Specify System Type (Hydronic Supply) Pipe Type

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 01:57:09 GMT

Hello

Is it possible to programmatically edit the Mechanical Settings? I would like to specify the Hydronic Supply pipe type (see the screen capture below for a clearer example of the property I would like to set).

I have referred to the Revit Equinox API CHM and searched the online documentation but I haven't found a method or class pertaining to this area. Any ideas how I can set this information?

Dear sam.z,

Equinox does not exist. That is an obsolete confidential code name. I suggest you use the proper product name, so people can understand what you are talking about.

Looking at the standard Revit 2014 API documentation, I can see some sample code for the ConnectorElement.CreatePipeConnector method that creates a hydronic supply pipe connector and references the PipeSystemType.ReturnHydronicn enumeration value.

Is that of any help?

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Actually when I open the Revit API help file from the Revit 2014 release I also see in the caption Revit Equinox API.

Dear vchekalin,

Are you Victor? Welcome to the discussion group!

If you see such a message, you are using an obsolete version of the Revit SDK, with obsolete API documentation from the prerelease version of Revit 2014.

I would strongly suggest that you delete it before continuing to read this message 🙂

You can always download the most up to date version of the Revit SDK including all the API documentation from the Revit developer centre:

Best regards,

Jeremy

Yes, Jeremy, it's me:)

I didn't download SDK separately and just use the SDK what I found in the Utilites folder from Autodesk_Revit_Architecture_2014_English_Win_32-64bit_dlm.exe archive file. I downloaded this file from my ADN download page.

Thanks for the link to download the last SDK

Have a nice day,

Victor.
