Malaysian Autodesk reseller Acad Systems is running a free 30-minute online lesson on November 24, 2026 about building a ceiling air diffuser family in Revit MEP. It is a short, practical session on one of the families MEP teams most often need to make or fix themselves.
When and where
- Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2026
- Time: 15:00 to 15:30. The page text gives no time zone, but its calendar data uses Kuala Lumpur time (UTC+8), which makes it 08:00 to 08:30 in Paris. Confirm when you register.
- Format: live demo on Zoom
- Language: English
- Price: free. RSVP is compulsory and seats are limited to 50.
What it covers
According to the event page, the lesson goes through:
- modeling the diffuser geometry;
- adding adjustable parameters;
- placing an air connector so the family works with duct systems;
- loading and placing the family in a project;
- tips for making families reusable across projects.
Who should attend
Revit MEP modelers and BIM coordinators who build their own mechanical families, and anyone whose diffusers do not connect cleanly to ducts or report airflow correctly. The connector setup is usually where homemade families fail, so that part is worth the 30 minutes on its own.
The early time in Europe makes it easier to follow live from Asia. If you cannot attend, ask Acad Systems at registration whether a recording will be shared; the page does not mention one.
How to register
RSVP on the Acad Systems event page. Acad Systems ran a similar session on UBBL compliance checks for November 20, which we covered earlier this week.
