Hello Revit experts,
I need to model the fire protection piping in my current Revit project. The tricky part is, the pipes have to maintain a subtle slope to allow for the correct drainage. Traditionally, no one takes this slope into account, however this is how the coordination problems arise. We want to get the design right the first time, and, conditions in the plenum are tight.
Has anyone modeled fire protection components? Any suggestions on how I might get a uniform slope? I figure the only way to do this is by creating sweeps along a sloped reference plan while working in elevation. I am currently using a generic pipe family member that can be stretched [aligned] to match any required length, but I do not fully understand how I need/can/should join the sticks together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
