Create Duct fitting schedule/takeoffs

[brianwclayton1969]

Good afternoon, I'm trying to create a duct fitting schedule or take-off for HVAC duct fittings. The schedule it crates now shows the fitting size at both ends. I need to be able to show the "TAP" coming off a rectangular duct or a duct with the connection sizes on both ends. Example 6" tap coming off a 10" duct. I'm putting this information in my comments section of the Duct Fitting Schedule.

Anyone have a solution or ideas?

Add a shared parameter to the taps and fill in the relevant sizes.

If you have many of them it might be possible to use dynamo to automatically fill these values

I have many different sizes that were created specific for a company. How would I go about adding parameters the simplest way possible?

I would prefer NOT to use Dynamo, the company, not everyone involved in this project knows Dynamo. 

Thanks

-Use a shared parameter
-In the family make a formula for the shared parameter. If you are doing standard sizes do a long if-then formula. If(angle<15, “stuff to appear for small angle fitting”, if(angle=15, “stuff to appear for 15 angle bend”.....you get the flow.
-This will make a column on a schedule automatically that you can use for scheduling or anything else
-Try and avoid uhaving user-input text. This gives room for error and changes to forget something. Use the formulas to do your work for you

I need to create a column in Duct Fitting Schedule or create a shared parameter where a "TAP" comes off a main I can reference the size the tap is coming off at one end and what the size is the tap is connecting to the other end.

For example; I've used a "Round Take-off Conica 8"dia." it connects to a 12"x14" rectangular duct and then continues with a 8"dia duct branch from there.

I want to be able to show on a schedule that one end connects to 12"x14" and the other is 8", the schedule just shows what size the "Round Take-off Conica" is" 

I need this information for my field guys to know where it goes, right now I'm putting that information in the comments box. too much unnecessary typing.
