Spot slopes of pipes

[ksalax]

Hi!
Do you know if it’s possible to create spot slopes of pipes using Dynamo? I didn’t see any solution for that.
I’m attaching the photo to visualise what I mean.

Yes.

Spot elevations and elements

By altering the code a little bit, you can get a list of reference elements per Spot Dimension you input. Might become handy if you have Spot Dimensions that references more than one element, like a linear dimension :-): [image] Python: import clr #Import the Revit API clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') import Autodesk from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * #Import DocumentManager and TransactionManager clr.AddReference('RevitServices') import RevitServices from RevitServices.Persistence import Documen…

I tried this script but it seems like with pipes it doesn’t work…

[pyXam]

Hmm sorry i thought you might like a python challenge

Anyway… there are so many people who have shown this previously that you can google it pretty easily.

Haha maybe I would like it if I more understand Python and Revit API

Maybe I’m writing wrong things in google and I don’t see it, because what I found is:

Spot slope in Dynamo

I don’t think creation of spot slopes are open in the API, thus not possible to create such element through Dynamo. [Screenshot_20171125-094400]

But this is from 2017, so I thought that maybe something changed.

This what i got when i googled it

I seen all those videos, but it’s not what I meant.
I don’t want to create a tag of Bottom of Pipe or create sloped pipes by Dynamo.
I want to create only spot slopes (so e.g. this 1.00% with arrow on the drawing).
In Revit it is creatied by Annotate → Spot Slope, so my question is if by Dynamo there is a possibility to create it?
Or maybe I need to work around it e.g. creating a tag with slope and adding a loadable family of arrow to it? (but then I will need to think how to make arrow witch will show correct direction of slope)

Ooooooooooo yea mybad sorry.
I have done this in the past a long time, but i also used a video reference.

Let me find it for you

[pyXam]

Hmm sorry,

looks like i was mistaken, the workaround i used was to get the information from a pipe and store it in a custom family (smaller than the pipe, but inside the pipe) place that family inside the pipe segment and then tag that family with the value of the slope of the pipe.

This is NOT a good solution, its going to bulk up your model a lot and i stopped using it a long time ago and TBH i forgot about it.

So i cannot help you here sorry, Maybe someone else has since looked at this in greater detail and has a more freindly solution for you.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Oh okay, anyway thanks for trying help!
