Experimenting with MEP models for the first time in Qonic.
We made a very simple model with some ducting, couple of air terminals, nothing fancy. I tried uploading in Qonic in two different ways:
- Revit IFC export (IFC2x3)
- Revit model directly into the Qonic dashboard
The results look a bit different, which is normal of course. Now in both cases the ducts show as completely solid. I am used to other viewers showing everything only by their faces even when they are solid. But in this case I’d rather see ‘shells’ instead of solid.
Then there is the question of changes made to the model. For architectural models there already is some logic in Qonic. eg. When moving/copying/transforming a door/window the surrounding elements get adapted automatically.
But when doing something similar with an air terminal, the system breaks. Probably this is already somewhere on the roadmap. Would be very nice to have the same functionality so that we can do small changes from Qonic and not rely on Revit for those.
