The MEP Modeler can improve design quality, point out clashes, and detect problem areas well before they become actual problems.

This course lets you quickly learn how to turn your 2D MEP drawings into 3D. What’s more, you’ll learn how the entire team will benefit from improved collaboration and communication and streamlined project delivery across building system design, fabrication, and installation. We will show you how an accurate understanding of MEP systems works within a space speeds the entire design process.
