My piping route will not update when I change a dimension when editing the route itself. See below. I can change a dimension, the 3D sketch of the route will update, but the pipe will not move into the correct position. Doing multiple rebuilds and updates does not update the piping.
Has anyone come across this before?

I went through each level and rebuilt all. It didn't fix the issue. I did end up having to delete the route and start over.
If you run into this again, post a "pack and go" of your assembly in here. I was at home when I responded to you last night, but here at work I could take a look at it and see if maybe I can spot something that's causing the issue.

I have had this problem before, for me it was a constraint of one fitting to another that would not let the route update. You might look at the component constraints.
Using Tube & Pipe there shouldn't be any constraints on fitings, they would be controlled by the route. But, this does bring up a valid question. Could an equipment constraint outside of the route somehow be conflicting? ie: is there anything within your route that is constrained to anything outside of the route?
Just a thought.

By the way... I love your tru union valve! Did you model that or download it?

I do have an assembly constraint, but it is within a different assembly in the route. As I have deleted and re-routed I haven't had this issue come back up on me...yet. But I will keep that in mind for my future projects.
Asahi's website does have the models available for download, which most I've brought into my files. They are generic as in the socket depths seem just arbitrary. But, I did have to redraw this one (for fun), but also to get certain parameters to show up on my BOM when I select it from the CC.
