Tee not appearing

tmccar — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 16:28:15 GMT

When I run some PVC pipework, the tees are not forming as normal. Elbows are ok, but tee connections are just showing as direct connections. Is there a setting for this?

Routing preferences

What setting should I change in Routing Preferences? "Tee" is set to "all"

All? Really? I think you think that it means something that it doesn't.

Look at the headers and, in the appropriate column, select the tee that should be used.

Sorry - I should have said "Preferred Junction Type" says "Tee" Min Size - All

Could you post a screenshot of your routing preferences and maybe a screenshot of what you’re seeing in the model?

I knew what you were talking about.

Did you find the correct column for setting which tee you want?

Do you have any tees in the model?

This is what I'm seeing:

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Your preferred junction type is a tee and that's for all sizes.

Your junction, in the "line" below has size constraints, both min and max. If your pipes are outside of that range, you will need to expand that range or add the appropriate tee and set the size constraints appropriately.

It's happening for all sizes

Try to load another PVC Tee fitting family in set the below to All.

You're gonna have to share your model or a small portion that exhibits the behavior, to end the guessing.

Have you tried removing the size constraints on the tee that you have specified?

Re: Tee not appearing

tmccar — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 23:34:38 GMT

Yes, I did that

If you can share the model, that would end all doubt.

My next guess is that the family that you have specified is not working for some reason.

Here is the model:

Sorry, I don't have 2022 loaded. I might be able to get to it after work if no one else figures it out in the mean time.

Ok, thanks.

If I open the file on my PC at home, it works OK so it's so kind of universal setting.

Re: Tee not appearing

There's no "universal" setting within Revit that would effect that.

I sent this to Autodesk Support as a support case. It's now working.

Thanks
