Hi all, I read a post that tried to cover what I’m asking but it didn’t really help, and i’m not sure how to get the nodes to work correctly that exist, if they do work…! Basically me and a colleague have been working on a script to size cable trays automatically, and it works a treat, however th…

See what’s here maybe: https://autodeskuniversity.smarteventscloud.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=124118

I did not try anything like that yet but I wonder if this discussion could not be of interest here: http://dynamobim.com/forums/topic/shortest-walk/ See also: [image] Detail component from curve Revit Good morning, finally I’m able to draw cables inside cable trays, acco…

Close. It still requires me to automatically input the route (which is just as quick doing in Revit) I forgot in Revit there is a way to actually get the most appropriate route by selecting one cable tray I.E the one I found nearest the distribution board, and then hover of the one you want the sho…

So this is where I got, I went through 3 different scripts with each different methods and feel like this is the closest? Converted the cable trays into lines and split them into lots of points, I’ve then created a line of best fit which could be used as a directional item? Could I force this line o…

I’ll bump this one last time in the hopes someone else may have a look and see something i’m missing. Thanks

@Vykr Any chance you are willing to share your final graph? I am attempting to do something very similar.

Sure, find below: DynaTools.ShortestPath.dyf (14.2 KB) 01_ShortestPath.dyn (47.3 KB)

Hi Vykr! I have some question about your graph, as Im trying to do some of the same things. First of all, nice job! :slight_smile: In my project, I have eletrical sockets placed all over. I then want to find the length from that socket and to the eletrical panel. This is of course not so hard, but…

@Erik_Hegg I was able to take Vykr’s graph and change it to work by the shortest route through cable tray and conduit (or a combination of the two) and spit out the overall length as well as the path the cable took (each segment tray/conduit). I have had to make it pretty custom to work with our c…

I would love to see how you solved this. I found a node that calculate the shortest path, and then I took the curve lenght of the cable trays and added them up to get the overall length. However, the problem is when the cable trays are not connected 100% to each other (but hare very very close to). …
