Plumbing Pipe mixed in metric and imperial

Hello everyone, I've started a new piping project, and the pipeline will be made of copper pipe. However, the pipe measurement is required in inches. I couldn't figure out how to do this in Revit. I want to keep the pipes in inches while the rest continues in metric. I haven't been able to find a solution yet. I did some research on the internet and found this picture, but I couldn't get a response from the person who made it. I'm hoping for your help

Hello,

 

For pipe size, this is the unit type, you can select inches instead of millimeters, even on metric template.

Go to project units and change it.

Be aware that all pipe sizes will be displayed in inches after the change.

@fabiosato I tried to do as you said before, but all units change except for the pipe unit. When I try to enter new pipe diameters, it enters in mm. When I open a new template in imperial, I don't have this problem. Of course, creating a new template like this is a waste of time for me 😞

Hello,

 

In project units, change to piping and set Pipe Size units.

I tried to post a video for you but it didn't load, maybe too big a file.

Tried again at reduced size, hopefully works this time.
