Duct fitting question

Hi,

 

How would you draw this? What fittings do you use?duct fitting.png

Depends if you're interested in the Revit systems aspect, but to model that you could use an in-place sweep family to create the top elbow (setting the category to duct fittings and adding a connector to the end) and another in-place family for the straight fitting with a normal transition duct fitting at the end of it.  (See Revit screenshot)Capture.JPG

I start with big purple R --> new -> family and categorize it as a duct fitting (multi-port).  Then I model it.  I never use in-place families.

The file is too big for the Autodesk discussion groups.  I can send you the file via email or ftp.  That said, I agree with Sandleaz, if you can use a regular duct fitting family vs. in-place--do so.  However, if you're only needing the geometry (as is the objective of many MEP design and construction firms) and you aren't using the air flow data then modeling in-place might be quicker for unique circumstaces.  HTH
