Mapping insulation and fittings

Revit
1

Hello

As many of you already know, the “Length” parameter on Pipe or Duct insulation is "Not Computed"
I had made my fittings families so they are able to calculate the center line length on all fittings. Now I need to copy the length from my fittings, to the insulation on the fittings.

The question:
Is it possible somehow to find the mapping between fittings and the insulation on a fitting?

There is no issue for the length on straight ducts and pipes because Revit give us this length.

the fittings insulation element has a property called “HostElementId” have you tried fetching that?

Hello

I have solved to get the host Id with python. I now only need to map the host Id from Pipe insulation with Pipe Fittings Id
To get the right order, I just use a simple sort node, but then I need to get the element id from the sorted list with string Id’s.

I saw this topic: http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/id-string-to-elements/

Thanks for the help

Instead of finding the host element ID we just find the Element ID on the host, and then we are able to copy fitting length to insulation on the fitting
