Kick 90
With the help of the BIMrx MEP - Kick 90 command, the Revit user can connect two round MEP runs together by a 90 degree elbow rotated and connected to a user-specified angle. User can perform a kick 90 on conduit, pipe, or round duct. This command can be used in 2D and 3D views and will work on elements that are not in the same X, Y or Z axis. Elements must be perpendicular and non-co-planer to auto place the appropriate rolling 90.
In Revit:
- In the ribbon, navigate to the BIMrx tab >> BIMrx MEP panel >> Roll Into Conduit command:
- Select two MEP elements (conduits, pipe, round duct):
- Select a MEP element that will have attached the 90 degree elbow.
- Select a second MEP element to connect into.
This opens the Kick 90 Settings dialog:
- Select Angle to Use - Select a typical angle from the drop-down. The list shows typical angles:
- User also has the option to insert a Custom Angle if the desired angle is not in the drop-down.
The command will connect the first element to the second element from the first selected element’s end point with a 90 degree elbow and connect to the second selected element at the user-defined angle.
Example of selecting two (2) conduits to define angle:
