MEPover package published

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on my current predicament tying multiple fittings together. The thread is here:

Hello, I’m trying to use your package with ducts but I encounter a problem with the duct by line node :slight_smile:

Any idea why it wont create the duct ?

Best regards,
AM

After the all elements of type node. Try to flatten that list, i believe that the node does not accept a list as an input.

You are feeding it a duct, instead that should be a duct type.

I’m feeding a Duct Type now but i’m still getting no result.

Is it the Mechanical System Type which is wrong ?

Yes, you are right. If you check the type of that node then you will see that it returns a string and that is not what you need in this case.

It’s working !!! Thanks a lot !

Hi there,

New to Dynamo and trying to use this tool, I have followed the forum for troubleshooting. Each time I ask the attached to run my computer crashes. Have I currently used the node?

Thanks in advance.

Could it be that you have your graph set to run in ‘automatic’ mode? If so you set it to ‘manual’.

That worked! Thanks very much, I now have this network. Do you have any examples of how to create connections (elbows, tee, transitions etc.)?

I am having trouble with the Elements in Connected Network node working intermittently. I’m working in a detached model, so I am the only person in it, and I am changing nothing between tests, and yet it only works half the time. When it works, it works fantastically, but I need this to work reliably over multiple projects. Any suggestions or advice what might make this work regularly?

I did update the node a little while back so you could try downloading a newer version of the package. If that does not resolve anything it would be nice if you could share a test project with that same irregular behaviour so I can do some testing.

Hi there,

I have used the Curve to Elbow node to create the attached network, I would like the whole system to be attached this requires adding shoes to branched ductwork.

Is there an established method for doing this? I’ve tried the connect into nodes with no success.

Please find attached my code. Thanks in advance.

And here is what I’m trying to achieve:

You could make use of the ‘Tap.By2MEPCurves’ node: image
It will require some extra work though as you have to specify the main and branch ducts for it to work.

Can’t download the MEPover package thru the Package Manager.

What Dynamo version are you on, how are you launching Dynamo, and can you access https://www.dynamopackages.com/ directly?

Hello T-Pover.
I am using your package and it’s great, thank you.
Now I am trying to create pipes by lines, with elbows and other junctions.
With elbows, it’s working great, but are there another way to create other junctions without specifying main and branch pipe?

Hi Tom,

Sadly there isn’t any way to do so. The Revit API methods that provide in the creation of tees, taps and such will always require a certain order of connector inputs for creation of said fittings.
