Additional components/assignments

For MEP objects, 3D Representation requires the use of the MEP Connection object (which can be found in MEP Library > MEP Connection), in order to facilitate the automatic connectivity of MEP objects.

This MEP Connection component must be assigned to 3D Model Full.

For Duct/Pipe Inline Flow Library Parts, there must be at least 2 MEP Connections, assigned to 3D Model Full. These must be placed on a single axis facing in opposite directions.

When creating a Duct or Pipe MEP Library Part, make sure that the MEP Connection component is assigned the corresponding Connection Class: Duct or Pipe.
