Dear colleagues! The MEP side needs a LOT of attention in dynamo! MEP is not only about spaces and parameters and Revit is not only about form-finding! Dynamo needs access to connectors! Dynamo needs access to manipulating pipes (ducts) directly – creating, connecting, disconnecting, creating fitt…

Looks like, after all it didn’t take months of research and some impossible Python gymnastics. :slight_smile: Like I said originally, all it takes is some effort, and asking right questions. The more you try and fail, the more you learn and sooner or later you will be the go to Dynamo + MEP guy.

Thanks Konrad, Thats exactly how it is, although I already asked this question once and it was ignored, so I had to make a more attention grabbing post to actually get someones attention. Thanks again!

Hi Michail and Konrad, First of all, thanks a lot for this post. I really believe this is what Revit MEP will be able to do in a short period of time, automatization of routing and connection of ducts, pipes, electrical conduits etc. This is really exciting to me and that’s why I started to learn m…

Hi Alejandro, I think we are on the same idea I try to collocate a fitting in duct end with coordinates that I know, but I don’t undestand how does it work dynamo with duct/pipe fittings. Dynamo collocate the fitting in the point, but the elements don’t connect. The connectors don´t work. [duct …

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find a method to connect ducts as I explained before in my post here. However I haven’t succeeded yet. So far, I’m still stuck in getting the connectors from the ConnectorSets but Michail seems to have succeeded :slight_smile: This is the error that I got with my p…

Hi guys, I’m trying to connect 2 connectors located in the same position by using the “Connector.ConnectTo Method” from revit API. ( http://revitapisearch.com/html/04ee99c9-f411-aabe-7b87-013a6f9adb1d.htm ) So far my python script looks like this below, however is not working in “line 33” Probably …

This is interesting… I think being able to create connected, working systems with dynamo will open up a lot o possibilities. Theres lots of other potentially useful methods in the API like make T/Elbow and all the placeholder stuff. Looks like the connectors dont even need to be on the same point, j…

Hi @Alejandro_Mata , I’ve seen your presentation at AU2016 and follow this thread for a while. Have you managed to do the task? I’ve been trying around the same idea of just “triming” the pipes between each other but with no results. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@Alejandro_Mata hey, try this one: IN[0].ConnectTo(IN[1])

Dear Michail, I’m looking for a python script and a dynamo script that can collect connectors from some pipe fittings, after that i want to find out which are disconnected and reconnect them. Your script looks like it can help me but i’m missing sometihng of your script in these views above. Pleas…

Good afternoon! could you make a node that creates consecutive lists of elements from each air terminal to the fan.
