Let's select your align.

You can type AL for the shortcut.

So, let's select this and then that side.

And there you go.

So, it's now align.

And then select your modify.

Okay.

Again, if I'm going to click this chiller, you will notice we have here connector for supply and then return.

Okay.

So supply and return pipe and same with our pump here.

So let's go here.

So for our pump, so we have how many connectors?

So we have an electrical connector here.

So we also have a pipe here, 4 inches, and this one, the in is 6 inches.

Okay?

Right.

So after we place our equipment,

the next thing that we will be doing is we're going to create relation between this coil here.

This one and also this one.

Okay?

So we are going to create a relation to this coil.

So we are going to create a system.

So how to do that?

So you can just click one of the coil and then after that here on our create system.

So you have two systems here that you can create.

You have dock system and then you have piping system.

Why do we have two?

because we have connector for duct

and pipe in this family here that's why you can see duct piping

if you only have a pipe connector in this family you will not be able to see

that duct option okay now for this one we're going to create piping

so let's click this

and then for the system type we're not going to do a hydronic supply we're going to create

hydronic return so that's why i'm gonna select hydronic return

and then for the name here i'll just put let's say chilled water return chwr

okay and then i'm going to open in system editor

100

and then select your okay

101

so by doing this after you select okay it will automatically open the system editor okay

102

so let's do this open okay and then

103

here on our system editor so we are going to add to system this one here

104

okay so let's click this so that it will be added to the system

105

so there you go okay so now the next thing

106

that i'm gonna do is i also want to add my chiller this one right

107

But that will going to be my equipment.

108

So I'm going to select here.

109

Select equipment.

110

And then we're going to click our equipment here. That one.

111

Alright.

112

Okay.

113

And then after that, so we are now ready to finish.

114

Let's click finish.

115

There you go.

116

Okay.

117

So checking our system browser.

118

So you can right click browsers, system browser, click that.

119

Okay, and then you can see here we now have one piping system.

120

So if you expand that, so we now have here our chilled water return pipe.

121

And then we have there our system classification.

122

Then we have the equipment here.

123

So it will highlight, you will notice it highlights.

124

And then this is the name of the system.

125

you click that it will highlight and then this is the two coil that is part of the system

126

right now the next thing

127

that we'll be doing we are going to add our base

128

mounted pump to the connection later on after we create the piping for our coils two coil

129

and then our equipment here okay so let's generate first the pipe automatically

130

and then later i'm going to show you how to

131

manually edit create your piping manually okay

132

so i'm going to select one of the coil here

133

that is part of the system this one i can also select this one

134

so it's up to you so i can click one

135

and then after that from the layout so there is this tool connect into okay so let's click this one right

136

oh what did i selected so i selected connect into not connect into but generate layout sorry

137

so generate layout so layout generate layout did i say connect into anyway it should be generate layout

138

so let's click that one okay so here is now our connection from the equipment

139

so as you can see we have network here for the network solution we have five solution

140

so currently it shows here one so

141

if i select this it becomes two three four five right

142

but i'm just gonna select here this one

143

so let's say i use four of five by the way the color blue here that you are seeing

144

that is our main pipe and then the green pipe

145

or the green line that you are seeing here

146

that will gonna be our branch pipe okay so don't forget

147

that okay so this is now our connection

148

so you can still modify this one

149

if you want you can select here edit layout you can click

150

that and then let's say it's too tight here you can you can click

151

that and then you can use the move

152

it's up to you so let's say uh this one so i can click that and then i can

153

oh this one this one here i can select that

154

and then i can move it let's say for example here okay

155

so you can you can edit the pipe so you can click

156

and then you can see here the the move icon okay

157

and then you can go back again to the solution if you want

158

and then that's it for this one so if you're gonna click the

159

if you're going back to the edit layout you can click the pipe here

160

or the main pipe branch pipe you will notice here the height right

161

so that is the height by default of our pipe after we create it

162

so later on we can still modify that don't worry

163

so i'm just showing you how to use automatic layout

164

so after that let's finish the layout let's select finish layout

165

and there you go so we now have our connection here okay

166

so what we're gonna do is we're going to include our

167

pump here to our connection okay we're going to connect

168

that here okay so here on my top view so i'm going to split my pipe

169

okay so let's now do this manually so a

170

while ago we created this automatically right so this time let's do it manually

171

so let's go to modify and then let's click split element click

172

that and then i'm gonna check here delete inner segment so

173

that when i click two points one two it will create an opening

174

and then select your modify and then there's a coupling here just delete that one

175

we don't need that so every time you split there's a coupling

176

that is created automatically okay there you go okay now the next thing

177

that I'm going to do is I'm going to create a pipe coming from this pump here

178

so I can do that in the 3d view

179

so what's the height of this let's click this pipe

180

so the height is nine feet right

181

so i'm going to click this pump here and then after

182

that i'm going to click that icon to create the pipe like

183

that and then before you click you can change here the middle elevation

184

so we can type here nine for nine feet oops nine there you go and then apply

185

okay and then you can create the small segment here like

186

that and then i select here modify okay so this one if you click you will notice that is

187

supply okay and then this is a return

188

okay so this is a return so they are they are different system okay

189

so what i'm gonna do is i'm going to edit this one

190

so this one if i click and then create a pipe here and then click here

191

so that's another pipe right okay now I'm gonna select this one

192

and then here on the system type I'm gonna change

193

that to hydronic return so make sure they are both same system right

194

so it should be returned as well that's why make sure you check your piping system

195

so that you are doing it properly now just to make sure they are aligned

196

so I'm going to select modify here

197

and then I'm gonna use a line tool okay

198

so make sure this two is aligned so i'm gonna select from here

199

so you can press tab that one click

200

and then let's align this one as well so tab click all right

201

so they are now aligned so make sure this is also aligned

202

so for this one i want that to be connected here

203

so i'm going to use align as well so align

204

and then this one there you go so it's now align

205

so we can now connect this one

206

so we can use a dream extend to corner

207

so let's click here on our 3d view this one

208

and then this one there you go

209

and then select your modify now for this pipe here

210

so let me just click that pipe click right click

211

and then draw pipe you can just create a small segment of pipe

212

so let's say five or nine if you

213

if you want you can also type nine

214

and then select your apply there you go

215

and then modify now this one since they are already aligned

216

so you can now use three mixed

217

and two corner to connect this one to here there you go okay

218

so our connection is now completed so our base pump

219

if I'm gonna check out my system browser you can now see here

220

that our base mounted pump is now part of CHWR it's now part of my

221

hydronic return okay so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to let me just close this one

222

so let us try to size the piping system okay

223

so I'm going to zoom in here let me just move this one

224

because this one is too close so let me click that so It's just too close,

225

so let me just move something like that, okay?

226

Right, so let us now try to size this.

227

So just hover your pointer, okay?

228

Or maybe you can just click it.

229

So you can select like that.

230

Or if you want, you can select this whole connection here, that one.

231

and then there's this tool here dock pipe sizing

232

so we are gonna use the pipe sizing so let's click

233

that one and then we this is now our pipe sizing dialog box

234

so we are going we are going to size it

235

so velocity i'm gonna check it i'm gonna size it by velocity and then for the

236

velocity here so 4 fps and then end option

237

so it will gonna be velocity and friction okay

238

so i'll just use this uh these default settings

239

and i'm not going to restrict the size

240

so i'll just select your okay there you go so it's now size based on that sizing method okay

241

so Revit will size that automatically there you go this is our exercise for system piping

242

so this is how you do it so you can create it automatically

243

and then you can also create it manually okay

244

so automatically I would suggest you only do this

245

if you are just on conceptual design

246

if you just want to create a quick layout just to show to your client that this is your capability

247

you can do this and you can also create manually okay

248

so manual you use that during the design already you don't do automatic during the design

249

so it would be better just do it manually okay

250

so based on the engineer's design all right so there you go

251

so hopefully you learned something from this video

252

if you have any comments questions

253

or suggestion you can put it on the comment section below

254

and i'll get back to you as soon as i can thank you for watching guys have a nice day

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
