Inserting a Sleeve
« on: Nov 15, 2017, 07:04:46 AM »
Have sleeves Rectangular and round that the user can select a duct and have a sleeve placed that is the correct length based on wall/slab thickness.  Also have the sleeve oversize itself based on insulation thickness/flanges/user preference and then go into a routine to automatically add dimensions with Trimble points contained within the sleeves.

Look into scripting.  I have created several routines to do this.

The one that I currently have is now owned by the company but I have my original on my personal computer. Unfortunately, I will not have access to that until the 2nd week of Dec.

Not in Revit

Oops, someone wasn't paying attention.

One of the guys got sleeves to work using Dynamo.  I haven't seen it yet though but I heard it is pretty quick.

Hi there. Any chance you've learned any more about this in Dynamo. Making the switch to Fab Parts and this would be huge for us. Thanks

I'm still trying to figure out to even place a round sleeve! CID#1049 does not seem to want to place in with Revit.
