The Lines Between Equipment extension is a powerful tool that allows you to draw lines between different equipment elements in Autodesk Revit. This extension helps you visualize the connections between equipment elements, making it easier to understand the relationships between them. By specifying the source and destination elements, you can quickly generate lines that represent these connections. This user manual will guide you through the process of using the Lines Between Equipment extension.
The Lines Between Equipment extension requires several input arguments to generate the lines accurately. Here are the input arguments you need to provide:
This option determines whether existing lines between equipment elements should be deleted before drawing new lines. If enabled, existing lines will be removed. If disabled, new lines will be drawn without deleting existing ones.
When enabled, the extension will use the active view in Autodesk Revit as the drawing canvas. If disabled, you can specify a specific view for drawing lines.
If "Use Active View" is disabled, you can select a specific view from the drop-down menu. This view will be used as the drawing canvas for the lines.
This option allows you to filter the equipment elements that will be considered as the source for drawing lines. You can set up filters based on element properties, categories, or other criteria.
This option allows you to filter the equipment elements that will be considered as the destination for drawing lines. Similar to the source elements, you can set up filters based on element properties, categories, or other criteria.
Select the desired line style for the lines that will be drawn between the equipment elements. The drop-down menu will display the available line styles in Autodesk Revit.
This parameter specifies the key parameter in the source elements that will be used to match with the destination elements. The extension will draw lines between the source and destination elements that have matching key parameter values.
This optional parameter allows you to apply a regular expression (regex) to the values of the source element key parameter. The regex will be used for matching with the destination element key parameter values. New to Regex? Here is a helpfull site to test out regex: regexr.com
