MEP Elements all have connection ports: these are represented by hotspots to which you can connect another MEP element.
A newly placed MEP element that is connected to an existing MEP element will take on the connection parameters (e.g. shape, size) of the element to which it is now connected.
Connected MEP elements can be moved and edited together.
To select connected elements: see Select Connected MEP Elements (Command).
•The hotspots of correctly connected, straight MEP elements are black.
•Unconnected hotspots are displayed as diamond-shaped editable hotspots
Note: The regular ARCHICAD library includes MEP-compatible Library parts, such as plumbing fixtures, whose connection ports connect smartly to MEP elements.
