Can anyone tell me how to find the "System Tools Panel"?

For some reason I have a pipe fitting that has its 'System Classification' and 'System Type' shown as undefined and is not changeable in the 'Properties' dialog. I have therefore been trying to change this by trying to find how this is done through the Revit 2020 Help site but none of it makes any sense;

In the 'Adding a Component to a System' it says firstly - "1  In the drawing area, select one of the components in the system where you want to add a component, and click the appropriate (Duct, or Pipe) Systems tab > System Tools panel >Edit System (Piping System or Duct System).

I have done this over and over and cannot find any of these!

Just connect it to a system.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

That is easy to say but how do you connect it to a system?

It's even easier to do. I don't want to insult you by describing how to insert fixtures, draw pipes, and connect fittings because it is that easy.

You started with the default/Architectural Template didn't you?  None of that stuff is loaded in there.  Try starting a new model with the MEP template and all will work properly.

Add it to your Keyboard Shortcuts, then use it, then look up at your ribbon. Please note that all 3 of the Edit Systems Shortcuts have the same command name.
