Trimble MEPcontent Reviews & Product Details

I like using Trimble MEPcontent for a few different reasons. I started my CAD journey using native Revit duct/piping and added in Trimble Sysque. I found that using these took a lot of control away from me in selecting what type of fitting or ductwork to use because it processed ductwork for you. For basic jobs without a lot of offsetting and complexity, this is fine. But once I got into complex systems, I was finding myself looking for ways to work around the automated part of Revit for duct and piping. I started using fabrication services through Revit, but it was missing a lot of fittings. Trimble MEPcontent filled that gap for me with a database of fittings, ductwork, piping, plumbing, etc., that I can add to my fabrication service in Revit. With Trimble MEPcontent, I have been able to control the type of fittings to use in my models, and it has sped up my workflow since I have more variety. I use Trimble MEPcontent daily, and it would be hard for me to switch from this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish Trimble MEPcontent would incorporate better into Revit, whether that is through having an interface or a standalone program. When you add fittings, you have to do it through AutoCAD Fabrication, and it is not intuitive for people who have not worked with AutoCAD much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the pre-populated BIM objects in Trimble MEPcontent useful for my MEP design projects. The managed ITM (Intelligent Transportation Management) comprises of useful aspects such as the labor cost and fabrication details to ease estimation and construction.

Most of the time, the search for specific objects becomes a frustrating endeavor to accomplish. Some of the Search options appear to be basic and performing keyword searches don’t return the most related results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides up-to-date BIM models for 3D software, AutoCAD 2D Blocks, Revit materials and object families, IFC files, and more. Additionally, some objects are free to try in BIM projects for architects, engineers, and contractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All about Trimble MEPcontent is positive, there is no point in saying there is any problem or point of dislike. It is the best in its own way... I am very satisfied with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a large amount of options to choose from with the ability to filter by type, category, program, etc. I have never ran into an issue where I can't download the files due to a file version issue. All files that I have found are created in an older version of a program and then get upgraded once you download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from there being a lot of files as a good thing, it is also confusing depending on the category you are looking for. More than once I have had to scroll through several pages to find something that I needed to use. Luckily you can mark it as a favorite later, but the initial looking is time-consuming.

Trimble MEP content provide models of MEP equipments, fitting, pumps, panels and other bend or fittings we often require for BIM modeling thus save our time of designing, increase our productivity and help us to make BIM model with detailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trimble MEP contents models sometimes do not match with the actual dimension of the equipment available in catalog thus can make our calculation wrong while doing modeling and while executing on site. So can result into clashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lot of tools and parts that come with subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside is that when connecting to the servers, my computer crashed on a consistent basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
