So I've the whole Building Design Suite Ultimate installed on my machine, but I've never opened RVT-MEP or RVT-RST, and although I could and save you all the trouble of reading this, but I think it's a topic worth conversation, so....
I'm presently engaged in talks with one of our acoustic engineers, looking to see how we might better align our collobrative workflows, and it turns out they're using Sketchup abstractions of our Revit models (not .dwgs exported from Revit imported into the Sketchup, but models built anew!) to do their analysis with what looks like quite primitive software.
Obviously, it'd be nicer if it were all the more holistic, and acoustic analysis could be done like we can with thermal, so I was wondering if RVT-MEP had acoustic analysis in it these days?
And if not why not?
And if the reasons for why not turn out to be "because there's Ecotect" then how does that work for MEP designers only using RVT-MEP ? That suggests (to me) that RVT-MEP is only good for documentation? And so, I guess, does anyone use Ecotect? And if so, are you architects, MEP or both?
