How can I filter circulation pump?

[vsfatihguzel]

I am writing a list preparation code for Mechanics in Revit Api.This is a bid form.

Fittings, clamps, consoles won't be included in the listening.

Valves, pumps will be a separate group.

As far as I know; There are Mechanical Equipment and Pipe Accessory.

There is also the Part Type parameter.

How can I filter valves and pumps?

Doesn't Revit create a separate category for clamps and consoles?

I'm not quite sure what you intend to accomplish. But if you want to filter out a circulation pump in a schedule (as opposed to other pumps, or other mechanical equipment category items) you need to use a parameter and filter based on that. 

Not sure if you intended to have a weird formatting, but it was hard to read.

Pumps are Mechanical Equipment. Depending on what you want you could filter by Family, Type, Manufacturer, Type Comments, Description etc etc. Or create your own parameter and filter by that. Basically you need some identifier which is unique to pumps in the model. For example the Description could include the word pump and you could filter by Description contains pump.

Valves are Pipe Accessories. Same principle applies.

Or if you want to exclude items (clamps for example) you could use “does not contain”.

I can use omniclass as a solution

Yes that will work as long as all the families have been set up with correct omniclass value.

Or use the BIM Interoperability Tools to apply them first.
