Kimberly,

 

FYI what we all really need is a version of "conduit without fittings" for HVAC piping.

 

For everybody's knowledge, you can use conduit without fittings for the time being. Hopefully your BIM Manager is okay with that however... although it's fitting-less, it does actually use fittings, but it appears on drawings without separator lines where pipes meet fittings, so it appears seamless. They're very similar to other pipe fittings. Create lookup tables to tabulate the nominal diameter to the minimum bend radius, and maybe create a desired bend radius to increase where necessary, etc. You can't assign GPM to them (or can you with Project Parameters? Hmm) by default, but when you select the full run, and give it a unique number, you can create a Conduit Run Schedule where it will add the centerline length of bends to the total, so that you can total your circuit runs instantly.

 

Enjoy!
