Create new pipe insulation type

Hello

Is there a way to add a new PipeInsulationType with the API?

I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

You could try to duplicate it, every ElementType has a Duplicate method.

I don't know where this PipeInsulationType is used in Revit but if you are able to create/duplicate using Revit, probably gonna work.

[Transaction(TransactionMode.Manual)] public class CommandPipe : IExternalCommand { public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elementSet) { UIApplication uiapp = commandData.Application; Document document = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument.Document; var pipeInsulationTypes = new FilteredElementCollector(document) .WhereElementIsElementType() .OfClass(typeof(PipeInsulationType)) .OfType<PipeInsulationType>(); var pipeInsulationType = pipeInsulationTypes.First(); using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(document)) { transaction.Start("Duplicate"); pipeInsulationType.Duplicate(pipeInsulationType.Name + "1"); transaction.Commit(); } return Result.Succeeded; } }

This works!
