Fabrication Parts Schedule by Room/Space

I need to make a schedule stating all parts in a specific spaces. BOQ for each space separately.   I have a problem with MEP fabrication parts (specially MEP Ducts) .

The schedules/Quantities doesn't show to which space, these ducts belong to.

The schedule states Only how many ducts totally exists in the model.

Currently Revit does not support duct/pipe both native and fabrication to schedule the room/space they are in.  The workaround would be to have a project parameter that allows you to type in the room/space.  This would be time consuming.

If your comfortable with dynamo this would be a fairly easy dynamo script to build with the "Get elements in room" node from the archilab package. You could get the room of all the elements you are trying to schedule and then write that room name to the project parameter mentioned above automatically.

Glade you brought that up.  Dynamo would be a great option but adds a whole new challenge to the mix.  For non programs this can be a great tool.  The support you get from the dynamo community is second to none.   Back in the day i wrote the DynaFabrication packages.  I wish i had time to update them to the newest API and convert from python to zero touch.  Maybe some day!

We use versions of your code every day now. I've built on some of it and even worked in bits of my own at this point to handle some of the problems fab parts have like setting hanger rod inserts into structure instead of just attaching to them, exporting hanger points for point layout machines without needing APL, amongst other stuff.

 

Thanks for the work you've done. I know it has helped us as well as other contractors get Revit off the ground for them.

Older thread, but I'm trying to organize our fabrication content better. I have some experience with Dynamo, but it's been a while. Is the DynaFabrication2017 package still relevant? A package search turns up nothing newer that 2019. Is there a recent Package that someone can recommend? Thanks.

Unfortunately with work and kids in year round sports, I've not been updating the DynaFabrication package.  Its something I want to get back into.  The nodes are written in python so if your interested you could take them and modify/add as needed.
