Patterns and the image
The focus of this module is Patterns and the Image. Before you start building your items for fabrication, it is important to use a pattern that is going to meet your needs. In this module, you learn what patterns work in Fabrication CADmep, ESTmep, and Revit. You also will set an image to your new item.

This module takes approximately 25 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to:
- Create a new item
- Use an existing item to create a similar item
- Make and apply the button image
Before you start
- Please make sure you have the Autodesk Fabrication CADmep software loaded.
- If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.
- To collaborate with other industry professionals taking the module, or if you have questions or feedback during the module, please visit the module Forum.
Create product lists
This module focuses on Product Lists creation. Once your item has been created, the next step is to gather and import the manufacture data into the Product List. You will learn what data is needed and how to get it. You will also learn the importance of using Product IDs.

MEP connectors
The focus of this module is Connectors Creation. You will learn how to create a new connector and set the proper options. One of the unique aspects of Autodesk Fabrication CADmep is its connectors and connectivity allowing intelligence in the modeling process. With this intelligence, you can control what connects to what and bring in items automatically, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
