Changing offset of pipe system?

[adelarueter]

hi! I'm new to revit- I'm drawing some return and supply hydronic pipe systems, and on my return system, I accidentally set the offset to the completely wrong number. I've been messing around with settings and pipes for a while and can't seem to find any setting that will allow me to change the offset of the entire pipe system. I would like to be able to access the "Auto Route" button to change the offset but can't get to it- the "edit system" button only allows me to add or delete radiators etc to the system. Is there any way to change the offset without simply deleting the whole system and starting again?

Thanks!

What kind of offset are you talking about, (vertical) Offset from the level? And which Revit version?

If your system is in one horizontal plane then you can select one piece of pipe and set the middle elevation  to the right value (in older versions of Revit this is called "Offset")

If you have vertical pieces in your system you will have to do this for each horizontal section or you can do it by selecting the whole pipe system and use the move tool while you are in a section.

The Auto route function is only used for creating new routes, not editing them when already created. Then you would have to delete the existing pipework and restart the Auto function .

The default settings for the Auto route function can be found under: Manage > MEP Settings > Mechanical Settings > Pipe Settings > Conversion

Hi@adelarueter 

The Offset property exists so that we can make the necessary adjustments and position the pipes precisely.
It's also important to remember that the Offset property will always be related to a Reference Level.

Hi! Yes, the issue is with the "middle elevation" from level for the whole system- moving the horizontal pieces individually seems to dissconect them from the system and vertical pipes. I'm using Revit 2020. Thanks for the help!
