Create a USEFUL Cleanout Fitting in Revit

[@mikemccall169]

Great stuff! Would like to see more on custom fittings/fixtures.

I will keep them coming as I think of them! If you have specific requests let me know.

@@mep_guy I would like to see adjustable stops on fixtures with connection options up or down to supply piping. Down for more residential type structures. Need a washer box fixture and a refrigerator valve box

@@mikemccall169 Those are both great video ideas. I'll keep take a note and hopefully get those out within the next month or two. For the stops can you send me an email of what you're looking for. A simple photo of a pencil/pen sketch would be great.

great tip! looks like non-host workplane based can also do the trick

[@ningzhou8397]

did quick test, even better using non-host w/ shared and maintain annotation orientation, no need of work plane-based, you can simply place that annotation family on ref level, basically get rid of all host-based, in fact, i only use face based for automatically cut void

Good to know. I'll make sure to try that

Great video. I wish Revit made it easier to make fittings like this, but I guess there is a method to their madness. I’ve spent many hours going through these steps to create fittings like this, and it’s very annoying when things don’t show up after you create them.

Yea totally agree. I don't think they paid too much attention to how they built some of these things for piping. I have a feeling they might update some of this stuff in the future but for now we just have to deal with it.

@@mep_guy it’s always felt to me that piping is the red headed stepchild of Revit.
