Connect Pipes With the Series of Manhole

[imaliasad]

Hi there, I’ve created a script that instantiated manhole on a series of points that were generated on a property line. Now I’d like to instantiate a pipe and connect its open and close end with each next manhole in the series. Would appreciate if someone suggest how do I achieve this functionality with dynamo. Thank you in advance.

A link to your previous post and a screenshot of your current graph would be useful

Making 2D Property Lines Follow Topography in Revit and Instantiating Hosted Family on It

Hi I’ve watched MARCELLO SGAMBELLURI video on making properties lines that follow topography [Link]. The tutorial is great, author explained it very well. However, I’m struggling on instantiating hosted families on top of topography. In my case, the non-hosted families got instantiated below the topography. I am newbiew to dynamo, would appreciate if someone explain how do I instantiate the hosted families on top of topography. Thank you. Here’s my dynamo code. [dynamo code]

Nice, please send a screenshot of your updated graph so everybody can quickly see what you are talking about

Hi @Yna_Db I’ve just created a new thread for it. Because I think I should ask simple question first then figure out how to use this knowledge to solve the complex problem. Here is the link to the thread, would appreciate if you would like to share some thoughts on it. Thank you

Create a Pipe from Point A to Point B

Hello friends, I’ve just started using dynamo few days ago. I’ve created a basic graph that creates two point (A,B). Now, I would like to create a pipe whose open-end becomes point A and its close-end becomes point B as shown in the following image below but I’m struggling doing it in the dynamo, would appreciate if someone provide any guide that would help me to achieve this functionality in dynamo. Thank you [create a pipepoint a to b]

Hello friends, so far, I’ve been able to solve one part of the problem (connect a pipe from point A to point B) I hope by following this solution I will be able to connect the pipe with all the manholes in the series. I hope someone could share their experience opinion on it. However, I’ll be working on its complete solution, if i find it, will share with the community. Appreciate the support, really enjoying working with Dynamo. Thnak you

Thanks @T_Pover for publishing the amazing package ‘MEPover’. It helped me to play with pipes easily. And thanks @jacob.small for sharing this info with me. Appreciate your support. Here’s the solution if a beginner wanted to see.[Pipe by point solution]

How to insert a family on each pipe?

Short answer: it’s not possible. Long answer:I’ve thought about this a few times but there’s a series of steps involved that might make it possible, but I haven’t tried it myself. The Revit API won’t allow you to insert a pipe fitting or pipe accessory directly into a pipe so a workaround is necessary. These would be my presumed steps: Break up the pipe at the point of insertion by shortening the existing pipe Insert the family and connect with the existing pipe create a new pipe from the fit…

@Yna_Db appreciate your input, will share my feedback later after I figure out how do I use this information to solve my problem.
Good Day.
