MEP modeller for ArchiCAD 10

[justdhruv]

I was going through the PDF of the newly released constructor 2007. It says "Constructor 2007 includes MEP Modeler: a full, high-end, mechanical, electrical cable tray and plumbing modeling
module. With specification-driven routing, MEP modeler
is accurate and very easy to use: duct routes are auto-
matically delimited by the components available from the
specification library. MEP Modeler includes an extensive
library of component specifications."

Is such a module not a part of the ArchiCAD 10. If not, can one purchase it for ArchiCAD for mac as Constructor is windows only. I have recently bought ArchiCAD 10. and was thinking of modelling all the services of a project in 3D as well. Is it not possible in Stand alone ArchiCAD 10.0? anyone else done 3D modeling of the services, through some workaround?

i wouldn't hold my breath - 'constuctor 2007' now holds the new MEP modelling tools and objects. looks quite impressive too: finally, on-the-fly GDL object constraining based specifications grounded in reality.

take a look at the videos on GS's website . . .

Until Graphisoft understands that in the world outside USofA architects actually produce exact building models, coordinate the structural and MEP work (I normally rework my projects with the actual structural data and as much of MEP data as I can manage) and are in charge of the project - and not the contractors, who usually do not have the expertise or the setup to re-design the project - it will be so ...
