Delve into the intricacies of a plumbing floor plan for a hotel guest suite on level one and understand how 3D models, piping lines, and legends contribute to the overall design. Explore the details of the piping system's fluid flow, holding unique characteristics such as chilled water, hot water, and a hot water converter, all mapped out in the keynote legend and general notes.
Key Insights
- The plumbing floor plan for the hotel guest suites on level one includes detailed legends and notes indicating the type and size of the piping used.
- The plan employs 3D models created in Revit to represent the piping system in the building, emphasizing the use of dominant geometry in line types.
- Throughout the building, the design maintains consistency in its use of keynotes, call-outs, and branching information, especially evident in interstitial spaces - the areas between a dropped ceiling and the actual floor level.

Let's spend a few minutes looking at the plumbing floor plan for the hotel guest suites on level one. You can see that we have a keynote legend and general notes. The piping lines come in from the main part of the building.
You can see that they're using the legend to define the type of piping. They're calling out the size of the pipe. Within the guest suites, there is chilled water, hot water, and a hot water converter.
If I zoom in very closely, you can see the actual 3D models that were used in Revit to model the piping, while a line type is used to represent the dominant geometry. And this same situation is happening throughout the building, where components branch off within the interstitial space. Interstitial space means the area between a dropped-in ceiling and the actual floor level.
So again, there is consistency across all suites, with information branching off, call-outs, and keynotes, leading us to the end of the line. So it's relatively straightforward. Again, it's great to see how the Revit 3D model components are integrated into the building.
