Project Overview

The project focused on developing intelligent, parametric Revit families for industrial valve assemblies, supporting multiple product configurations within a single family. The families incorporated adjustable pipe diameters, lookup table-driven parameters and functional Revit pipe connectors, enabling accurate product representation and seamless integration into MEP piping systems.

The Challenge

What Made This Project Complex

The project required detailed parametric family development for industrial valve assemblies with varying dimensions, configurations and connection requirements. Managing multiple product variations within a consolidated family structure while maintaining dimensional accuracy, geometric consistency and functional piping connectivity presented key technical challenges.

01 Parametric Valve Family Development: Creating detailed Revit families for industrial valve assemblies with varying dimensions and configurations.
02 Multiple Product Variations: Managing different valve types and product variations within a consolidated family structure while maintaining geometric consistency and dimensional accuracy.
03 Piping Connectivity & Functionality: Ensuring accurate connection points and functional piping connectivity across all valve configurations.
Our Approach

How Milestone PLM delivered

We developed structured and intelligent Revit valve families incorporating multiple family types, adjustable dimensional parameters and lookup table functionality. Native Revit pipe connectors were integrated to establish functional connectivity with piping systems, ensuring the families could be effectively utilised within BIM-based engineering workflows.

Key Deliverables
