Pipe (schematic)

MEP-SCH-PIPE

Schematic pipe for early coordination - medium in Reference.

Description

Simplified segment or volume for main routes (heating, cooling, water, wastewater, etc.).
Used for feasibility and clash checking, not for execution planning.

Modelling guidelines

Model as a volume or simplified segment; cross-section according to the sketch concept.
Set the medium in Reference (e.g. HZ, KZ, TW, AW, FL).
Do not model fittings, control valves, or connection details.
