Plumbing Connected Schedule

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Is there a way to create a schedule that will look at plumbing fixtures and verify that there is a piece of pipe attached to it. My goal is to try to create a schedule that I can look at every time the architect updates so ensure that they have not sneaked any new fixtures on me. 😉

I think I can use the copy/monitor, but I have found it kludgy as far as trying to pinpoint where the new fixture was added. A schedule showing the Room Name, Number, Family, and ( what I think) is a yes/no parameter to verify the fixuture has a piece of pipe attached; in other words,verifying that it is indeed plumbed up.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I realized after I typed this that I don't think it could be done as the plumbing fixture the architect places is a model, but has no connection information. We MEP typically have to add that to make the connections. So going a different direction, if the plumbing connector family could tell whether a pipe is attached. Maybe I'm trying to do the impossible. Or maybe my lack of sleep last night is starting to catch up with me. 😉

Just rambling thoughts...

If your plumbing connector family (we don't use copy/monitor either) has parameters for HW, CW, San/Vent connection sizes, you could schedule those. Then any blank connection size fields would mean the family isn't connected.
