1 Easy way of working with sprinklers

2 Working with MEP elements Smart Sprinklers extension Smart Sprinklers application for Autodesk Revit MEP......allows designers to quickly distribute sprinklers in the model with a real time interference checking....automatically routes sprinklers through pipes to the distribution pipes. Customizable routing rules allows you to connect sprinklers directly to fittings with or without sprinkler heads....automatically pre-calculates diameters for range and distribution pipes by different standards (ISO, AS, NFPA, etc)....values of default parameters for sprinkler planning, pipe sizing and pipe routing types such as Sprinkler-to-Range Pipe, Range Pipe-to-Distribution Pipe are based on ISO, AS, NFPA, etc. standards....default parameters are easy customizable by building and saving different routing and sizing configurations.

3 Smart Sprinklers - powerful Autodesk Revit MEP solution for sprinklers location planning in the BIM model and automation of pipe routing from sprinklers to distribution pipes.

4 Smart Sprinklers has an E-Help where users can find a sample project and explore it:

5 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group inserts virtual group with our created elements in the space with different boundaries. Virtual group elements are used for better review and analysis of position for future sprinklers.

6 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Steps to insert the virtual group: 1. Select space or element in the space. Boundaries and parameters of selected space will be used; 2. Select a wall for detecting X direction. Note: Virtual Group can t be copied or mirrored! Placement parameters can be locked

7 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Length (X Direction) maximum length in X direction in room/space; Width (Y Direction) maximum length in Y direction in room/space; Select Base Wall for X Direction select wall from the project for detecting other X direction. Selected wall

8 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Element Placement Elevation - elevation where virtual group elements will be inserted. While inserting the first time the element will be placed on the top of the room/space. Ceiling Virtual group element It is not necessary to put virtual group element exactly on the face of the ceiling. It will not effect sprinkler s location if the host is specified. Note: Element Placement Elavation should be defined prior the use of other functions to ensure proper positioning of sprinklers in room/space. Virtual group element will be inserted with elevation of 2500mm if the space upper limit will be higher.

9 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Real Number of Elements real number of elements what are inserted in the current room/space with it s shape. Number in X Direction, Number in Y Direction number of virtual group elements in X and Y directions.

10 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Distance X, Distance Y distance between virtual group elements in X and Y direction. These values will be used when Distribute by Spacing parameter will be selected; Distribute by Spacing distribute preselected number of virtual group elements by space using Distance X and Distance Y parameter values:

11 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Calculate Maximum in X and Y direction calculates maximum amount of virtual group elements is needed in X and Y direction for the current space.

12 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Offset from Original in X/Y Direction virtual group will be moved with offset from the beginning in X, Y direction. If these values are zero, virtual group elements will be centered in the room/space. Distances between first and last virtual group elements in the space can be checked in Calculated Data table.

13 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Factor of Distances defines multiple of distances. For example if Factor of Distances is set to 600 then distances between virtual group elements are rounded to the nearest number which is multiple of 600.

14 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Minimum Distance from Wall defines minimum distance of elements from the walls in the space for you own configuration of distribution of virtual group elements.

15 Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group Mirror X, Mirror Y mirrors virtual group in X and Y directions.

16 Alternative route to Insert/Manage Sprinklers as Virtual Group is by using our Insert elements application Insert as Virtual Group in Room/Space inserts elements as virtual group in the space with different boundaries. Description of these functions is the same as Insert Position Symbol as Virtual Group. 5 easy steps to insert the virtual group: 1. Select space or element in the space. Boundaries and parameters of selected space will be used; 2. Select a wall for detecting X direction; 3. Select what to insert; 4. Set configuration; 5. And press OK.

17 Insert Sprinklers to Position Symbols Inserts selected sprinkler type to selected virtual group in the project.

18 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Upright/Pendant Sprinklers by double clicking on the picture select pipe routing type for upright/pendant sprinklers:

19 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Configuration for pipe routing can be saved with user defined name for the future use. Configuration can be saved, renamed or deleted.

20 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Elevation of upright range pipe elevation of upright pipe from level:

21 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Add separate sprinklers if distance is less than adds separate pipes to sprinklers if the distance between main row and sprinklers is less that entered distance.

22 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Connection to tap or fitting without pipe with this option on it allows you to connect sprinklers directly to taps or fittings (e.g. BlazeMaster fittings) ON OFF Note: Connection type depends on range pipe type chosen which is discussed further.

23 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Note: You can define your own standards by creating folder with standard name and modifying text files inside those folders. Standard, Standard: range diameters and Standard : distribution pipes diameters- allows you to choose from predefined overall system, range pipe diameter and distribution pipe diameter standards. These standards defines rules for system calculations for pipe diameter, maximum possible sprinklers on range pipe with one diameter, etc.

24 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Sprinkler head adaptor, Range pipe type, Add cap to range pipe and Distribution pipe type these let you choose what family type to use for your sprinkler system. You can choose from family types loaded in project. Sprinkler pipe diameter lets you choose diameter of the pipe which connects sprinkler to range pipe. Note: Welded or mechanical connection can be used by choosing pipe types. Note: Sprinkler pipe can only be connected with fittings. No welded connection possible.

25 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Minimal distances HO, VO, etc. (distance/sprinkler pipe diameter defines coefficient of how many diameters of pipe you can fit between pipes. E.g. In the figure shown you have VO/Diameter = Minimal distances HO, VO, etc. (distance/sprinkler pipe diameter) 120/33=3,63 HO/Diameter = Minimal distances HO, VO, etc. (distance/sprinkler pipe diameter) 98/33=2,96 In this case it could be less than 3 because there s some space left, but for project consistency let s choose 3.

26 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Range pipe split distance measuring type defines whether pipe is split by fixed distance or by coefficient. Coefficient range from 0 to 1 and defines a multiplier for splitting. OR

27 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Insert range pipe sets configuration for Pendant and Upright sprinkler pipe connection. You can choose from three connection types.

28 Sprinkler Pipe Routing Configuration (SPRC) Maximal distance between "pendant" and "upright" rows for use common range pipe sets distance "pendant" upright" Lengthen range pipe from the extreme sprinkler lengthens pipe from last sprinkler on range and defines the length. >300 <=300

29 Connect Sprinklers to Distribution Pipe After setting sprinkler pipe routing configuration press OK and: Workflow 1. Select one sprinkler and distribution pipe for realization of all system. Workflow 2. Select more than one sprinkler and distribution pipe to customly choose which sprinklers you want to include into system.

30 Connect Sprinklers to Range Pipes (Current SPRC) Creates pipes from select sprinklers in space to range pipe using current configuration. Pipes will be created to the nearest range pipe. First select a sprinkler and then a range pipe:

31 Connect Sprinklers to Selected Pipes (Current SPRC) Creates pipes from select sprinklers in space to range pipe using current configuration. Pipes will be created to the nearest project pipe. First select a range pipe in any place and then a sprinkler:

32 Insert Fittings Insert Fittings splits selected pipe and insert fittings in the connection places. Select a pipe: Pipe is splitted and fittings are inserted:

Sprinkler systems distribution pipe configuration is updated in the same way as range pipe configuration.

36 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Finds sprinklers interference or interference with its clearance.

37 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Red line shows sprinkler that has an interference. Under expanded sprinkler (upper figure) there are elements that are closer than 500mm (or 2 ). Note: The distance is predefined in application. It will be configurable later in next releases..

38 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Interference Check dialog works in real time as external tool. User can work with the project and see updated results in the dialog.

39 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Group by clash object groups interference check results by clash object first. For example under expanded wall there are listed sprinklers:

40 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Parameters can be selected with Select Parameters. At the left side there are all available parameters. List of parameters can be bigger than usual, because the tool show parameters that are not visible for Revit users. To see just common parameters select Common Parameters. At the right side all selected parameters. Adding new or removing parameters are available with the commands Add and Remove. The order of parameters can be changed with Move Up and Move Down.

41 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space Draw Table - creates/updates table data in the drafting view with selected settings. Created table is grouped in drafting view. If the user ungroup the table then there will be no possibility to update the data.

42 Sprinkler Interference Check in Space NEW feature in v201x.03: More versatility in verifying your project! Sprinkler Type Interference Check in Space Checks sprinklers Interference in Space by chosen type. Sprinkler System Interference Check in Space Checks sprinkler system interference in Space. It takes into account all sprinkler system parts, including pipes, fittings, etc.
