Possible to convert pipe back to pipe placeholder?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to booth Revit and it's API.

I wonder if it would be possible to convert a pipe, with it's fittings, back to a pipe placeholder.

Thankful for any help and suggestions.

Regards

Mikael

Dear Mikael,

Creating a pipe placeholder is very simple.

All you need, basically, is the start and end point.

Here is some sample code:

Since the start and end points are immediately provided by the pipe start and end point, handling the pipes is pretty trivial.

You might loose your fitting information, though.

You might be able to store that somewhere and implement code to recreate them again when desired.

Cheers,

Jeremy
