Resizing piping system elements
Hi everyone.
The problem
I'm currently developing piping system sizing tool using Revit API (C#) but have problems with sizing of fittings. My current approach to piping system sizing is:
Transaction start:
Resize all pipes
Recreate tees: delete old tees and insert new ones using RevitDocument.Create.NewTeeFitting(Connector_1, Connector_2, Connector_T);
Recreate elbows: delete old elbows and insert new ones using RevitDocument.Create.NewElbowFitting(Connector_1, Connector_2);
Transaction commit.As you can see I'm trying to delete old fitting and everything in between with pipe and create a new one. All parameters used in New<Fitting type>Fitting methods are correct (of that I'm sure, I've checked everything many times). The problem is that Revit throws exception Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException without any additional explanation. But when I try to connect pipes manually using Revit UI, everything works fine.
Questions
- Is there reliable way of piping system sizing than does not break (disconnect) system and changes fittings sizes regardless of user's routing preferences?
- Is there any other approach to reliably system sizing if system meets some requirements (for example with using of specified fittings families)?
What i've allready tried
I've allready tried to change fitting's connector size regarding to sizes of connected element's connectors sizes but I had problem that I wrote about in my previous post https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/duct-fittings-connectors-width-and-height-depending-on-position/m-p/8515059#M36097 .
Thank you.

Re: Ceilings Revit looks different in Navisworks.
Unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.
Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.
Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to installation, product usage or end user support issues here.
You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:
The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us programming nerds.
I hope this clarifies.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Re: Insert a (face)Family
First of all, the NewFamilyInstance method provides a number of different overloads:
https://www.revitapidocs.com/2020/0c0d640b-7810-55e4-3c5e-cd295dede87b.htm
You need to select the right one. That is not always trivial:
http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2011/01/newfamilyinstance-overloads.html
All of that seems to be correct in your code.
However, you are casting the geometry object retrieved from the element geometry property directly to a face.
I doubt that will work. There may well be several objects in there. Have you looked in the debugger to ensure that that is the indeed a face at all, and not a null object? If it is a null object, as I suspect, that would explain the error message you see. Even if it is not null, chances are that it is not the face you really want. If you check the reference returned by the pick method, it will also give you precise information about the pick point and geometric subelement. You can use those to identify the picked face when you traverse the entire contents of the element geometry.

Re: Always show the same button on SplitButton
Dear Rikard,
Thank you for your nice query.
Yes. That is in fact very easy to achieve.
I show you how in my HoloLens Escape Path Waypoint JSON Exporter:
https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2016/09/hololens-escape-path-waypoint-json-exporter.html
The add-in displays the following ribbon panel:
You can either click the main button, which is always displayed at the top as the current option, to trigger the main command, or drop down the rest of the stacked button contents to display the option button:
You can grab the entire Visual Studio solution and project from the ExportWaypointsJson GitHub repository:

I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Re: Revit 2020.1 plugin .bundle recognition problem
Thanks Jeremy, Addin at this stage is not intended to be public. I use bundle format only as most suitable way for in house distribution (there is also some Navisworks plugin in the same bundle and also versions compatible with 2018 series of products). So addin is not to be published via app store. Probably sometimes later.

Re: Revit 2020.1 plugin .bundle recognition problem
I found the reason.🙂
Problem were actually in PackageContents.xml:
This doesn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" AutodeskProduct="Revit" AppVersion="0.0.1" Author="####" Name="####" Description="####" ProductCode="1FBE5107-799B-####-801A-45DD55143260" UpgradeCode="5F645CC5-0758-###-BDB1-2934259B0E30"><CompanyDetails Name="######" Email="##########"/><Components Description="R2019/R2020 parts"><RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2019" SeriesMax="R2020"/><ComponentEntry AppName="ExportTraces" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/CTExporterImporter.addin"/><ComponentEntry AppName="TracesManipulator" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/TracesManipulator.addin" /></Components></ApplicationPackage>
But if I change contents to the following, it works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" AutodeskProduct="Revit" AppVersion="0.0.1" Author="#####" Name="####" Description="####" ProductCode="1FBE5107-799B-####-801A-45DD55143260" UpgradeCode="5F645CC5-0758-####-BDB1-2934259B0E30"><CompanyDetails Name="####" Email="####"/><Components Description="R2019 parts"><RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2019" SeriesMax="R2019"/><ComponentEntry AppName="ExportTraces" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/CTExporterImporter.addin"/><ComponentEntry AppName="TracesManipulator" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/TracesManipulator.addin" /></Components><Components Description="R2020 parts"><RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2020" SeriesMax="R2020"/><ComponentEntry AppName="ExportTraces" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/CTExporterImporter.addin"/><ComponentEntry AppName="TracesManipulator" ModuleName="./Contents/2019/R2019/TracesManipulator.addin" /></Components></ApplicationPackage>
As you can see, the only difference is, that in second case RuntimeRequirements explicitly states only one series of products but ComponentEntry entries refer to exactly the same files.
This functionality of SeriesMax attribute is not according to description given here if that description is valid also for Revit and not only for Autocad series of products.

Re: Flip Pipe Fitting
When I used RevitLookup (which is a very helpful too, by the way!), it showed the the HandOrientation of the fitting went from (1,0,0) to (-1,0,0) when I used the UI Control, but the CanFlipHand property is false. Is there a way to work around the read only nature of the HandOrientation property and manipulate it?

Sean, thank you, this sounds like the exact thing I'm after, but that doesn't help the fact that I don't know enough to go about actually implementing it based on your description. Would you mind doing me and the other novices who might read this a favor and elucidate a bit more with (pseudo-)code and where it belongs in order to accomplish what you're describing?

Vertically Compound Wall - Adding Splits and Layers
Hi,
I need to write code to vertically cut the layers of a wall, as shown in the video below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRjB9sylTb4
I found in the API documentation the Autodesk.Revit.DB.CompoundStructure.SplitRegion () method, but I don't quite understand how I can use it.
I looked for code examples on how to use this method, but didn't find it.
Any Suggestions?

Re: Keeping IUpdater Implementations from Triggering One Another
Sorry
1. This is how I disable then enable the updaters from other classes when I want to skip whatever they are doing.
App.DisableUpdaters(App.ControlID.application, "sheets");
//Do what needs to ignore the updater
App.EnableUpdaters(App.ControlID.application, "sheets");
2. Here is what the code in 'App' looks to enable them.
internal static Result EnableUpdaters(UIControlledApplication application, string name)
{
try
{
if (name == "view" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.ViewUpdater viewUpdater = new Updaters.ViewUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(viewUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "grid" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.GridUpdater gridUpdater = new Updaters.GridUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(gridUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "sheets" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.ViewSheetUpdater sheetUpdater = new Updaters.ViewSheetUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(sheetUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "doors" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.DoorRatingUpdater doorRatingUpdater = new Updaters.DoorRatingUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(doorRatingUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "walls" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.WallRatingUpdater wallRatingUpdater = new Updaters.WallRatingUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(wallRatingUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "rooms" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.RoomOccupantUpdater roomUpdater = new Updaters.RoomOccupantUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.EnableUpdater(roomUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
return Result.Succeeded;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return Result.Failed;
}
}
3. Very similar to disable them.
internal static Result DisableUpdaters(UIControlledApplication application, string name)
{
try
{
if (name == "view" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.ViewUpdater viewUpdater = new Updaters.ViewUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(viewUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "grid" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.GridUpdater gridUpdater = new Updaters.GridUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(gridUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "sheets" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.ViewSheetUpdater sheetUpdater = new Updaters.ViewSheetUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(sheetUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "doors" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.DoorRatingUpdater doorRatingUpdater = new Updaters.DoorRatingUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(doorRatingUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "walls" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.WallRatingUpdater wallRatingUpdater = new Updaters.WallRatingUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(wallRatingUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
if (name == "rooms" || name == "all")
{
Updaters.RoomOccupantUpdater roomUpdater = new Updaters.RoomOccupantUpdater(application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.DisableUpdater(roomUpdater.GetUpdaterId());
}
return Result.Succeeded;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return Result.Failed;
