and if you find way to set values to another category, please post here,

Hi Til

thank you for your effort, you’re very kind.

Your code works perfectly with Duct Fittings, too. The only problem was with Endcaps: they have only one connector, so Pressure Loss makes no sense with them. I just removed it with a list.filter in dynamo, and everithing worked perfectly.

Thank you!

#24

ok . please paste your final code there (or dyn .file) . its may help to another people

#25

Here’s the final .dyn

Set ASHRAE table value according to a Type Parameter.dyn (17.7 KB)
