AutoCAD Architecture :: Programmatically Add Geometry To Duct Fitting?
Jan 30, 2013
I am trying to add geometry programatically to a duct fitting. This is because the content builder is incapable of correctly building some types of fittings. I found some old code from an Autodesk University class that shows how to add geometry to a AEC object. I have modified it a little to be able to work with a duct fitting but it does not work. The code compiles fine and runs fine without any errors. The geometry is just not added.
[CommandMethod("ACAClassCode", "ExModelerModifyBody", CommandFlags.Modal)] public void ModifyBody() { Database db = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase; Editor ed =

I'm physiotherapist and researcher interested in human body posture analysis. Goal of my researches are to make 3d digital model of human posture. Right now I'm using Microsoft kinect to build a human body model, but it's difficult to do automatic analysis on that mesh. In our team we create an algorithm which analysis posture, right now we base on points located on the body, for that is necessary to manually locate that point's which is inaccurate and time consuming. Our idea is to use divide human body into segments and then fit in those segments some geometry figures ( cylinders , bal, ), next step is to calculate center of masses of those figures, so we simplify the posture to 20-40 points , and calculation of those points can be made automatic.

A way to update a property set definition programmatically?
Or via a tool palette tool.... I see there is with schedules for instance a right-click option to import a schedule style to update it... but I can't find a way to do this with property set definitions.
This would be in AutoCAD Arch (or MEP) 2012 or 2013.

I am wondering if there is a way that you can use the geometry from Architecture in Inventor other than just a visual concept. I am trying to create buildings in Architecture then import them into Inventor. I have tried the "Sync Inventor" command but there is no usable geometry when it is imported into Inventor. I have used Navisworks to show the building layouts but I am needing to be able to take measurements and possibly constrain to walls or other solid objects.

I've created a fairly simple mesh in 3DS Max to use as topography in ACA. I'd like to be able to turn the geometry into a mass element or even a 3D Solid so that I can use it ACA, but this doesn't seem possible. I feel like Ive tried every conversion method I know how to do but ACA doesn't seem to have this ability, or least not a very strong ability.

I wanted to draw a piece of duct....a transition piece to go from circular duct to rectangular duct, and make it so that the circular is offset from the rectangular.
I didn't need anything too pro so i started with a rectangle and a circle, then started drawing a few interconnecting lines. I tried a few 3D commands, but none of my usual seemed appropriate. What loft does?
quick search on yt: [URL].....
click - click - click and it's done! i reckon the whole shape could be done in under a dozen clicks!
gave SHELL a go with it and it's exactly what i was aiming for (never thinking i would get close). i've no idea why it is called 'loft' tho!

Any dynamic block or any sort of add on for running HVAC flex duct in a drawing in AutoCAD LT 2D? I am trying to come up with any easy way to show more detailed duct work beyond just a single line.

I am trying to place HVAC duct work in Revit 2014, and every time I draw the duct work I get a error message: A serious error has occurred. The current action hase been canceled. It is strongly recommended you save your work in a new file before continuing.
Is there a "BUG" in the systems side of Revit 2014, I have downloaded the Release 1 and the service pack 2 (which that is crap also).

I downloaded a hose fitting ipt file from the Parker website and did the Tube and Pipe Authoring thing to put it into the content center as a new family in a new read/write library. When I browse for it to use as the Start Fitting on my hose, the new family does not appear in the list. What is my problem?
The new library is checked in my Projects configuration. I have been monkeying with the NS column of the family and can't seem to get it back to its original format now.

I am relatively un-practiced using AutoCAD and I am struggling with keeping my drawing in the state it was created. All of my curved lines seem to have moved or doubled so now there are two of the same very close to each other which makes the line width seem heavy. Because my curved lines are not exactly where I created them now it means that my hatching does not sit flush with its boundary. A separate issue is that when I am choosing 'pick points' to hatch, they take a very long time to select before the hatch box appears.

I have a sinusoidal curve, that I've created using a third party app, which has worked really well. But the app only produces the form in a straight line and i now need to fit it to a number of curves.
I have a form of 3 radii and a couple of flats, which the sinusoidal form needs to fit along. All this work is just in 2D as i need to output the dxf into a CNC machine.

I've just got AutoCAD 2012 and mkaing some rings, I needed to fit the same textures of a ring of 8mm in a 6mm ring. My problem is that the inside diameter is larger in the 6mm ring, and that's why I can't use the Scale command. Is there a command that allows me to fit all the objects in this area??
Here is the file with both of the rings.

Pipe and tank plant layouts, now need to make a modified (not standard) pipe fitting.
Looking for a pipe plug drawing. the fitting (Imperial) is 4—10. Four inch NPT piping. Appears to have a slight taper, very slight.
Or, better yet, a G 3-3/4" pipe thread(?).

I have a couple of users who accidently added connections to the wrong parts and made them fittings.
For the life of me I cannot remember how to turn them back into regular Inventor parts.
I've removed the connection points, but the parts still appear as fittings when placed into an assembly.

Put together a pressure network and actually plotted it out for a project? Are the fittings and appurtenances even readable? I have a network setup on 40 scale plans and when plotted out, you can't even tell what a recuder is compared to a valve. Tees are obvious but thats only because of the branch pipe coming off of it. Our company uses the old basic symbols that are blown up big enough that dimensionally, they are not correct but visually they look really nice.

I'm trying to make a piping run that at one point branches off in another direction. Basically I want to have one straight pipe, a main line, where another pipe branches off and sticks out vertically from it and goes its own way. However, I want this branching pipe to be welded to the main line, not connected with a tee fitting. Inventor won't let me create branches from within a route, and it doesn't seem to want to let me snap to the existing main line run if I create a new run for the branching pipe.

I had a hydraulic hose connected to an elbow fitting and now it has been changed a straight fitting.
What is the proper way to do this so that it is still adaptive?
And how can I reconnect the hose to the new fitting and have it adaptive?

Using Routed Systems in the Tube & Pipe Authoring dialog page on the End Treatment pull down -- is there a detailed list of what the different end treatments mean ? such as what does "Quick Connect" exactly mean, or Swaged, single ferrule or dual (such as used with a Swagelok fitting)... What can you do with "Other".... etc..

I am designing pressure pipe network for water supply line in civil 3d 2013.In that ,I am not able to insert 90 degree bends,change pipe properties know that there is default bends available in civil 3d but I need more fittings and different dia pipe. I asl know that in C:program dataAutodeskenupressure pipe fittings in that all fittings are available and SSL there is .*sqlite file available. But I Don't know to how to import this pipe fittings in civil 3d 2013.

I'd hoped that I could change the name of a part document like I did with sketches, simply assignment:
BSTR bstrName ;pPartDoc->get_FullDocumentName (&bstrName) ;wprintf (L"
Full document name was %s
",wchar_t(bstrName)) ;pPartDoc->FullDocumentName = L"Whatever" ;
But the compiler complains about no put method on that last line.How do I change the name of a Part Document programatically?

We have a bunch of dwg files. The requirement is to extract a specific list of attributes from the layers within CAD to a csv file. We are currently manually opening the dwg using AutoCAD and exporting the attributes. This has been time consuming and we need a faster process.
What options do I have to programmtically extract them?
