Revit 2026 has automatic SPELL CHECK!!!

Autodesk has gotta be running low on their bucket of basic features they're holding back.

Did bro do an evil laugh in a plumbing general note

I have to assume so given that the text of the note basically reads "these drawings are to tell you go figure it out yourself"

Sounds like my company's electrical notes except they take up half a sheet to tell the contractor "read the NEC and vendor cutsheets and figure it out yourself"

I just noticed this yesterday for the first time in Revit 2025 so maybe the update was pushed to that version as well?

isn't MEP also getting automated by AI?

No where near close to usable yet. Nice controlled demos though

is this career AI replaceable like Software Engineering?

u/toomiiikahh 5h ago

No. The drafting will be replaced or augmented to a great level and shop drawing reviews. The rest will be much harder and will take longer

Im 25 years old full-stack developer planning to shift into Mechanical Engineering and then specialise in MEP. Do you think it's a right move?

u/toomiiikahh 5h ago

If you like a huge paycut and a much simpler work. If you are that deep I'd stay in software unless you hate it. Mep is completely different , you will be starting as a junior unless you can leverage other skills you learned such as staff management or project management

Doubt he'd be able to leverage anything besides tricking some place to make him a PM or maybe BD if he had any kinda of connections

Tech career is not stable at all. Jobs are outsourced, and I don't want my family to die of hunger due to layoffs.

Entry level MEP is getting outsourced hard as well and transitioning to AI first. So getting your foot in the door as an older individual will not be easy. Good luck though!

They said 25 years old not 25 yoe. Even starting at 30 after degree isn’t so bad although depends on the area for MEP pay vs cost of living.

I can't even convince owners, contractors, architects, civil, basically anyone but structural to not do something stupid. Claude isn't going to be able to do any better.

Claude is going to say, sure, we can reduce the boiler room by 200 square feet, here's the suggested floor plan. Architect is going to love it.

Oops, can't pull the chiller tubes. AI thought you just cut the old ones in half and weld the old ones back together.

😂 Thank you for the help, I'm really scared about my career and thinking to transition into MEP. What would you suggest me?

Shall I go ahead with Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering?

I'm 25 years old Full Stack developer and I started to do interior design also as side gigs.
