Custom pyRevit bar in a campus context

Tools Showcase
1

I’m glad to share you my first professional pyRevit bar I deployed for a scientific campus. I was working for an integrated design office into this organisation.

I hope this is not the last and I will have the opportunity of using more and more pyRevit in my futur career !

If you have some questions or remarks don’t hesitate.

Although the commands are mainly specific for my company workflow, I can share you some code about the Tee / Tap configuration wich can be useful for many drafters.

The way to use it is to push on the desired Tee / Tap button before creating your pipe or duct connection, independently of the pipe / duct type.

Enjoy it !

Pretty cool.
Thanks for sharing.

Do you have any scripting to create elbows?
I am trying to create a tool that create an elbow on the disconnected end of a conduit / pipe.

There is a lot of script on github so maybe you can find something like this.
What is your goal of creating an elbow than the native Revit function don’t bring you ?
