Charlotte Hub Ftting Problem

damyan_lyaskov · ‎08-07-2016

Hello, Revit MEP Gurus out there.

I am trying to use Charlotte's Short-Sweep_Cast_Iron_SV-29 Bend family. I have it, selected in my Routing Preferences as Elbow, but in process of creating the pipe the hub alternate, once in the flow direction, and once against the flow. See the attachment .

Any ideas how to solve the issue will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

This is the normal behavior of the bends, I would recommend that the fitting could have a invert direction YES/NO parameter to invert the position.

Deleting the fitting and using trim command, depending on the pipe selection, may invert the fitting position.

Can you explain more in details, how to use the Yes/No parameter to invert the direction. Flip control?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Unfortunatelly it is not so basic stuff, but the concept is to make a geometry that can exchange the parameters values between both ends, using many if commands to allow the values swapping!
