Finding Space pipe accessory resides in

#1

Hello,

I am trying to report the space a pipe accessory resides in within my model, however I am struggling to achieve this.

Pipe accessories do not have a room calculation point and they are not space aware? Also they are invariably in a ceiling void which is not included within a mechanical space? Is there a work around within Dynamo?

Any ideas/help would be gratefully received

How to find the space name with an element's X,Y and Z coordinates?

Let us know how it goes. Another good piece of info is, where do you expect the pipe to read? Centerline, endpoints?

We recently looked at this same issue for cable trays on revit forum. http://www.revitforum.org/dynamo-bim/28331-get-name-space-room-where-element-dynamo.html
