Manhole/inspection chamber and back inlet gullies

[mp_thompson]

Could anyone point me in the direction of Revit families for inspection chambers and back inlet gullies please (see images)? 

It's something that I've looked into in the past and it would be useful for indicating drainage etc on our drawings but there don't appear to be any existing families that I can find (within Revit or from manufacturers). 

It may be that I just have to create them myself but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I think you will have to make these. If you have searched various site and not found anything there is little chance then you will find it. The only way manufacturers are going to provide content is if they get feedback from the industry. Not emailing them is only hurting ourselves.

I've asked the question, numerous times, over a number of years. 

I'll add it to my list!

We have countless "Manufacturer" Revit families (many fully parametric) in our library that we have created ourselves over the years. Most of them built from from CAD data obtained from the Manufacturer. The ones you show is not particularity difficult to model via series of simple extrusions. And the pipe connectors can also be built into the family easy enough, so it can be used as a plumbing system component.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the families are straightforward enough and how you have created them is exactly what I had in mind thanks.

I know its been a few years since this was last addressed by i was wondering if anything has changed since? 

have you managed to find a family that does this?

thanks

what is the best category for these kinds of families, specifically the ones made with concrete or CMU? 

is it a fitting? is it an accesory? is it a fixture?

Accesories are more like valves, and fittings are more like elbows and tees. and fixtures are sinks, toilets and showers.

I use Pipe Fittings. MEP not my field.
