Revit MEP Connectors

Connectors is what makes Revit MEP different than all the other flavors of Revit. They collect and pass information about system types and flows of air, fluid, and electricity. They can also be really confusing and have a ton of data behind them. More than I can pack into a single post.


To help provide the best information I am providing links to the places I have gone over the years to figure it out.
