Creating Non Perpendicular Branch Tee

Packages
1

Hi, I am new to Dynamo and I would like to check if there is any way to create non perpendicular tee fitting with Dynamo. I have tried used MEPover’s package of Tee.By3MEPCurves and Tee.By2MEPCurves. These packages are perfectly fine if the branch pipe is perpendicular to the main pipe. But I can’t use them when the branch pipe is not perpendicular to the main pipe. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Sadly the methods from the Revit API used in those nodes only allow creation of tees to pipes perpendicular to the main pipe.
So the only way to create tees under an angle would be by going through the following steps:

  1. place new tee
  2. set the ‘angle parameter’ of the tee
  3. connect the tee to the pipes

Obviously that is quite a lot of work and also dependent on the way your tee family is built.

Hi T_Pover

Thanks for your reply and the steps you advised.
I will try to work on that. I am very clear on what to do with the 1st and 2nd steps. Any advice on step 3? Any nodes available to perform this tasks?

Thanks
