First off, I'm an architect so please forgive me for this question ;o)
I'm using Revit through BDSP so have access to the MEP tools. Most of these aren't really required for what we do but the pipe systems have proven to be very handy for rain water pipes.
the problem I've having is the manner in which the Pipes display at the coarse view level. We need the GA's at 1:200 and would like to indicate the location of the RWP's - by symbol would be more than adequate. The trouble is that at coarse level the RWP's show as placeholders (even though they are converted to pipes) and get very big at 1:200 (see attached image)
So my question is, is there a way to either control the size of the placeholder and / or replace it with a chosen symbol?
Cheers

it's okay I've fixed the size... ;o)
Now, is there a way to change the symbol? (I'll be looking in the meantime... ;o) )
Okay, I've found the symbols under Families / Piping Systems. Interestingly it only changes if the pipe is more than a straight run... I'm sure there is a good reason for that though.
final question - is there a way to define your own symbols?
You've worked your way through admirably 😉 Sorry, no joy... the symbols for rise/drop are hardwired choices (there are some choices, I'm assuming you've seen them?)
thanks Steve, I had a feeling that might be the case - Given how Revit lets you define a great many things within the software this does seem to be something of an oversight. From an architectural perspective a simple circle with a crosshair would be ideal.
