Within Revit, not all Fabrication ITM parameters are reportable. A critical one includes the value of the offset for an offset fitting in ductwork. The parameter exists and is editable in through the Edit Part dialogue, but it cannot be reported in schedules or tags.
Our work around for vertical offsets has been a calculated field comparing the top elevation and bottom elevation of the part to the depth, and returning the difference. This method is prone to error though. For example, if the part has been rotated, the depth is now the width. Additionally, this method cannot work when the offset is a horizontal offset.
We encountered a this issue with reporting leg extensions and radiuses for duct elbows as well. Our fix there was to pay our software engineer to pull the data from the ITM and copy it into a parameter we could report on. This works, but because it's a copy, the value can change and then our information is wrong.
Does anyone have a method or tool which would allow us to report all the ITM parameters in Revit?
(More context: this is typically for sending a BOM to a supplier of bought-out spiral and oval duct. We fabricate the rectangular, so having all the information on a report isn't critical)
