Filtering of vertical pipes

[dsmith]

Ultimately, I am trying to place valves in pipes that intersect a plumbing fixture bounding box. I am attempting to filter out entities that have any vertical change in them as that is causing for some funny looking 3D renderings.

The output I currently have is a list of pipes with Line(StartPoint…, Direction = Vector(X=0.000, Y=0.000, Z=10.000). How do you access that portion of the data in a Geometry.Line object type?

Figured it out from here:

Insert pipe sleeve at wall intersection with rotation and size

Thank you everyone for pointing me in the right direction! I was finally able to finish it up with your suggestions. I ended up using the following packages: Archi-lab Grimshaw Clockwork Bakery and I think I have something from Springs So, here’s what it does: Automatically find 1 and 2 hour fire rated walls in a linked model. Select all horizontal pipes in the current model. Clash for insertion point and filter out any pipes that do not intersect. Insert a pipe sleeve at clash point. Se…

Earlier in the script I filter by slope to remove any that have a non computed slope (horizontal is 0, vertical is Not Computed).
