Revit Fabrication Sloped Pipe Multi-Point Routing

Anonymous

I have been drawing in sloped pipe in Revit Fabrication 2020 and whenever I use the Multi-Point Routing tool or try to connect to ends with the "Route and Fill" commands, I get an error that says: "Fabrication fitting could not be made to fit. Unable to change fabrication dimension." I have adjusted the tolerance angle for the fittings to 3, tried utilizing different pipes, but I have run out of solutions. Thanks, Aaron

In my experience and the experience of my coworkers, when it comes to pitched pipe it is best to just stick build it. Multi point and route and fill rarely work correctly and when they do it tends to change or remove your pitch you have set.

 

Best workflow we have found is getting fittings attached to both ends of straight pipe as soon as possible and a liberal use of the align command to help with dragging final connections into place.

The two worst parts about using fabrication parts in Revit are hangers and pitched pipe.

Did you ever get this working?  Curious if you found the root of the issue/solution.  I am noticing the same thing, sort of.  Our CI service/items works with multi-point routing whether sloped or not.  But, the PVC does not.  The only discernable difference I could see was that the angle tolerance on the CI 90s were set to 5, while the PVC 90s were set to 3.  All other relevant CI or PVC fittings were set to 3.  Even after I updated the PVC 90s to match the 5 of the CI 90s, the PVC still only fills when not sloped.

Do rolled 90-45 offsets work for you?
