First of all thank you very much, as per your reply it's working good.

But I didn't find Pipe and Reducer in my spec editor.

And my Elbow is coming like Placeholder in real I have many Elbow as you can see in attachment. 

How I can get it ?

 

Thanks and Regards,

The components in blue color was probably created using python script. You need to create your own custom script and load to Plant 3D in order for you use.

 

You can find some paid app at https://apps.autodesk.com/PLNT3D/en/Home/Index

Sure, the blue colored component is created by python script but my question about which component already available in my content folder as I attached snap in previous post.

@h_eger - In your reply - where do the parts CDBTEE, CSQKZ, CDBBEND and CDBCROSS come from? I'm assuming that the blue ones come from the Python Cable Tray app - is that right?

@gerrardhickson ,

 

Yes, this was from a paid app.

Except CSQKZ which comes from varmain/squareconduitssub/elbow

Hello, very useful information, thanks, but I have a problem with the pipes. I used CSQKZ for the ducts. I set up all the dimensions and added the required dimensions to my specification, but when using it, the ducts are still modeled as round. Maybe you know what is the reason? What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks

I followed it for a Tray tee and it worked fine but when I add a straight section as pipe using the CSQKZ code it looks like tray in the catalog but when I try and use it in Plant 3D it draws a round pipe. Is there a different procedure for the straight sections?
