Hi there,

You could start reading some posts:

How to place hangers on a cable tray or conduit

Hello, I am trying to get the element curve from cable tray or conduit. but I cant get anything to work. My idea is to split up the line into know segment lengths and then create a family by those points, however, I cant even get the curve into dynamo to even try to get started. Also, I cant use custom packages because of my IT department so please advise with only vanilla dynamo. Thanks! [image]

Hangers on Piping

Has anyone created a script that can place hangers on a pipe? I want to make the script so that it will place a hanger every 5’ or so. I just wanted to check to see if anyone has already made something like this. Or if anyone has any ideas of where to start. I started to mess around with the idea and im getting no where. This is what i have. [image]

I’m sure you can find more posts here using the search tools.

Then you could start with a simple script and ask some specific questions.

Cheers

Manel

The script i wrote works great for pipes and you can change the hanger type

You are right there is an error but how do you solve it please

[Nico_Stegeman]

do you have the package clockwork installed?
install package clockwork

i think it is an old one

and replace the node with Element.Location+

[trezatreza]

How do I find Element.Location in http://dynamopackages.com

[Nico_Stegeman]

go in dynamo to packages ( in the menu bar) and then search package and search for clockwork package

Thanks for that @ZJRODGERS – quite useful.

[trezatreza]

please
Do I work with you? Greg_McDowell

[Greg_McDowell]

Me? Not necessarily.

I get the sense that you’re pretty new to Dynamo, is that correct? If so, you should know that Dynamo isn’t always plug-in-play. The DYN that was shared is close (assuming you have the correct dependencies installed) but it only works with the Pipes category and only pipes that are dead flat. It can be extended to deal with sloped pipes as well as conduit and duct runs but it’s not exactly straight forward.

Once you get Clockwork installed and it working on flat pipes (over 1" diameter), I’d suggest giving these other changes a go and reporting back with specific questions as to issues.
