For the amusement of the group, here's a screenshot of what I came up with for a pivot-handled needle valve, using the above suggestions. This is still CID 868. I used the round handle with two struts but I set the shaft 1 thickness to .00001 so it's basically invisible. Then I set the strut diameter to .4, and the shaft 2 thickness to .5. Shaft 2 is set to .25" longer than shaft 1.
Because the struts point "across" the body of the valve when there's only two of them, I had to work with connectors 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 to get the new "handle" to line up with the flow direction, but that was really the only catch.
It winds up looking pretty slick. Thanks all.

PipeFitter72 and cnash - these are some great ideas, thanks!! I just wish there was some way of natively getting that dumb handle to center up if I need a pivot handle.

Use CID 868 and use the Box Dimensions (V, W, X) to create a T-Handle.
I have some fixing to do. Thanks!

you could might do the round (wheel) handle. set it for 2 spokes. then you have the "tee" and something to indicate a clearance for rotation.

I wasn't able to find one when I was trying to do a T style handle lately but I hope someone else knows.

I'm curious if anyone has any tips or hacks for getting the handle of a valve to be centered on the stem instead of offset.
See the attached picture. This is pattern 868. Any way to get that handle (Length S) to be centered instead of all on one side of the stem?
Or maybe I'm using the wrong pattern to get what I want. I've tried 2149 but that one doesn't even have the same kind of handle. Is there another pattern that lets you center the pivot handle?
Thanks all.

My understanding is Revit 2024 and newer is not pulling some information from the mapprod (prodinfo.map) as was done in earlier versions. Can someone elaborate on this? Will the mapprod still be useful? Are we looking to abandon it in the future? Is this related to MEP Content Editor?

This is a follow up to this thread.
Fabrication 2024 has changed the way to calculate the cut size of volume damper in a boot tap. Since this version, the cut size of volume damper starts taking into the account of the liner thickness. The cut size of the damper in a boot tap is calculated in this way:
duct body size minus 2 layers of "Liner Thickness" of the liner minus "Damper Adjust" of the damper
Previously (2023 and older), the cut size of the damper in a boot tap was calculated in this way:
duct body size minus "Damper Adjust" of the damper
This means I will need to reduce the "Damper Adjust" of the damper for boot tap.
By the way, the damper cut size is determined by which version of CAMduct that we use (we only use CAMduct 2024). This has nothing to do with the version of CADmep. If we use CAMduct 2024, and CADmep 2023 and 2024, we only need one set of dampers just for CAMduct 2024.
