Revit Fittings won't make connection at certain angles

[Anonymous]

Some of my fittings seem to be picky at certain times as to whether they will make the connection or not.  For example this p-trap complains when trying to make anything but a 90 degree connection but its fine if it is a regular 90.  See attachment.

hi @Anonymous

In order to get the useful answer you must attach that rfa in order to check some of your parameters and flexibility.

Here are some of the revit families that are giving me these kinds of problems.  Note I have check the allow angles check box in the ones I have loaded and this was wrong on several of the fittings.

This problem happens to me too, when I use a slope with 1/4" the connections not working mostly frequent with a P-trap. What happened? I don't know, but I always have used slope 1/8" or 0/12" and this It works.

I think that Revit is horribly non-functional when it comes to stuff like this.  Really needs to be fixed asap.  This level of buggyness should not be on such expensive software, really unbelievable pathetic.

It is doable with good families. Relying on OOTB content could be considered pathetic.

I run into these problems with standard revit fittings as well.

Here is the standard elbow fitting that comes with Revit giving me an error when trying to slope the pipe.

The OOTB fittings do allow for slope, if your settings also allow the slope that you are trying to define. Look into your MEP settings for pipe.

I don't have this problem with all fittings only certain ones so its not my MEP settings.

I don't have this problem with all fittings

Please refer to post #6.

Nothing you have said addresses any of the issues, your just attacking me and not even addressing what I have complained about.  This is not in any way a solution to anything.  Please stop communicating on this topic unless you have a solution.

Your "complaints" were little more than flaming AutoDesk. Not even close to asking for help.

I tried one a couple and it they works with several slopes.

Getting this error is hard to reproduce, It does not always show up.  I think maybe just figuring out why the p-trap doesn't work might be easier because it is more consistent.  See attached.  My theory is that if something else in the system won't adjust for some reason it affects fittings that are somewhere else in the system.

Is there a way to report bugs to Autodesk?

Here is another example of it not working.  I swear I've done this other places without issue.  I'm simply putting in a 4" PVC pipe with a slope and putting in a vertical pipe off of that and it won't do it.  I have also tried to bring the vertical pipe to the horizontal and get the same error.  I'm using standard fittings I have used several other places without issue.

Here is yet another strange error.  I'm simply trying to make a 90 elbow into a T by hitting the plus sign like I have done numerous times.

Have you tried automatic routing solutions?  I am not a MEP engineer so please excuse my ignorance if occurs.

Hello, I download your 2 families and try angle 1/2"/12",1/4"/12",1/8"/12". They work well. (The trap family is a coupling.)

For fittings used in sloped pipe systems, please make sure the angle really flexible. You may see angle like 89.90 degree.
