Auto Routing

This is a new command in [N] MEP that further advances the existing “Roll Into Main” command. Compatible with the ‘Pipe’ MEP System Family, Auto Routing will roll the branch Pipe into a main with a user-specified, custom angle elbow - then complete the connection with a tee.

Figure 3

The steps to successfully execute an Auto Routing are as follows (see Figure 3):

1. In [N] MEP, click the Auto Routing button.
2. In the Options Bar, choose a Default Angle at which the Elbow Fitting will be. As seen above, the default angle value options are: 5, 11.25, 22.5, 30, 45, 60, and 90.
3. Instead of choosing a Default Angle in step 2, the Custom parameter can be used to enter a non-Default value for the Elbow Fitting to be set.
4. Select main Pipe.
5. Select branch Pipe.

Result: The Elbow Fitting is angled as set in the Options Bar with a connecting, angled Pipe, plus the Tee Fitting as set in the Pipe Type’s Routing Preferences.

Note: For v3.11, Auto Routing currently only is compatible with a branch and main that are perpendicular or 90-degrees to each other.

Licensing Updates: Login/Logout

Naviate Login and Logout is now possible in an active Revit session, no longer requiring closing and re-opening Revit to release or activate a license.

After opening the About/Licensing dialog in [N] MEP or [N] Fabrication, Naviate Login and Naviate Logout buttons are now available. These buttons can be used in the Revit session, without the need to restart Revit Login and re-activate the Naviate license.

If you decline Login at Revit startup, or had no connection to the Internet, clicking Naviate Login at the About/Licensing dialog will open the default browser to sign in to your Symetri account. Additionally, there is an option to scan a QR code to direct to the appropriate web link to sign in.

Note: Logging out and Logging back in with a different Symetri account is currently not possible in v3.11. It is only possible at this time to Log back in using same email address (Symetri account) that was used at the time of Logging out.
