Revit Fabrication Parts - Tap Placement Error When Internal Lining Is Applied

Hi all,

 

Firstly, I understand I have posted a seemingly Revit question in a CAMduct forum. However, this question is more suited to this forum.

 

I am using CAMduct 2016 alongside Revit 2016 with fabrication parts. All seemed to be going well until I applied my lining specification to a straight and then tried to put a tap on it. While the tap still attaches to the duct without error the connector is hosted to the surface of the lining and not the sheetmetal and I cannot find a way to fix this. Obviously it is a problem as it will give the wrong dimensions for the branch following the tap.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Is there a way to modify something in CAMduct to fix this. My thoughts at the moment are to set my lining thickness to zero without changing the rest of the specification, as I am sure this will fix the issue. Though I can't help but think how anti-BIM that would be.

If my post answers your question, please click... Just kidding!
