Download Content of low pressure duct and fittings?
« on: May 31, 2018, 19:23:03 PM »
Hello all, we're using Fab Parts for Revit 2018.3 and we've been using the stock items. I went into AutoCAD Fabrication to search the Download Content tools for LP duct and fittings but I am coming up empty handed.

All I see for round is spiral pipe, gored fittings and medium pressure takeoffs. Looking to get things like adjustable elbows, snaplock pipe, dovetail/spin-in taps that is common with LP duct. Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance!

Unless you have something like the Fab Value Pack from Applied Software, you have to create your own duct and fittings using Fabrication CADmep.

If you have CAM, you can use MAKEPAT ALL.

Bring up the control console (Ctrl+Shift+C)
Then type "makepat all" in the command line.

Thanks all.

I do not have CAMduct, just Fabrication MEP, so I cannot bring up a console window. I am familiar with MAKEPAT and will go that route if it's the only way. Thanks for the help.

One subsequent question would be how to bring up the list of CID's for the MAKEPAT commands so I can browse through which item is the one I need to use? That would be helpful for now if there's a way.

Thanks again. -TZ

There is a link on the home page of this site.  Lower right hand.

That gives you a list.  There is a graphical pdf file with them too somewhere.  I don't have access to mine or I would share.

Thanks cadbyken, that is helpful. Although, when I Ctrl+F to Search the browser, I'm only coming up with two taps, and the Round tap is not a straight tap so I'm still currently stuck. I'm sure it's there, just the lack of Descriptions for each CID is all.

If you do wind up finding the PDF and it has the full descriptions that would be most helpful, thanks again!

If I can get to my home computer this weekend and remember, I may be able to give you some fittings.  That computer is having issues so it isn't the easiest thing to get going anymore.

Here are the Duct fitting made per the MAKEPAT ALL

I used Zip7 to compress and split because of the 3000kb limit to posts here. You will need to move the files/folder to your Item's Folder and than Path Fabrication to the Master Folder
