FABRICATION

MEP Spooling (Revit Spool Drawings)

Pipe and duct spool drawings broken down for shop fabrication, generated directly from the coordinated LOD 400 model.

The Problem

What goes wrong without it

  • Manually breaking a model into fabrication spools is slow and error-prone.
  • Spool numbering and tagging inconsistencies cause mismatches between drawing and shop floor.
  • Spool drawings that don't match the coordinated model create rework at install.
Our Solution

How OmegaBIM approaches it

Spools are broken down and tagged directly from the coordinated LOD 400 model, with consistent numbering carried through to installation drawings — so what's fabricated matches what was coordinated.

Workflow

The same four-stage delivery model, applied to mep spooling.

01

Model Lock

LOD 400 federated model reaches signed-off, clash-free status.

02

Spool Breakdown

Pipe and duct runs broken into fabrication-length spools per shop capacity.

03

Tagging & Numbering

Consistent spool numbering carried from drawing through to installation.

04

Issue

Spool drawings and schedules issued in your fabricator's required format.

Frequently asked

What systems can be spooled?

+

Pipe (mechanical, plumbing, fire protection) and ductwork, broken down to your fabricator's shop capacity and transport constraints.

Do spool numbers carry through to installation?

+

Yes — numbering is kept consistent from the spool drawing through to the installation sequence, to avoid on-site mismatches.

What LOD does spooling require?

+

LOD 400 — spooling depends on the model already carrying real fitting and support detail.
