How to change multiple circuit path offset?

[ensomoran]

Hi,

I have a project where the circuit offset by default was set to 20' which is way overkill.  I would like to set the value to 10' or 5' for all circuits.  Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to write a Dynamo script?

Electrical circuit?

Pipe circuit?

PLease clarify.

Electrical Circuits, sorry for not being specific

I'm not aware of circuits having an offset value, they are not physical objects in the model they're theoretical?

Can you provide a screenshot of what you mean?

Sorry I can't help with this one, maybe someone else knows.

@ensomoran, the Path Offset value indicated in your screenshot is controlled through the Electrical Settings of the model. In the Electrical Settings dialog, select the General category, then the "Circuit Path Offset" value is what you would want to modify. I've attached a screenshot for reference.

Hello,

So far, there is no easy fix.

For new circuits, set the circuit offset in MEP settings before creating the circuits; if you have different heights, create them in batches according to their height, and adjust the height before creating circuits with the new height.

Maybe you can adjust the heights using Dynamo, but I am not sure if it is possible.
