I just typed this whole thing up and my explorer crashed….. Here it goes, short version this time. First off, I would like to thank everyone on here for sharring information and providing help to those in need, it really does make a difference, so thank you. I work for a small drafting company and wespecialize in BIM coordination. I amusing MEP 2012 and love it for coordination with other trades. Most of my work is electrical. One of the companies we work for is going tostart a Pre-Fab division and wants us to create all of their Pre-Fab drawingsafter the work is coordinated. Last weekwe went to a meeting on TSI’s CADElect/CADPipe, and almost everything theprogram has to offer can be done in MEP. I prefer the level of customization available with MEP vs theCADElect. However, the one thing thatdid stand out was the couplings in CADElect. You can select a cut length for a conduit in both programs, but in MEPit will simply divide a conduit up into the specified length and in CADElect itwill place a coupling between them. Isthere a way to get these couplings to be automatically added in MEP? I searched the Google Machine and came upempty handed. Any input on this matteris greatly appreciated. I don’t want toleave the MEP, but I might have to….

Hey guys and gals new Forum member here so I hope this a good place to post this question. I am running ac mep 2012 and working for a electrical eng firm. My question is in 2012 when I draw 3d conduit and draw conduit crossing or on top of current conduit at a different elevation what ever is below is shown as a hidden line. now even if I isolate and regen it still doesnt show up or parts ar still shown as hidden. its driving me crazy trying to find the right disply to fix and help would be much appritiated. Thanks Qwaak
