Create New Union Fitting

[Anonymous]

Hi folks,

I am trying to split a pipe into segments and create new union fittings between them. However, the NewUnionFitting method I use creates Tees instead of unions. Is this something to do with the preferred junction type?

Please can you advise on how to sort this out?

Thanks for your help,

Aziz

I work with fitting in revit for very long time and I stop using their methods for junction very long time ago, mostly because this method try to fix what you make.
the reason why it may create tee is:

1) you set tee family as a union(yes it is possible )

2) in other place some elbow or something like that move pipe.

3) look on your code and make sure you use right method

4) did you split pipe first ? in what version on revit you work?

Many thanks for that. As you were expecting, the union family was categorised as A Tee type :-

Yes, I split pipe first by creating two new pipes, deleting the old one, and connecting the new ones. I use Revit 2020.
