Locate Ducts and pipes in spaces/zone

[Salma_BOUAICH]

Hi,

I’m trying to locate ducts and pipes in my project.
I noticed that it’s easier to locate ducts and pipes in levels then in zones, spaces … (2D).

In order to do so, i tried to use element.location node to be able to get pipe’s coordinate, but when i connect the results with the boudingBox.Contains i get an empty list.

Is there an other way to locate ducts and pipe in spaces ?

Thanks in advance,

Try to change BB.Contains lacing

Hi Salma,

You need to connect Points list to “BoundingBox.Contains”. Currently your connecting “Empty List” to it.

And make sure you change lacing.

Thank you for your responses.

I’ve changed the lacing :), and i’m trying now to append a new parameter that can indicate where the duct/pipe is located.

My goal is that the parameter “localisation” will copy the space name automatically.

I’ve created two spaces in my project and i used Element.setparameterbyname to do so, but i didn’t get the expected results. there are just two pipes of which the location parameter have been named and not correctly :(.

Does anyone have an ideas or recommendations ?

Thank you

Just throwing this out there. There is also a node in Rhythm called Space.IsPointInside, that tests if a point falls within a space.

I used this when I made this

You can probably use a similar logic if you wanted to get the midpoint of the duct.
