I am writing this post because I have faught the last couple of hours trying to accomplish exactly what I want. I needed to put an air terminal directly on a duct(no tap please) and had difficulty doing so but I finally got the results I was looking for. I think the feature is new to Revit 2014 so take that with a grain of salt but if you go to place an air terminal you get a new option in your contextual tab called "air terminal on duct" this was great except for the fact that to my knowledge I think you can only place terminals in this mode in plan view. Normally this would be okay except I wanted the terminal to come off at a 45 off the side of a 20" diameter duct. So what I had to do was place the terminal with "air terminal on duct activated" then create a section and draw two refence lines, i used detail lines, to find the exact center of the circular duct then i made my axis of rotation the point at which those lines met and rotated the terminal at 45 degrees. This may not be news to many but I struggled with it at first and relized there werent any forum entries.
to us in middle east, it is VERY VERY rare to use round duct, for that i have to use the normal duct "TAP" and then after that i use the unhosted grill not diffuser, than from the back of the grill i drew a duct (also tap) then connect it to the main duct.
after that for sure that grill and tap connection would be VERY long, so i adjust the length of the new duct to make it enough for the decoration of the bulkhead
Go File(or big Revit R button)>New>Famliy. Then choose "generic model". Once in the family editor make sure you change the family category to "Air Terminals". Model your grille and add your duct connector.
The issue I have with this Revit 2014 feature and haven't got my head around it yet is PLACING TWO DIFFUSERS SIDE BY SIDE ON A FACE OF A RECTANGULAR DUCT....
What I found out is Revit put the diffuser on the centerline of the duct and doesn't allow me to achieve what I want...any thoughts on this?
