Ventilation Add Fire Dampers At Fire Rated Penetrations

Life Safety writes to model Public API · not yet exposed

Coming soon

Before you run this

Architectural model with fire-rating parameters on walls / floors. Fire damper families loaded and mapped to ratings (60/90/120 min). Ductwork present in the host model or a linked model.

After it runs

One fire damper family instance at every fire-rated penetration, sized to the duct, with the rating + the host wall reference set; clash-safe placement around fittings.

When to use this

Don't use this when

Smoke dampers (use the smoke damper command), penetrations through non-rated bulkheads, or special routes (kitchen extract / pressurisation) where the fire strategy uses sleeves instead of dampers.

Decision flow

1. Read every duct in the active model + linked architectural walls/floors that have a fire rating.
2. Intersect each duct with each fire-rated element to find penetration points.
3. Pick the damper family and size from the rating + duct size.
4. Insert each damper in one Transaction; set rating + host wall reference; nudge clear of fittings.
5. Report counts: dampers placed, ratings used, penetrations skipped (with reason).

What you'll see in the chat

on start
I'll add fire dampers at every fire-rated penetration — scanning the model now.
thinking
Reading fire ratings on walls and floors and intersecting them with the duct network.
Picking damper sizes from each penetration's rating + duct size.
on success
Done — {n_placed} fire dampers placed across {n_walls} walls and {n_floors} floors. {n_skipped} skipped: {skip_reasons}.
on failure
Couldn't add fire dampers: {error}.
