Autocad Mep 2013 Hangers For Clothes
Exploding a hanger is definately not the same as detaching it. Once you explode it once it is no longer a hanger it is a block reference.
[Revit MEP] - MEP Supports, Hangers, and. A deliverable in Revit and the designer must do the hangers and supports in AutoCAD MEP. 2013, 04:14 PM. AutoCAD MEP > Forum > Detach Hangers This page. The Aecb hangers for autocad mep are not really worth the trouble of messing around with.
Once it is a block reference it is no longer an AECB object and you will loose all property sets attached to the hanger as well as the ability to modify it using the the property palette. If you want full control over all of your hangers then you should think about creating the hangers using mvparts or structural items.

Ok, so I am pretty much fed up with all the hanger apps out there as none of them work good enough. So I am setting out to fix it. However, there seems to be something missing. I need a way to have a family have the adjustment part of the hanger manually adjustable in the project without A: moving the pipe/duct it is associated to (provided that you chose to create the family in this manner) or B: Without one part (elevation) of the hanger moving (the attached part) while the one can be freely dragged or using the aligning tool. I am thinking a nested face based family would be clutch, (It would be great if there was a 2 face based family type!!) but I would have to nest it in such a way that it didn’t try to associate with the parent family, but rather wait until the project, and even then it would need some sort of instance parameter driven shaft that it was locked onto. After I thought about that my head started to hurt and I decided to ask if anyone on here had any better Ideas?? Simpler methods?

Perhaps something stupid easy that I’m not seeing? I will eventually have to advance our electrical design to include Conduit and Cable Tray supports, and my initial plan will be to create the basic hanger as a Nested Family, control the dimensions of said hanger from within a host family, which will house a linear Array, placing supports based on user inputted spacing (Instance).
Then in the Family, place this Family along a conduit run and constrain the end points to the ends of the conduit, and the constrain the elevation in a Section View. Again, this is my initial plan of attack and I will likely alter and refine it as I go. If you would like to give this preliminary concept a shot, feel free and please let me know how it goes!
Attached is a Project file (Revit 2014) with a rudimentary Pipe Hanger and Pipe Hanger Array Family. The Hanger Families are Level Based and currently intended to be hosted to the Level above the intended Piping. I followed the process below: 1.
Place an instance of the Support Array on the Level above. On the Level of the Piping, use the Align command (w/constrain) to center the Array on the pipe and lock the Array's ends to the ends of the Pipe.
In a Section/Elevation View, use the Align command (w/constrain) the top of the support to the desired Face (under-floor) and the center of the hanger on the Pipe. Manually enter the Pipe's Nominal Size in the Support Array Family. The above steps can be tedious, but the Pipe can be moved, elevation changed, end points stretched and the Supports remain properly constrained to the Pipe. There are some foreseeable problems such as sloped piping, adjusting the angle of the Piping, and the fact that the Nominal Pipe Size of the Support must be manually entered.
