I have tried to export from Elite to Revit but is had been failed the extensions didn't work with any product of Autodesk, I hope it will work in the future, it's a very good idea for AKN, to facilitate modeling process even with HAVC ducts with HAP.

but elite and hap are not for sizing I need that for sprinkler pipes because it flows a certain rule in sizing but I do not know how Revit can understand this rule of sizing...

Ok May i have conflict with this, sorry it is not my department but i tried this to facilitate work with MEP team,

but let see if we can brain storm for this, do you think is there a ways to assign a rule in space or some thing to understand where to reduce pipe or to change routing to avoid a conflict with elements?? in my opinion any repetitive task have the same pattern can automate in revit by coding, but the complex tasks the may need to thinking can achieve also but with machine learning but the cons of this way it need to build a reference for you to achieve your goal, what do you think about this?

Then let me know what are the inputs you have to facilitate this workflow regardless automate it by coding or ML?

the pipe size is scheduled in NFPA code for firefighting as in the below image

if you could automate the sizing of pipes according to this rule.
