Dear Dynamo team,
i am planing to create program to calculate pipe quantities of project. Problem is there is 3 different types of pipes and each pipe type have 3 different sizes. So for example output should be like below (Output should be sorted also). Have you any suggestions? Should i use python for this or Dynamo is enough for this? (I don’t know python yet. )
Copper Pipe
6.35 - 10 meter
12.7 - 25 meter
22 - 15 meter
Steel Pipe
15 - 50 meter
20 - 25 meter
25 - 30 meter
PVC Pipe
50 - 30 meter
100 - 10 meter
150 - 45 meter
You can retrieve all the pipe types by using “Element.Type” node and then sort them by type name and at last use List.Count node with lacing to longest to get the quantities of each type. Hope it helps!
Dear Mostafa,
I tested script you send by photo. It did good on the result of material type pipe Length Calculation. However did not mentioned any sizes in the result. I mean:
Your script result become like:
Copper Pipe : 50 m
Steel Pipe : 105 m
PVC Pipe: 85 m
But what i wanted:
Copper Pipe
6.35 - 10 meter
12.7 - 25 meter
22 - 15 meter
Steel Pipe
15 - 50 meter
20 - 25 meter
25 - 30 meter
PVC Pipe
50 - 30 meter
100 - 10 meter
150 - 45 meter
Dear Jason,
You are right. What i am doing to reduce time lost and making mistake during preparing BOQ. I mean i am tring to prepare BOQ directly from Dynamo.
Hello Mostafa.
I am using the script you have given its works superbly well thanks for that i am a beginner in dynamo is there any node i can write this to excel i tries write to file but its not working please help me out , thanks in advance
Hey Jason,
I thought I could do it easy with a schedule, but it seem that I cant filter by type, only size and length. So I can olnly get the total length of all the pipes, and not the length of all the steel pipes, and all the flex pipes. So what am I doing wrong here?
