    Default Pipe fittings not lining up with pipe mains

    I have had no previous problems like this on any other project or prior to this on this specific project.

    I came in today and now my waste pipe fittings do not line up with the mains (see video).

    The waste system is still connected but not visually. If i nudge the mains than the fittings pop back into place.

    Has anyone seen this before or better yet have a solution.

    Thanks

    I saw you prefixed the post with 2012. I had the same issue happen in version 2012 too. When the branch pipes were dragged from their endpoint to the main then the interconnecting fittings and pipes worked fine. But if I used the "extend" tool to get the branch pipe connected to the main it would only appear correctly until I synced and closed the model. Upon opening it again the branch lines were still "connected" from a system standpipe but not visually.

    This pipe was modeled by dragging the end points, not with extend.
    Are you saying that the next time I open this model, I will have to fix the pipe again?

    Hi JR, I've seen similar issues when upgrading a file from a previous Revit version. Word is that SP2 for RMEP 2013 is supposed to fix it. Haven't tested to verify.
    If you find a solution, please post it for reference.
    Thanks

    I suppose we may be having different issues then with a similar outcome. Mine fixed itself after end-dragging the branch pipes onto the main and everything was fine after that.

    BTW, I haven't had this issue at all in 2013.

    Well, unfortunately I cannot upgrade because the linked arch file is 12.

    This file has not been upgraded and I have the latest SP.
    This project is due in a week, so i'm just going to leave the file open. I don't want to have to make these graphical changes again.

    If I find anything, I will post a resolution.
