PIPE ANGLE GETS CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY.

WHEN DRAWING THE PIPE IN REVIT THE ANGLE OF THE PIPE GETS CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY.

DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE... CHECKED THE FAMILY CONNECTORS ALSO

Change to Use Any Angle if you don't want it to snap to set values.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY.

I HAVE CHECKED THIS ANGLE IN THE MECHANICAL SETTINGS ALSO STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS

Post a screenshot of your settings.

Please stop "shouting" in all caps.

@Ajay_J_S 

simply in the fitting family the elbow .select the connector that should be the start of the elbow and from the conextual tab you have the possibility to assign as primary.and then link the two connectors together.

by the way you can differentiate between the primary connector and the others by the  X mark

That won't be causing this behaviour.

@Ajay_J_S please respond to my earlier request if you still want help.

Most likely the probem is with the fitting family.

As i can see whatever the angle is ,teh fitting is taking the same angle.

I recommend to upload the family here so i can have a look.

I think the opposite, I think it's the pipe angle settings per my earlier answer, and the fitting is flexing to those angles, but since I was ghosted we'll never know.

Hello,

 

The point where both pipe lines intersect must correspond to the family origin.

By the image, your fitting family seems to be wrong.

Usually, I create the main connector pointing to the left and the angled connector pointing to the upper right.

Your origin (insertion point) is in the wrong place.

You need to adjust the geometry so that the intersection of the pipe centrelines is at the intersection of the CLR and CFB planes.

HOW TO SET THE ORIGIN LIKE THE IMAGE PLEASE SHARE IN STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

Move all of the geometry, recreate any constraints and dimensional labels. Adjust dimensional values/formulas if necessary.

The attached document will help in setting up fittings from scratch.
