Hi everyone.

Not sure if any one knows of this little work around, for showing flexible ducting in plan better / simpler.

 

our normal flex duct view in plan would either be default pattern as a single line or if you had manually selected your flex ducts and then changed the flex pattern to maybe flex or oval, as most may realise the pattern might show nicely but this is all dependant on the view scale and the size of the duct.

I came around this that may help others that are not a huge fan of the current flex duct patterns, but who would still like to use the native Revit flex duct, for example if you had created a duct fitting to resemble a flex duct, and in small project this would be fine, but in larger projects where there maybe allot of systems using flexible ducts to diffusers from main runs these parts end up adding to file size in a large way at the end of the day.

So the solution to some head aches maybe just using the plan views visual graphics, on the model categories tab- Flex Ducts drop down deselect centre line and pattern and OK

now your once not so good looking flex duct pattern will look the same as the flex ducts shown in 3d and section views, note that if your bend is to sharp you will how ever have to select the flex duct and right click and insert a  vertex and then manipulate it till your duct shows up better , or just fix ducting lengths if possible.

 

hope this will help some in the meanwhile, till there is a better solutions to our problems.
