A couple of Plumbing Issues.

-Is there a way to get the plumbing plan view annotations for pipe sizes and/or plumbing fixture tags to show up in the 3D view? I’m looking to make plumbing riser (isometric) drawings and if I change a pipe size I would like it to show up and update automatically in the iso (3D) view. AutoCAD MEP will do this.
Is this possible to do in Revit?

-I’m trying to get the plumbing fixture units to propagate through the piping so I can tag them. When I select the pipe connected to the sink then select “element properties” the fixture units show up in the pipe. The fixture units will also show up in the pipe down stream the first 90 deg. elbow, however if a tee or reducing tee is installed the fixture units will no longer show up on the pipe.
Is there a way to get the fixture units to show up down stream of the tee’s?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say you are SOL on the first wish - the tutorial for annotation shows the user placing plain old text with leader where the text is derived from your knowledge, not querying or reading model data.
I am going to have to leave the second question for someone else.

Make sure that your "Main" run of pipe is not open at both ends. The Fixture Unit direction goes from each fixture to the "open end" of the run (The Building Supply or the Building Waste out), adding together at Tees and Wyes. If the run of pipe is open at more than one end, It doesn't know which way (direction) to sum up all of the Units. Otherwise, something's wrong with your Revit.
