System name is changing after new pipe is created.

Anonymous — Wed, 27 May 2015 05:03:14 GMT

Hi,

I am reading the parameters from the existing pipe and creating new pipe in the same location with same parameters values red by the existing pipe.

Suppose if System Classification is Hydronic Supply, same is appearing in the System Type too i.e, Hydronic Supply.

But in System Name Hydronic Supply 9 is coming for newly created pipes, but for already existing pipe system name was Hydronic Supply 7.

How to match this parameter with existing pipe using Revit API.

Hi,

I am able to read the System name from the Biult in parameter RBS_SYSTEM_NAME_PARAM..

But i can't set this parameter name to the newly created pipe,

i am trying with the below code.

 /// pipe system name
m_sys_name = pipe_list[k].get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.RBS_SYSTEM_NAME_PARAM).AsString();            pp.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.RBS_SYSTEM_NAME_PARAM).Set(m_sys_name);

Can anyone suggest me how to set this parameter for new pipe..

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you very much for the reply..

I gone through the link. Its heplful..

But it does not help me to solve my issue.

I am trying to set the RBS_SYSTEM_NAME_PARAM to the pipes..

I have some set of pipes, which is having predefined system names. The same system name i have to use to create the new set of pipes..

How to achieve it?
