An example would be Duct Accessories Family Category does not have the parameter for Room Calculation Point so we can schedule the Room / Space in a schedule.
I can change to Generic Models and get the point but then all my graphics are not an issue.
Adding Room Calculation Points to Pipe Accessories and Duct Accessories is a must. These items 'normally' sit just outside the space so the room calculation point is needed to schedule these by associated space
Totally agree, duct & pipe accessories form part of our COBie deliverables and require calculation points adding.
Currently the calculation points are positioned inside the family. It would also be beneficial if this could be override on a particular instance of a family.
We have instances where components are located in the void space so the calculation point needs to be lowered and also instances where the same family is floor mounted and the calculation point needs to be central to the family or lifted. In most cases the default value is acceptable but the ability to override this on one instance of the family would be helpful.
Duplicating the family would result in duplicate types and ideally we don't want to duplicate the family naming it by its placement.
Totally agree, room calculation points are a must for important pipe and duct accessories. How can we schedule these items and the spaces they relate to without? How has this not been resolved in 5 years?
If anyone is working in large facilities (Airports, Hospitals) where preventative maintenance (PM) is critical, they'd now owners are starting to require certain equipment (anything that has a motor, pump, valve) need a location, typically the room number. Fire Smoke Dampers for instances is a Duct Accessories, and these have a routine PM. Valves are critical to healthcare facilities because stopping a leak ASAP would minimize mold, something infection control takes seriously. If the leak happens to be near an operating room, well those are the main revenue source for a hospital, not to mention the risk factor.
Autodesk, you own the market, now make your project better. Oh and while your at it, "and/or" in everything that can be filtered. You gave us in views how about schedules?
@gsilva - that could possibly be done using Dynamo to count the number of connected pipes to a pipe fitting and then set that value to the fitting as a parameter ("number of welded joints"). TheDynamoforum would be your best place to ask/research further but I'm fairly sure this can be done. Only constraint will whether your computer could handle the geometry processing in Dynamo!
Fire dampers are placed in a wall, between rooms, and they cannot read a room from any side of the wall. But it is necessary for schedules and to understand which fire zone it relates to. A Room Calculation Point is a 'must have' feature for Accessories.
