Wondering if Element.space not working for pipe/ pipe fitting elements? Is there an obvious reason or I am missing something?
I want the pipes to report the room they are in.
I understand they are not like loadable families to have a room calculation point - but how do i get their space.
I have tried the tool get surrounding elements but my definition is taking forever and look to make it leaner.
Regards,

Because pipes can be in multiple spaces at once there is no Space property for them.
To get the desired space you will have to specify a point on the pipe and then use that point to figure out which space the pipe is in.
You can get the space of a point with the following node from the MEPover package:
I made a little post about this a while back:

Thats a very interesting and clever solution. Well done and thanks!
One point before i close this - you use a node called Element.GetLocation which must have been superseeded.
Is equivalent to element get geometry i.e. get the geometry of my model into Dynamo ?
Thanks

@T_Pover Any ideas why it doesnt read the coordinates?
Error: 
You are inputting solids instead of points. The Element.GetLocation node has been a standard node for a while now. Are you using an older version of Dynamo?
You can also you Clockwork’s Location node as alternative.
Ofcourse! Been a while since i used it.
Thank you T_Pover!
I dont have any phase on my elements. is that an issue?
I cant satisfy your Phase Input
Not having a phase on your element is near impossible. The phase input is to select the phase the Spaces are created in. Just select a space in your model and look at the “Phase Created” parameter, that’s the phase you need to select.
I know I am being greedy but what about the nulls?
get surrounding elements? or there is probably no space?
@T_Pover I see in your definition you got some nulls as well…
Is that a node limitation or model issue? - space is not assigned etc?
Its the low level/ high level.
I see now and find it even smarter! thx
