MEP question

Does the MEP pipework have the ability to give the pipes fall or gradient?

Some do, for example the Pipe Straight 19 > Pipe Settings > All Parameters > Slope Angle.

Thanks David
I will download the trial & take it for a test drive.
One more question, does it increase the annual subscription fee by much?

If I remember correctly MEP is a one time purchase only, no increase in fee.

Rogerdodge:

Good idea to try before you buy. There should be a one time charge for the MEP license, then no charge after when upgrading ArchiCAD (the MEP license gets upgraded when upgrading the AC license, same process), but check with your reseller to be sure. This was the same deal as BIMx before it was integrated with ArchiCAD.

I'm sure that our AC distributor said there was an increase in the annual subscription fee if you have MEP.
I will download the trial over the Christmas holiday & ask them about cost in the new year.
I am doing more & more 3D pipework & have been using the tube shapes from the library, but it is painful to do!
