MEP Designer

Use the built-in MEP Designer to model and edit MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) routes - ducts, pipes, and cable carriers. You can also place individual MEP elements using dedicated tools or the Object tool.

MEP Designer and the needed MEP library packages are loaded automatically with Archicad and require no extra license.
