Improved bent pipe capabilities

Improved bent pipe capabilities

The tools used for merging pipe should be improved so that a number of handrail segments can be merged to create one continuous bent pipe. This is how every shop I have ever fabricated or detailed for does things. I have explored all "work arounds" related to this issue, and they are impractical and clunky to say the least. polybeams inserted over the handrail cause object presentation issues in drawings, and it is tedious to keep track of all parts that must be unchecked to use for lists and numbering. This is one of the most prevalent problems I have encountered when using the software.

Spot on!!!!!

Have had exactly the same issues.

I have to label each bend  in a rail at the moment so the lads on shop floor don't think its a welded elbow hahaha.

Almost 5 years later, is there any progress on this?  I am trying to use Revit for bent piping, and not sure I have found a best-practice yet.
