Hi all,
AlignPartByConnectors method does not properly align the fittings with the pipe connector which makes the connection fail.
t = Transaction(doc, 'Connect p-Trap')
t.Start()
# Pipe Resize
for pipe in pickedPipes:
pipeSize = pipe.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_PRODUCT_ENTRY).AsValueString()
pipeLength = pipe.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_PART_LENGTH).AsDouble()
# Reduce pipe length
newPipeLength = pipeLength - pipe_size_to_x.get(pipeSize)
#pipe.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_PART_LENGTH).Set(newPipeLength)
pipeList.append(pipe)
for pipe in pipeList:
pipeService = pipe.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_SERVICE_PARAM).AsValueString()
pipeSize = pipe.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_PRODUCT_ENTRY).AsString()
# Open connector
pipeConSet = pipe.ConnectorManager.UnusedConnectors
pconIterator = pipeConSet.ForwardIterator()
pconIterator.MoveNext()
pCon = pconIterator.Current
ptrapButton = getButton(fabServices, pipeService, 0, 23)
# Create p-Trap fitting
fabFitting = FabricationPart.Create(doc, ptrapButton, 0, level.Id)# doc, fitting button, condition, level id
for c in fabFitting.ConnectorManager.Connectors:
if c.Id ==1:# horizontal connector
ptrapCon1 = c
else:
ptrapCon2 = c# vertical connector
# just aligns, no joining
FabricationPart.AlignPartByConnectors(doc, ptrapCon1, pCon, math.radians(0))#doc, fitting con, pipe con, angle
# elbow size = pipe size
fabFitting.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.FABRICATION_PRODUCT_ENTRY).Set(pipeSize)
# Align Again?*
# Connect with p-Trap
FabricationPart.ConnectAndCouple(doc, ptrapCon1, pCon)#doc, pTrapCon, pipeCon
t.Commit()
*I also tried aligning the fabFitting again using any one of the below two methods. But it rotates and tosses the fittings around.
ElementTransformUtils.MoveElement(doc, fabFitting.Id, pCon.Origin)
FabricationPart.SetPositionByEnd(fabFitting, ptrapCon1, pCon.Origin)
