Recently, all available wall plates on MEP content have been equipped with a new functionality. The wall plates have a parameter that regulates the position within the wall. A much heard user wish was to enable this in two directions. It is now possible to place the wall plate not only within the wall, but also with an offset from the wall, with the same parameter. This can be done by using negative values in the parameter.

Wall plates can now be fully adapted to the requirements of your pipeline system. Download generic or SANHA wall plates Revit families and 3D dwg’s from MEPcontent, or directly within a BIM project using the MEPcontent browser for Revit or Autocad.

Let engineers all over the world work directly with your products in Revit through a customized app with your company name attached to it.

BIM is increasingly important. Make sure to reach MEP engineers at the moment of design- and purchase decision with your own customized app for Revit. Understand who download your app, from what country and how they use your products in their Revit project by placing objects. And tie this in-app product placing metric to your product sales overview to learn what product placements in projects mean to your turnover.

Discover the 4 steps to get your app, watch the video.

Find out how other manufacturers reach thousands of MEP engineers with their own app, visit the MEPcontent store.

The MEPcontent browser app is now compatible with Revit 2018 and Autocad 2018. With the updated MEPcontent browser you can quickly find the content you need, directly from within your BIM project. The app for Revit and Autocad allows you to search the largest library for MEP engineers and enrich your project with manufacturer specific 3D content.

The browser is available for free on the MEPcontent apps page and opens from the Add-ins (Revit) or Plug-ins (AutoCAD) ribbon. In the browser you will find the same powerful search engine as on the MEPcontent platform. This makes it easy to search and find the content you need.

The MEPcontent browser app has been available for quite some time already, but is recently updated with some new features:

- Added support for type catalog families. You can directly select and insert the family type you would like to use into your project.
- Back to overview button: easily return to your search results or previous overview.
- Request content: a button and form is added to simplify the process of making a request for content.

Want to see the browser in action? Check out the video for a demonstration or download the app for free from our apps page.
