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:
