Retrieve MEP Fabrication Pipework Centerline

Revit
1

I would like to retrieve curves from MEP Fabrication Pipework centerlines and use it to create detail lines in floor plans and sections. Is it possible to retrieve these curves using OOTB nodes? Or is it only possible with Revit API?

Have you tried Element.Geometry?

Thanks for the quick reply @Marcel_Rijsmus!

Yes, I was able to accomplish the detail lines creation when dealing with Pipes and Pipe Fittings solids. When using the Element.Geometry node on Fabrication, however, I wasn’t able to retrieve the centerline curves from the meshes.

Hi @F.Gustavo ,

use Location node

Thanks, @c.poupin!

That works perfectly for the pipes, but do you have a solution for the elbows, tees, and other fittings within the fabrication database?

There is an example here for fittings (by analyzing connectors)

for Tee it’s a little more difficult
