The Assign Run Id feature enables users to quickly assign Conduit Run Schedule values to a conduit run. When applied, the schedule values will synchronize with the eVolve_ConduitRun_ shared parameters. Additionally, a Revit schedule can be created using the eVolve_ConduitRun parameters, and a sample schedule can be found within the eVolve Template file labeled eE_Conduit_Run_Schedule.
eVolve tab ⮞ Conduit Data panel ⮞ Assign Run Id button
Usage
From the EVOLVE ribbon, in the Conduit Data panel, click the Assign Run Id button.
From the active project view, select an element that will be assigned the run Id.
When the Assign Run Id window appears, select a run from the drop-down menu and click OK. The run that was originally selected will inherit this run's parameters.
Continue steps 1-4 for each additional run to be reassigned.
Window Overview
Assign from Run Schedule panel
Assign from Run Schedule radio button - when selected, existing run ids may be associated with selected runs.
Run Id menu - displays all runs in the Conduit Run Schedule
Only Show Available Runs checkbox - when checked, the Run Id menu is filtered and only displays runs that have not been assigned a Run Id
Filter by selection checkbox - when checked, the Run Id menu only displays runs applicable to the selected runs. For example, if two conduit runs are selected, then the Run Id menu will only display runs of the same size and with a parallel quantity of 2.
Create New Run panel
Create New Run radio button - when selected, new run ids may be generated from the Assign Run Id window. Note, you may use dynamic naming to generate run ids.
Run Id menu - used to enter a unique conduit run identifier; the name is written to the eE_ConduitRun_Id parameter.
Prompt to define additional parameters checkbox - when enabled, a prompt will be displayed to enter additional run parameters.
Misc
Continuously create/assign run ids checkbox - when enabled, after selecting parallel runs and/or defining parameters, the Assign Run Id window is displayed to continue assigning/creating run ids.
Tips and Tricks
Adding Run Schedule parameters
NOTE: As of 7.4 and higher, the Column Chooser now includes all of the "Run Schedule" fields.
To add a Run Schedule parameter to the Run Idmenu grid
Right-click on a column header and select Column Chooser.
From the Customization panel, drag and drop the desired parameters to the Run Idmenu grid.
After the desired parameters have been add, close the Customization panel.
Grid States
TIP: While the embedded grids do not have the Grid States feature, the state of the grid and its columns are perpetual and will persist once Revit is reopened. To quickly restore a grid to the default state, right-click in the upper left corner of the grid.
Best Practices
IMPORTANT - Always use the Assign Run Id feature to assign run Ids. Manually entering a run Id into the eE_ConduitRun_Id parameter does not assign the run Id and will cause unexpected behavior.
To make finding the correct run Id easier, take advantage of the Filter by selection checkbox.
