How to set pipe fittings at a specific angle to draw pipelines in Revit

In Revit pipeline design, drawing pipe fittings at specific angles is a common requirement. However, by default, Revit only allows pipes to be drawn vertically or horizontally. This article is brought to you by php editor Yuzai, who will introduce how to set up Revit to draw pipe fittings at specific angles. In this article, you'll learn how to modify connector settings, use the Rotate tool, and use work plane pairs to accurately draw fittings to improve your piping design efficiency.

Open [Mechanical Settings], you can open it by clicking [MEP Settings] under the [Management] tab, or directly click the oblique triangle under the Mechanical Equipment Panel under the System tab to open the Mechanical Settings dialog box, expand the pipeline and find 【Angle】Node.

We will see that only 90° and 45° are checked in the Use Specific Angle column, so we cannot generate models for connections at other angles.

You only need to choose to use any angle to connect the pipes at any angle according to the actual situation. However, it should be noted that some pipe fittings connected at any angle may become non-standard parts, which is inconsistent with the actual construction situation. Here we It is best to select [Use specific angles], and then check all other angles preset by the software, so that there will be no problem. (90° is a required option, so it cannot be unchecked)

Similarly, air ducts and cable trays can also set the angle of the connectors. The difference is that the air duct, Cable trays and conduits can be set with angle increments to determine the angle value.

The above is the detailed content of How to set pipe fittings at a specific angle to draw pipelines in Revit. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
