Hello everyone, I’m trying to develop a way to automatically create pipes in my project, going from point A to point B. Without any intersection and using the shortest path possible. However, I can’t think of a way in which this is automatically functional within Revit through visual programming within dynamo. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I am very grateful in advance for your attention.

Hi Clauber,  
Please review this post [How to get help on the Dynamo forums](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-get-help-on-the-dynamo-forums/4677)  
There are going to be many strategies available to optimise a pipe network, however going from A to B isn’t always a straight line. A search of Google Scholar will get you some papers to start thinking of strategies  
My first thought would be to get a oriented enclosing rectangle of points A & B then use the most suitable horizontal & vertical edges to create your pipes
