NPT threads

[Anonymous]

I'm new to Revit, and I'm wondering if there is a way to show threads on conduit like you can with bolts and screws in Inventor.

No. Because in general this would be too detailed for Revit.

Revit is used for designing buildings. If you would design everything up to the bolt/thread level would create huge unworkable projects. Normally you roughly shape your objects. Look at the differrent typical families inside the libaries to get an idea of detail.

You will use detail drawings/documentation to further clarify the items or use other software (like inventor) to get it up to poduction level.

If you start designing all the minute details you will run into problems. If you try to draw lines smaller than 0.8 mm Revit will complain that lines are too small.
