How to retrieve duct/pipe system material in Rhino.Inside.Revit?

Rhino.Inside Revit

Hello everyone,

I’m working with Rhino.Inside.Revit’s component workflow to extract information from MEP elements. I can successfully access the system type and system color (LineColor), but I haven’t found a way to directly obtain the system material for ducts or pipes.

Is there an official method in the component workflow to retrieve the system material of duct or pipe elements?

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

@BIM5200 Have you extracted the the type and checked the value of the of the material parameter?

Thank u for your suggestion, I’ve successfully retrieved the material now. It worked by checking the material parameter of the type — very helpful!

By the way, in the Rhino.Inside.Revit component workflow, how can I retrieve the Graphic Overrides parameter of a duct/pipe system?

Thank u for your reply! I’ve already solved this issue with Python earlier, to control the line color, line width and line pattern.

That’s awesome!
When I first started this thread, this functionality didn’t exist yet, so it’s amazing to see it become an official component.
Huge thanks to the Rhino.Inside.Revit team for continuously improving the platform. The MEP toolset keeps getting better and more powerful.
Looking forward to seeing more MEP-related components and updates in future releases.

@BIM5200 This is not the part of the official Build. Its created inside the Rhino.Inside.Revit Community. By the way we have also added other MEP Related Components:)

That’s even more impressive! I honestly thought this was part of the official build.
