Pipe fitting parameters not appearing in Navisworks

If I export a Revit file to nwc then append in Navisworks. The properties of a pipe have an element tab with pipe size etc. But the pipe fittings don't have an element tab in the properties so it doesn't display any info such as diameter of the fitting.

 

Also if I add a shared parameter to the fitting they don't export to Navis. 

 

The same issue happens with duct fittings. anybody know why ?

Hi there,

 

I simulated this just now, and it also puzzled me. So in my first try, I also don't see most of the properties of the fitting. All I can see are three tabs (Item, Timeliner and Element ID).

So I looked in the Selection Tree and clicked on the first object above Standard (which is selected when I select the fitting). And now, I can see its properties.

So to be able to do this with selection, just go to your Options > Interface > Selection and change Resolution to First Object.

Upon selecting the fitting, you should be able to select the first object immediately which contains the element properties.

 

I hope this helps.
