How Can CAD Drafters Coordinate Slab Openings for MEP Services Without Conflicting with Structural Beams?

Coordinating slab openings for MEP services requires more than checking beam outlines on a plan. This article explains how CAD drafters can define opening dimensions, verify service routes in section, identify structural conflicts, and track approvals and revisions. A practical example demonstrates how to detect a beam overlap and document a coordinated solution before drawings reach the construction site.
