    Default No Piping Flow After Tees

    I have created a sanitary system. All fixtures are connected with pipe. When I do a "Check Pipe System" i get hundreds of "Unassigned Flow on Connector.." errors.

    I used a filter to see where pipe is and is not inheriting fixture units from the plumbing fixtures and all flow ceases at tees. I tried using different tees, linking and unlinking the connectors together in the tee families. I could not figure out how to link all three connectors if that is possible.

    Whats going on?

    You can only link 2 connectors.
    The tee connectors should be linked through the main and the system type should be fitting. The branch connector element should be fitting as well.

    See this link for more information

    all three connectors are of the "Fitting" system type, and the two inline connectors are connected.
    I found another project where fixture units were added up correctly through the whole system. I loaded the tee family used in that project, into my current project and it does not work.

    I've no more ideas

    alright, the reason is because of open ends. everything is connected the way it's suppose to be, but I guess revit gets confused when the sanitary vents have open ends (to atmosphere). I suppose it cant figure out which way the **** flows... down...

    so I'll put caps on all the vents or some other family.

    thx for your help Jrobker
