Fabrication Diffuser/Grille to work in Revit
« on: Jan 15, 2020, 19:45:24 PM »
Hello All,
I thought I saw this before, but have not found it yet. Is there a Diffuser/Grille CID that will work in Revit. Currently I am using CID#996 which does not work in Revit. Thanks for the help.
Thanks, Dino

No.

I use a square to round with length = 0 for the diffusers and a straight of 1" long with a 1" flange connector for the grilles and linear diffusers.

It works good enough and it imports into Revit.

I do take them off.
They are on my reports, same as the regular grilles.
With the right service type you can filter anything to go on any report.

Ok, sounds good. I will have to give that a try.

We generally use diffuser/grille families and make a schedule for them.  We have a linear diffuser that works in Revit based on CID#382 which you could use and make other grilles.
