Hello @Anonymous,

there could be several reasons for this Warning.

1: your Pipe type is not set up well. Revit can't find a transition to place between the Pipe and the plumbing fixture. please check if there is a pipe fitting in the routing preferences for transitions.

2: the size of the connector is different than the size of the fitting Revit wants to place and there is no right size.

please check the size of the connector of the Plumbing fixture and check if there is a matching Pipe fitting in the Routing solution that can fit between the pipe size and the plumbing fixture connection.

As the warning indicates, you have to look at the routing preferences of your chosen pipe type.

If you try to connect your pipe to a connector and that connector has a diameter that falls out of the range of the pipe type you get these kind of errors.

For example if your pipe connector (on the toilet) has a diameter of 5 mm. If you try to draw a pipe of type Standard from this connector you get an error.

As seen in the screenshot the pipe type standard has a min size of 6 mm. Thus the needed pipe segment size is out of the range, causing the error

Hi L.Maas, I have the same issue. However, the connector of the WC is 46mm and the Standard pipe I've in Revit as default have a range between 6 and 200mm.

Any idea why I still have the same error? thanks!
