Collect Revit Piping Systems & copy them.....Possible

[s.murphy9485]

Hi,

I wish to select a single “Piping System” copy it a multiple times and then set Type Properties. Is this possible? I am stuck at step 1 “Query Elements” is empty with both a Piping Systems Type or Category Filter rule.

I dont see any issue. if you have MEP Pipes in your Model you will be able to extract them.
Use clone Element to copy and place them at specific location

Ah no, not a physical piping systems. I mean these. I wish to select one, copy it a few times, rename them and set different Type Properties. I guess the Revit API would be a problem. But though I would ask here first.

You can use Duplicate Type. If you want to query use Query Types Component

Thanks. But anyway to set Type Properties? I can’t see anything on RevitAPIDocs.com - So I don’t think I can do the second step of my process.

You can change the properties using the API.

LineColor Property

here i ran the quick code which changes the color to red

Would that same script work as a Python node in RiR?

yes this is pure python script
