Finding the orientation of welded outlets of a pipe?

[Anonymous]

Hi

The pipe is having many grooved/welded branches/outlets as shown below.

I have determine the orientation of the grooved/welded branches/outlets whether it's pointing to down/UP, Top/Bottom, using Revit API.

Please can anyone suggest me how to achieve this?

Dear Anusha.mp,

Each of the branches or outlets is connected to the duct.

Navigate to the corresponding Connection object, e.g. via the FamilyElement > MEPSystem > ConnectionManager properties.

From that, you can determine the connection orientation:
