1175 doesn't show up in this list http://www.xtracad.com/forum/index.php/page,CIDs1.html. Is this a custom CID?
I have created a ton of parts over the years and they are CID#1175. Only a small portion shows up in revit. Is this based on the version that I created the parts with? When I recreate the parts they show up in in revit.Is there a way to update the parts without having to redo the model list?
In general, 1175 will work perfectly with the Revit environment, no matter what year of Fabrication it was created in, as long as there is no Product List. (Or, if there is an empty PL.) If there's a PL, all sizes/diameters embedded in the model are read by Revit as 0. But as soon as you empty out that PL, all the sizes come back and it connects just fine. Also, flat connectors (weld, flange) work fine too, but penetrating connectors (socket, compression) wind up being 2X deep, so you have to create a connector specifically for Revit that adjusts for that. EDIT: I misread the post above, so this post is essentially redundant. I'll leave it anyway.
Older post, but I wanted to comment on this as Autodesk decided to fix this connector setback doubling issue in CADmep 2023, but of course did not propagate the fix to earlier releases. This means that the same 1175 ITM will have different physical connector coordinates depending on the version it is being utilized in. Also meaning that any setback connectors you made at half value to alleviate this this doubling pre-2023 will suddenly become literal half setbacks post-2023.So, my remedy to this problem has been to make zero length connectors that meet connectivity requirements, and manually set the CONDEF block back to where it should be when converting geometry into initial 928s. This way no matter what version the ITM is being utilized in, the darn connector will be in the same spot, what a concept.Thanks Autodesk...
