No-Hub Figure 8 that works in Revit?
« on: Feb 06, 2018, 15:45:27 PM »
Can anyone point me in the direction of an .itm for a No-Hub Figure 8 that works in Fab Parts? The CID for our current .itm is 928 and is working fine in CAD. Thanks for any help with this!

tried this and wasn't able to change the system properties and material properties to piping/cast iron. Someone told me this might be because 1175 is for HVAC? is there another CID that might work for pipe?

really appreciate the help!

For some reason pipe wasn't in the list of options. Other fittings in my database have the option for pipe/cast iron but not this one. any idea why that is?

I feel like you are giving up too easy. It works for pipework and ductwork. Change the option in the image below, save/close the new item. Come back into it and the Specifications for pipework will be listed.

David, thank you for the help! the library was my problem. Sorry I didn't catch it sooner I'm still very new to database management. Thanks for your replies everything is working beautifully now!
