Round Pipe 3d fills beyond the next fitting

[713Nicolem]

Teaching myself how to use designline for drainage/ plumbing. Super new to CADmep but so far I have figured out how to get the fittings to populate....however the pipe comes in at full length (20' sticks) which goes beyond the next fitting where it should stop.  The annotation shows the proper length to the next fitting, but when 3d filling, it only comes in at 20' increments no matter what.  Making a mess to manually adjust/shorten all the pipes back to the fittings.

Please advise what I need to change...I'm the only designer here, and I'm scared to break something in the database/button mapping that I wont know how to undo.

I'm on the HVAC side of it and using ESTmep, not CADmep, but the only way I can reproduce that is to set the minimum stretch length on the pipe to something like 120" (see attached). It will not fill with anything less than what is set for the minimum stretch length. To get there to see if that's the case, right click on the relevant button, select button properties, select the itm and click the button properties button on the right, then select the options tab. If there is any value other than 0 in the Minimum Stretch Length, that will be the shortest pipe it will fill with.

If that isn't it, I'm not sure what it could be.

I played around with the minimum and maximum stretch length...to no avail. However the "fix relative" button...was checked. I unchecked it and that seemed to fix it! Pipe stops at the fittings now. Go figure.

Thanks for your input!

Fix relative being checked would definitely mess it up. That's for taps coming off perpendicular to the main run.
