Creating Vertical Section View in AutoCAD MEP
Vertical section is the section created by using a vertical plane passing through the object to be sectioned. To create a vertical section in AutoCAD MEP, choose the Vertical Section tool from the Section & Elevation panel of the Home tab in the Ribbon of AutoCAD MEP; you will be prompted to specify the start point of the section line. Click in the drawing area to specify the start point of the section; you will be prompted to specify the next point of the section line. Click in the drawing area to specify the end point of section line; you will be prompted again to specify the next point for the section line. Press ENTER at the command prompt; you will be prompted to specify the length of the bounding box. Enter the length of the section area at the command prompt; the section line will be created. Below figure A shows a drawings with the section line created and figure B shows the same drawing with section view created.

Workflow of HVAC System in AutoCAD MEP
Workflow is a sequence of connected steps required to create a specific type of system. It is dependent on the type of system. For an HVAC system, the workflow is shown in below Figure.
The steps involved in the workflow of HVAC system are discussed next.
Specifying the HVAC Parameters
In this step, you need to specify all the basic parameters required to create an HVAC system. Some of the parameters are duct size, duct rise and drop, flow rate, cut length, and so on. On the basis of these parameters, the hierarchy of drawings in project will be decided.
Starting a Project
In this step, you need to create a project file to link the drawings of a system to each other. For example, the drawings related to HVAC system will be interlinked and will be in the same project. As a result, you can easily manipulate the parameters of the system.
Linking System File to the Architectural Plan
To create an HVAC system, you need to have an architectural plan. In this step, you will link the HVAC system file to the architectural plan file using the Project Navigator. After the completion of this step, you can reroute the HVAC lines according to the architectural plan.
Specifying Spaces and Zones
In this step, you need to create spaces and zones using the tools available in AutoCAD MEP. These spaces are used for exporting the building information related to the heating and cooling loads. The spaces are further divided into zones which represent the actual heating and cooling loads.
Calculating Loads
In this step, you need to calculate the heating and cooling loads for the building. These calculations are performed by using the analysis tools available in AutoCAD MEP.

Introduction to HVAC system in AutoCAD MEP
An HVAC system is used for maintaining desired environmental conditions in a specific area. It is composed of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. To create an HVAC system, you need to know the heating load of the desired area by using thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer principles. These load settings are used to determine the capacity of equipment to be added for HVAC. AutoCAD MEP has all the necessary tools to calculate all the heating loads and design the complete HVAC system for a building.
