Pipe branch connection length based on Main line Size

Hi all, Good Day for us,

 

I have an issue regarding the pipe connection I have a standard for pipe branch connection length but based on mainline size.

Example:

The mainline is 50mm and We have 32mm, 40mm and 50mm branches that the connection length must be 85mm measured from the centre of the mainline to the end of the connection.

please see below.

However, When I edit the Branch connection family, I can't found the solution to adjust the length to refer the mainline size.

Please advise the idea or solution to fixed it as currently I need to change it manually and so waste my time.

I have attached the Branch Connection family and test project file on my post for help us

Great thank for you all. Cheers.

The spud/tap doesn't know what the main line size is, there is no connector to read that value. I'm pretty sure that only a tee can do that.

I think, unfortunately, that you have to assign the main line diameter manually unless someone has a clever way of getting the value automatically.
