I am having the hardest time making new pipe types. I want to make a carbon steel pipe type using butt welded fittings. Revit doesn’t have the butt-welded option so I am trying to use the Elbow – Generic Standard from the library. I start with the Standard Pipe Type, then I edit the type and give it a different name “Steel”. I change the Material to Carbon Steel and the connection type to Welded and leave the class at Schedule 40. All of my fittings are still Generic – Standard. Back in the model I draw my pipe, making sure I have the new “Steel” style selected, but my the outside diameter of my elbows is not the same outside diameter of my pipe. I have tried editing the elbow family. I found that it was linked to CSV file. I edited the file and saved it as something else. In the family I made sure I was pointing to the new CSV file, but it still isn’t fixing my problem. I have run out of fixes to think of. Please help
