15 Right-click Hydronic Supply 1, and click Select.
The hydronic supply system highlights in red indicating the logical connection.
IMPORTANT Although you can draw pipe to create the physical pipe connections, you must create
a system for Revit MEP to perform calculations such as flow and pressure. Remember that systems
can be created before or after pipe, or even without pipe being drawn.
16 Repeat this method to validate the Hydronic Return System logical connection.
17 If you want to save your work, click File menu ➤ Save.
18 In the Save As dialog, enter Creating Piping Systems Training for File name, navigate to the
folder of your choice, and click Save.
In this exercise, you created the supply and return piping systems to logically connect the radiators and
boiler. You learned how the System Browser organizes system components and systems, and you used the
System Browser to confirm and validate the newly created systems. Now that you logically connected the
piping system components, in the next exercise, you create the level 2 pipe runs to physically connect the
system components.
Creating Pipe Runs
In this exercise, you design 2 pipe layouts and then create the supply and return pipe runs based on these
layouts. The pipe runs physically connect the level 2 radiators. In a later exercise, you connect the boiler to
the pipe runs.
