How to split a cable tray with Revit api?

Sino.Pacific — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 09:07:20 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am trying to split the Cable trays using Revit API but did not find any API for the Cable trays.

Ducts and Pipes have the PlumbingUtils.BreakCurve and MechanicalUtils.BreakCurve class, but I don't know if there is any class for the Cable Trays.

If anyone have experience with this issue, please help me.

Thank you so much 🙂

Best Regards,

Sino

I've had to get creative and create a family using a Generic Model-Line Based family. Then I would split the family using the FamilyInstance.Split(Double param).

@ryansC5XHQ ,

Thank you for your comments but unfortunately, this is not I intend to do. Cause I need to use the system cable tray family.

Unfortunately BreakCurve method is not available for CableTray.

To achieve similar result:-

Break the LocationCurve line from the initial CableTray programmatically according to your requirement then you can first copy the CableTray and then change their Locationcurve accordingly from those new lines.

see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/trouble-of-my-own-implementation-of-breakcurve-on-conduit/m-p/11116205/highlight/true#M62922 - it's exactly such method but for conduits, should also work for cable trays.
