Summary: There is a great need to add size driven support for Taps and Tees to Revit routing rules. At present, it is a "one or the other" choice - Big weakness

Description: There is a great need to add full support for size driven support for both "Taps" together with "Tees" to Revit routing rules. At present, it is a "one or the other" choice. With 35 years in the process piping design world, I have seen very few flow systems (like Chilled water supply or Return, etc.) that didn't have the size breaks where you switch from tees to taps (olets specifically, Revit spuds). This weakness prevents one from creating a single routing rule that covers the full range of fittings used in a piping specification. I feel this is a great weakness in Revit and am surprised because the code to support both is already in the software. This missing functionality is in place in Fabrication and many other mechanical design software systems currently available.

It's such a basic, but vital, thing required to define the basic geometry of a mechanical system. You need to fully cover all the corners and branches first, then focus on the more detailed parts of the design. It would make the product more user-friendly, much easier to support and help maintain design consistency.
