In some cases, while modelling a project, users face a problem that they have no necessary families or the families they have do not fit the exact situation in the project (for example on first phases of projecting when there is no need in high LOD or for some specific technological projects). Usually, in those cases, users must browse necessary families or create them by themselves. That takes bunch of time and the families will most probably be replaced on the next phases of modelling. It is especially exhausting creating families with pipe/duct connectors.
The tool brings a solution to save the effort and time by adding automatically special connector families and binding them to any family instances (which contain 3D solid) and any system in the model. So that even having one simple, family in the model, for example box shape, the user will be able to construct and automatically calculate the system without reworking the family.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What else should I know about this product?
In the current version, the addin is represented in two UI languages - English and German.
The tool will add separate family for each connector of unique type and settings (the families belong to the MechanicalEquipment category). In addition, the tool will add shared parameters (invisible) that come with connector family, which are similar with native connector parameters; the parameters are Revit language dependent.
Are there any known issues with this product?
Some workflow behavior will differ from the native Revit workflow of connector creation, for example, you will need to create system-preset connectors instead linked system-system connectors due to it’s not possible to “physically” link two family instances, but the calculation behavior in Revit will remain the same after that.
Is there additional support information provided?
