Here is the course outline:

Welcome

We, Graphisoft, believe in the continuous innovation of our products and services. Therefore, we perfect our tools and workflows in each MEP Designer version to empower teams to create more reliable and efficient building services designs.

Module I | Connectivity & Editing

Explore MEP Designer's latest connectivity and editing improvements, designed to keep MEP systems intact while you work — including automatic alignments when moving connected elements, more flexible connections between different system types, easier rotating and flipping of accessories and terminals, and more controlled graphical editing of MEP elements.

Module II | Geometry & Visual Routing

Explore MEP Designer’s latest routing geometry improvements, including more flexible slope values for gravity-based and e.g. roof-parallel systems, and a new transparent architectural view for coordinating MEP design with the building structure.

Module III | System Setup & Distribution Systems

Explore the updated MEP Systems dialog, where system types are now categorized by distribution system for clearer organization and more consistent route graphics.

Module IV | Schematic Representation & Floor Plan Display

Explore the expanded control over how MEP routes and elements are displayed on the floor plan, supporting coordination views, schematic plans, and documentation-focused output from the same model.

Module V | Symbols & Custom Symbol Options

Explore the expanded options for creating and applying custom MEP symbols, so floor plan representation can be adapted to your own office standards.

Module VI | Hydronic Cooling Calculation

Explore how cooling systems are now integrated into MEP Designer's hydronic calculation workflow, alongside existing heating functionality.

Module VII | Repairing Broken MEP Connections

Explore the new Repair Open Connection function, which helps identify and resolve hidden logical connection issues in your MEP model.

Module VIII | CALHYDRA Connection

Explore the CALHYDRA Connection Add-on, which extends MEP Designer's workflow to detailed hydraulic analysis based on European and German standards.

Module IX | Basic Electrical System Design

Explore the new electrical design capabilities in MEP Designer, extending the platform to support panels, circuits, connected devices, and electrical documentation.
