Problem Getting Custom Properties on my Rigid Pipe using Tube and Pipe.

[dahavel]

I am creating new Pipe Styles and trying to create a custom Family using the Pipe model from Victaulic's website.

The Problem I am having it after I created my pipe runs and started on my Bill(parts list), I realized the new Part I published isn't creating the custom properties (L) or (PL) and (Size) or (ND) for each piece of pipe in the Run leaving me with a blank parts list.

Here are the steps I took:

(Skipped the setting up of the Ipart and Tube and Pipe set up since the file on the vic website is already done.)
1. With the pipe part open I used the content center Publish Part. I added PL and ND as key Columns and Filled out my Family Name and Descript.

2. Created a new Pipe Style and set my pipe to the correct family.

I am not sure but by this point I feel like the step I missed already happened.

Any help would be a appreciated.

I just saw this post from last week, somehow it went right past my feed.  Do you still need help with this issue?  If so, can you post your part here, the way it was when you published it to the CC?  I'll take a look at it and see if I can find the missing piece of the puzzle.

Hello, yes I got it work. There is two ways I found to get the result I was looking for. Give the Family in the Properties a Description in the Content Center editor. Then that's the default for the whole family, or just add the column to the family table for Description or make a new Column for any other Custom Iproperties I want on specific parts. Then just use a expression and Map to the Inventor Property you want to Custom for a Custom one.
