MEP 27 - The New Feature that never happened

[DGSketcher]

Can someone from Graphisoft please step up and own the current abject failure to deliver the renewed MEP Modeller?

Today I joined the many others who have had to return to using AC26 in order to deliver on our MEP commitments.

We all pay out for GS to deliver improvements to AC, yet here we are 7 months later with a key feature broken & software we can't use. Can someone at least tell us what we can expect in terms of delivery of fixing this MEP debacle and when?

It's bad enough struggling with the 3D screen "grey outs", and the disappointment of new features that suddenly became experimental, but finding a fundamental tool is no longer useable... 🙄

Hi, I would like to know how can we set the variation of the section of an Air Duct to take place at a side of the duct and not at the center as seems to be the default setting that doesn't seem it can be changed. At least I did not find any setting for this.

I'm attaching an image to illustrate what I want to achieve.

Hello @Achille Pavlidis ,

In the upcoming version, a new feature will allow you to select any edge from the duct.

Thank you!

Hi @Lina-Zouaghi,

You mean next version 28 or next update for 27? Which is happening earlier?

[Lina-Zouaghi]

@Mahmoud Qenawi This feature will be available in version 28.

[Achille Pavlidis]

@Lina-Zouaghi Really?! I was sure you meant the next hotfix!

We have to wait for AC28 to have this very basic function, that was available until AC26? 

We literally never design air ducts that do not keep one side constant!

Basically the new MEP is useless, this is utter disappointment

@Lina-Zouaghi Are junctions (not take-offs) going to be available through favorites? Right now, every time it becomes a junction, even though I don't have insulation on, it still turns the insulation on and ignores all parameters. I have to manually change them every time.

[Lina-Zouaghi]

hello @vdentello 

In AC28,  junctions settings will automatically follow the route settings(insulation, flange...), there is no longer a need to manually adjust the settings each time.
