Hi @chuongmep and @T_Pover

I have tried both MEPover and OpenMEP and think that i did everything correct.  
No matter what i have tried i could not get the diameter ( or width/height for duct ) implementing in the script.  
All the other things ( location, pipe type, system type ) is correct.

But both scripts creating pipes/ducts with a default size, not the size i made as input, and returns “null” instead of pipe or ducts.  
I tried different type of numerical inputs as diameter.

Can you help me to understand what is wrong?

pipe size units are in “mm”, I tried the sizes from the routing preferences, Also tried different numbers like “0.04, 04, 40, 400” did not matter…

Could it be something related to the decimal seperator,  
Which makes python to not get correct?

As i am a new user here, it does not let me upload the revit file as attachment.  
But if it helps I just started a new project with Revit 2023 Metric Systems template, and try to use these scripts to decide the modeling technique.

Also tried to select a pipe from the model get its diameter and make as input for diameter and still got the warning and null out with pipe modeled in a default diameter.

Hello, I’m trying to install the [OpenMEP](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/openmep-package-feedback-thread/) package, but I download and install the package, but it doesn’t appear in dynamo. Do you know what I can do?

Guys, I followed the entire discussion and tried to generate pipes through these 2 nodes, I didn’t try through [OpenMEP](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/openmep-package-feedback-thread/) because I’m having problems with its installation. But even after following the entire discussion, both nodes have the same problem, does anyone know how I can solve it?

if you use mepover nodes be sure you have dynamoironpython package installed as well …if in 23-24 use 2.7 ver. 2.5
