A single Equipment element generally is generally assigned to multiple MEP Systems (e.g.

Equipment - such as a furnace, with one or more connection ports.

Inline elements are straight segments open at both ends.

Inline element, such as a valve or filter, placed inside the route.

a Terminal - for example, a ceiling diffuser, or a grille or a sprinkler placed at the end of a pipe or duct.These include a Tee junction, a Wye junction, and a Take-off. Transitions are used to connect two MEP elements of different width/height/shape. This is a straight segment with unequal geometries at its two ends. Some Bends are inserted automatically during Routing, or as a result of editing MEP elements. Examples: Duct tool, Pipe tool and Cable Carrier tool. a Straight segment, such as a duct with identical geometry at either end.

The MEP Library contains specially configured MEP Elements. Both libraries are loaded automatically as part of the default ARCHICAD template. MEP-compatible Library Parts (with smart connections for use in duct, pipe and cabling systems) are found in both the MEP Library and in the regular ARCHICAD Library.
