MEP Part Floor Plan Views

Tazo Kikoria — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 09:59:10 GMT

Hi, everybody

I was having a trouble about MEP part appearance on floor plan. I have something modelled like this:

It's made by one single object:

But on the floor plan it shows the whole element on All Relevant Stories:

So this is the display on every floor plan but I want it to be different on every story. I want the stories to cut the whole structure and show only needed parts on the current level. I don't want to construct it hand-by-hand. Is that possible?

Operating system used: Windows 11

Have you found a solution? Or is it unsolvable with the software as it currently is? 😞

Hi, did you tried to put "real section" in plant and section?

I found a workaround for the issue. I simply draw separate sections for each floor. The ductwork tends to join automatically and form a single object. To bypass this automated behavior, I place the ductwork slightly off to the side so that the reference lines don’t touch. Then, I extend the ducts downward until the arrow displays the hammer symbol. In this configuration, the ducts are not aligned, preventing them from actually merging.

After this "false" connection, I manually drag the duct to match the reference line. As a result, they remain separated with their respective home stories while still being accurately aligned with the reference lines.

Unfortunately it is just workaround way to achieve the result

Not really. I don't know what it means.

Yes, I think the approach of DavitBotchorishvili is the optimal one.

I've found the exact same solution to this problem. It's good to know I'm not the only one struggling with this. The thing is, I don't think this problem should be solved like this...
I miss the AC 25–26 MEP modeler! This new MEP modeler isn't functional!
