Pipe routing at different angles

I have a tank family with a pipe connector at an angle. When I load the family into a project, I can't draw the pipe at the required angle. Is it possible to do? I would also change the angle of the pipe on the tank on the specific reference plane that it is based on.

The error message is telling you that the pipe type routing preferences do not include the required fittings.

In the project browser under Families find the pipe type family, right click and select Type Properties then select Routing Preferences > Edit

Make sure that each fitting category (elbow, junction, transition etc) has a family type included and that the size range is not set to None

I have tried to change the routing preferences, but they keep reverting back to "none". They refuse to stay the way I set them as per your image.

You don't have any fittings listed in the preferences:

You will need to have/load fittings into the project then associate at least one fitting of each of the highlighted types. In my image you will see that there were fitting family types listed under each heading.

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2019\Libraries\US Metric\Pipe\Fittings\Generic should be the standard file location for those fittings. Otherwise open a Revit mechanical template and transfer project standards of the pipe types.

Your routing preferences still say None for the most parts.  You need to load and assign fitting types to those.
