Rotating Tee pipe fitting

[n_mouhamed]

Hello,
I am facing a problem with MEP, i want to rotate that pipe fitting 33.02° using the rotate command but i am not able to do that. Does anyone know the solution how can i solve this issue?

Are you trying to rotate the family instance vertically or horizontally? If vertically - Edit the family. Make sure that Always Vertical is checked (I know, it sounds counter-intuitive!)

I tried both with and without "Always vertical" but nothing changed. Qnd qs you see in the SS i wanted rotate it 33.02° but it doesnt change the angle.

Your screenshot isn't very clear - which part is not rotating to the 33.02 angle? It looks as though the tee has rotated?

 I want to rotate that part as you see in the SS

You've obviously been able to rotate it somehow to get it into its current position.

What prevents you from rotating it further?

Do you get an error message? If so what does it say?

If you upload the family someone could examine it to see what the problem might be.

The issue this is the model that I received, I  wanted to changed the angle but i am unable to do it. I uploaded the family.
Thank you in advance.

The fitting doesn't work when included in pipe routing options.

It also doesn't work when placed manually (doesn't break into pipe):

It has been set as "Workplane Based":

Untick Workplane Base and tick Always Vertical and it will work.
