How to Quickly Split Mechanical and Electrical Models into Multiple Single-Layer Projects in Revit
In Revit, after creating the mechanical and electrical (M&E) model, it is often necessary for multiple team members to work simultaneously on optimizing the building model. When using a central file is not feasible, the M&E model needs to be divided into multiple single-story projects. One efficient method to achieve this is by splitting the model according to elevation levels.
1. First, create a copy of the mechanical and electrical model that you want to split. Modify this copy as needed and rename it to represent the target floor, such as the “B1 Mechanical and Electrical Model,” as illustrated below.
2. Open the copied project file and navigate to the elevation view as shown in the image.
3. Use the box selection tool by dragging from the top left to the bottom right to select all elements below the B1 floor elevation. Then, press delete to remove them, as demonstrated in the figure.
4. If some risers cannot be deleted as expected, click the Modify button in the modification panel, select Trim/Extend Multiple Elements, and adjust the excess risers accordingly, as shown below.
5. Click the B1 floor elevation again and select any remaining risers below this level. After completing this step, save the model. This completes the process of splitting the B1 floor model, as illustrated.
Why Quickly Splitting Mechanical and Electrical Models by Elevation Matters:
Once the M&E systems are fully modeled, multiple team members often need to optimize the building simultaneously according to project timelines. Splitting the mechanical and electrical model into single-story projects based on elevation significantly enhances collaboration efficiency and shortens overall project duration.
