Revit_Toolkit: Introduce Revit => BHoM converts for linear MEP elements #826

Closed pawelbaran closed 4 years ago

pawelbaran commented 4 years ago

Description:

Following https://github.com/BHoM/BHoM/pull/953 and https://github.com/BHoM/BHoM_Engine/pull/1911, the next step will be adding Revit => BHoM converts for core linear MEP objects:

[ ] pipes
[ ] ducts
[ ] wires

The code structure is very likely to be similar to the one for Bar converts:

convert the location from Revit
convert the materials from Revit (a separate convert to IMEPMaterial needed)
convert the profile from Revit (would be good to make use of the existing code base used by structural profiles if applicable)
create BHoM element property based on the converted materials and profile
create the output based on the location and property

The intervention should be needed only in the _Revit_CoreEngine project, in Convert and Query classes, starting from FromRevit.cs file.

The above image displays the properties that should be converted from Revit. The thickness of the duct itself can default to 16 gauge (0.001519 m) for the time being.
