Have you tried unchecking the Rod Adjustments area? Or setting adjust rod length to 0"?
I'll attach the family that I made that we use with no issues. Let me know if that works for you.

I've talked with eVolve about this and they said they have it on their roadmap to add the Structural Framing and the Roofs category as well. But nothing yet. I don't see it in the 8.0 update either...
We place those families manually right now.

Hi all,
I'm very new to scripting, so I may be missing something obvious here - but I can't get functions to work where I've used "DIM" to assign a variable.
I have a test job where I am messing around with elbow throats - just trying to get comfortable with calling data and making changes, etc.
The elbows in my job all have a top extension of 6" and a bottom of 8"
The script as listed should change the bottom extension to 2". Running debug, everything looks like it should work, but upon running the script with no errors present, the values are not updated. I've inserted item.update() in various places with no success.
If I run the same script without defining variables and use item.dim#.value, everything works fine. It seems like there's a breakdown somewhere after "end function", but I can't figure it out. I've created many other practice scripts where assigning variables are not working for me, but long form always does.
I am hoping some of you would please point out where I am going astray!
I know that I don't necessarily need to make a function to accomplish this. I have written it long form and have accomplished the changes in just a few lines. I'm just playing around with different things, trying to get comfortable with writing scripts. I have relatively no experience with scripting or coding.
function ThroatSize()
dim top=item.dim[4].value
dim bottom=item.dim[5].value
debug top + " / " + bottom ---------> THIS REPORTS THE CORRECT INITIAL VALUE OF "6/8"
if top <=6 then
bottom = 2
endif
debug top + " / " + bottom ----------> THIS REPORTS THE CORRECT CHANGED VALUE OF "6/2"
end function
select item.cid
case 3
ThroatSize()
end select --------> DIMENSION 5, BOTTOM EXTENSION REMAINS UNCHANGED AT 8"

Yes, I was modifying the reference plane to see if that helped but no. The program doesn't do anything, I don't know if I need to do some setup on the family's parameters.
Thanks!

I assume you have eVolve, since you're posting this in the eVolve Mechanical Users forum, so the parameter you are looking for is "eM_Length A".
If you're looking for both rods on a trapeze, its "eM_Length A" and "eM_Length B".
If you don't have evolve, then like David said, you'll need some add-in that maps the parameters from the database or you'll need to use dynamo.

Are you selecting a reference plane to extend to? If you don't want adjustment to rod length, I would uncheck the Rod Adjustments box, and only have the Place Embeds box checked along with the options.
Is Evolve throwing an error? Or does it just not do anything?
Also, you can set the file path to be anywhere, it doesn't have to be pathed to the evolve families folder. We have ours pathed to our own company library.

Hello community!
I'm trying to place beam clamps on the hangers that I've modeled with ITM Hangers option but is not working. I placed the families needed into the corresponding eVolve folder and also tried using ITM Rod Adjustment without success. Do you guys have any clue to solve this? I
btw: the clamps are Pipe Accesories families, could this affect the placement?
thanks!
Ignacio

That seems odd.
Please feel free to email any questionable datasets across to us so we can investigate.

Hi Santos
This is a great question, This might be the key to this working for you.
Had me completely stumped.
I do not have that checked and it works sometimes? I do have issues with certain breakpoint tables that don't pull, but I haven't had the time to do a deep dig yet.

Our database guy told me that he cannot exclude the tabs and that I have to do it on my end and it only lasts as long as you have the project open that day. Can you give me any help on how you exclude tabs in the database?
He can exclude tabs from fill by default in AutoCAD and have that transfer over to Revit, just like individual buttons. You don't do it in the template anymore. Just pick the service, go to the palette (don't go to any settings) and right click on the tab, click exclude tab from fill. You'll see a little [E] pop up at the end of the name of the tab. This will transfer over to Revit by default.
