Intersect with MassElement - Pipes.

[MikeEvansUK]

Ok so I know the technical answer is to use Navisworks Manage but I'm not switching apps to design pipework and I have not got £7K so I need annother solution.

I am trying to use the pipe.intersectwith function to interact with a MassElement (converted from a Sat file from RevitStructure)

I have pipcked the network and mass element, iterated through the network to each pipe and then run intersectwith. Initially I used the Com version VarPts = Opipe.intersectwith(entity,extend.none) but this seems not to like the mass element. I also tried the Net version but I cant find out how this is applied and what I would return (I need a coordinate XYZ)

I tried importing and defining the AecMassElement and got an error due to referances.

Still not sure what the best way to go about this is. All I would like to do it to scan through the network and test each pipe and structure for an intersection with the MassElement object and report and insert a block where the intersection is.

I have a simmilar function working for a line Vs. Surface whereby it reports the position of an intersection so I know that for the most part the code is correct apart from the interaction between these objects.

Any ideas of pointers would be greatfully accepted.

Regards

Mike
