Plantroom Layout Solve Room With Preset

Plantroom Layout writes to model Public API · not yet exposed

Coming soon

Before you run this

One plantroom selected. Plantroom preset configured (equipment manifest, clearances, layout strategy). Doors, drains and flue penetration modelled. Exclusion zones drawn if any.

After it runs

The Plantroom Layout panel shows a preview of the solved layout (positions, rotations, clearance halos). On Place, family instances are committed to the Revit model in one Transaction with audit log written.

When to use this

Don't use this when

Bespoke layouts where the preset doesn't apply, plantrooms with multiple zones (split into separate runs), or schemes where equipment is selected by performance only.

Decision flow

1. Read the plantroom geometry, doors, drains, flue and exclusion zones.
2. Read the active plantroom preset (equipment manifest + clearances + layout strategy).
3. Run the layout solver to compute positions, rotations and clearance halos.
4. Preview the result in the Plantroom Layout panel; await Place from the user.
5. On Place, commit family instances + halos in one Transaction; write audit log.

What you'll see in the chat

on start
I'll solve the plantroom layout against the preset and show you the preview.
thinking

on success
Done — layout solved with {n_equipment} pieces. Preview ready in the panel — press Place when you're happy.
on failure
