Quick one - This tool exists in RME 2009 though it does not appear on the Drafting Design Bar tab. It can be found under the Drafting Menu. The answer is YES, you can drafting the traditional insulation when doing details using RME 2009. Yes, it is missing from RST 2009.

Dept. of Unfair - Revit MEP - Interference/Insulation
Justin wrote to me via a comment earlier today in another post so the inspiration for this post goes to him, thanks!
He wrote:
I've run into a little quirk and would like to pose the question. I'm trying to do multiple discipline coordination and ran into this problem. When we have a duct (Revit MEP) and use the insulation parameter to add onto it, "interference check" doesn't recognize a clash with only the insulation. Is this normal? Is there a workaround? As soon as the wall/beam collides with the duct itself, the "interference check" recognizes the clash. Any insight into this is appreciated. Thanks!
I replied. "Yes, that has been my observation as well, sorry!"
This one is insulation "being interfered with":
This one is the insulation and now the duct too:
I recommended that they contact Revit support to file a support request so that they either get another or get one if by chance they haven't already encountered the issue.
Yes, methinks it is "unfair"! Insulation deserves the same credibility that ducts get in Interference Check. Even better Interference Check ought to be "smart" enough to distinguish between a "hard" conflict and a "soft" conflict. My two tarnished pennies!
