The solution is pretty simple.  During the import of the rif file, in the Mappings dialog box, under the Services Tab, we set all specifications to "Not Set" because that is already set up under the services.  We also set everything under ignore to "No". On the Fittings Ignores tab, we set everything to "Yes".  There are some exceptions for what to ignore, more so in sheet metal (end of line equipment vs in line equipment).
