Pipe size filter excludes 3/4" pipe

Anonymous

I'm using a view filter that targets pipe sizes less that 3" (Type L copper) to control the line weight. It seems to ignore 3/4" piping but includes 1/2" piping.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try using the filter with the Diameter parameter like in the picture attached.

How do I get the "Pipes" and "Diameter" to show up in the filter?

 

This is all that I can see:

If you want specific parameters from different categories, you should use the OR filter. This can provide you with a pretty powerful selection.

Check your Units (UN shortcut), drop down the menu and go to 'Piping', check Pipe Size and make sure that your rounding is not set to 1/2" and is set to 1/4". This could restrict your selection choices

The rounding is set to 1/4".

 

I suspect that because we're using Revit 2019, the selection options shown in Bogdan Matei's screen shot are not available...

@Anonymous You are right, I was using Revit 2020.1.

If you are on Revit 2019, then you can use 2 filters.

 

The first one is applied only to Pipes, with the condition Diameter is less than 3".

The second one is applied to Pipe Fittings and Pipe Accesories and the condition is Maximum Size is less than 3".

Then apply both filters to the view you want.
