Recently, I once again tried to upgrade my company duct fittings library. And again, I hit the wall, working with tee and cross types. It is impossible to create a dynamic reduction tee family with automatically added transitions.
Introducing a 'get' and 'set' connector dimension parameters will solve this problem and simplify a lot of workflows.
Example:
We have a rectangular duct tee that connects three ducts of different height. We want to get a tee that is equal to the highest connected duct. The two other ducts should be automatically connected by transition fitting. Using a 'get' read-only parameter, we read the height of each duct. Next, we can compare the sizes and return the maximum height. Finally forward this value to each connector 'set' parameter. And voila, we get the one tee to rule them all.
If no modification is needed, simply match 'get' with 'set' parameter.
