CAMduct™ Users / Re: not cutting all pcs

« Last post by ayoung8901 on Yesterday at 18:30:20 »

I know this is a old 2007 post, but, found an issue today in CAMduct 2023 that might help someone why some parts were not nesting.

Under database -> manufacturing -> oversize options
make sure 'Check for oversize before nesting' is checked. the issue is now resolved.

Yes thats exactly what im saying. Select your itm's within Revit and if you have your CAD reports already part of your database, or within the CADmep MIS folder. You can run the same reports directly out of Revit without having to export your maj files into a fabrication product. Just a shame there's no script function too.

...pulling the reports out of Revit instead. ...

Does that mean you are using the Fabrication reports that we could us in AutoCAD?  One of the users suggested using a formula to make it work.  That is okay for rectangle straights but gets tricky on fittings.

I couldnt get the area to work correctly using the schedules either and ended up pulling the reports out of Revit instead. This was a quick fox for me, I still need to jump in there again as i need the format to be read in excel not pdf.

Fabrication Parts in Revit® / Liner area in Revit Schedule

« Last post by cadbyken on Sep 26, 2023, 21:49:44 PM »

Playing with the schedules but I cannot find the option to get the liner to report the correct area.  It appears to be using the "Per Item Qty" not the "total Item (Extn)" value.  We had control over this in AutoCAD but I don't see where the option is in Revit.

What bobcat06 said. But also you have to ensure the pallet is wide enough.

CADmep™ Wish List / Re: Flat Oval Stiffener Shown on drawing

« Last post by Jona on Sep 26, 2023, 14:54:31 PM »

14 years later...still nothing.

On that note, has anyone found a CID that can be used to represent an oval angle? I'm currently using 503 for rectangular, and 217 for manually placing stiffeners.

Fabrication Parts in Revit® / Re: CID for Square tap on Oval duct

385 and 842 are promising.
The problem is that I can't get them to connect "fix relative" when having the "pipe parts" option set to "No Part".
I want to install them on a spiral/oval pipe. I think I'll have to settle for a "Pipe Part".
It would work that way.
I can't find 1204.

Just type in "makepat 1204" instead of trying to find a pre-made item which you can manipulate.
Again, I haven't tested these but they seem to at least visually be what you are looking for.
