Does anyone know if there is a way to set a minimum pipe length in Revit MEP 2012? It appears that the smallest pipe you can create is 13/128" in length. I would like to know if there is a way to increase or decrease this value.
Thanks.

I'm baffled as to why you would want to create a pipe that is 13/128" long. Aside from that, you can manually type in the length to be more accurate, for what it's worth.
If you're aiming to increase or decrease this minimum size, I don't believe there is any way to accomplish that.
I believe that has to do with how close/far you're zoomed in.
That's a different error entirely: "Line is too short" vs. "Element is too small on screen"
Side note: With the latter, it is based on the proximity of the mouse cursor from the point of origin. As long as the error icon displays beside the cursor, you could manually input 100' and it would still give you the error message. However, if you move the cursor away from the origin point before inputting a distance, you can input any distance without receiving the error, although you may get the first error if the line is too short. A small bug...
Thanks for the replys. The reason I want to be able to set a minimum length of pipe is because currently Revit will allow us to make pipe offsets that are not realistic. By setting a minimum pipe length, to say something like 1.5", we would avoid designing something that can't be built.
