    Hi  we are using revit mep rel. 2012.

     

    i downloaded the grooved revit fittings from Victaulic site. 

    added them to family,

    can see all except when i try to draw a lenght of pipe and change directions,

    revit adds a 45 deg. elbow when i want a 90 deg.

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?

    Could you post one of the uncooperative families files as well as the corresponding catalog .txt file (if there is one)?

    A believe this fitting requires a lookup table named, "Victaulic-IPS-Elbow No 10-13.csv". This file should have been downloaded along with the .rfa file.

    You need to place the csv into the lookup table directory which should be

     

    C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RME 2012\Lookup Tables\Pipe

     

    They should then work correctly.
