Hello again,

Has anyone had any success with designing plumbing systems that stay put?  I have re-done my plumbing design twice and about to re-do it a third time because once in a while, I go back to plumbing to adjust something, and the moment I click on something it starts to delay for about a minute or two before telling me there are 300 errors.  The "solution" offered is to delete all the erroneous fittings, or cancel the attempt to move the thing I was going to move.

So far plumbing has given me the most grief, and for the life of me I cannot figure it out.  Hopefully someone is willing to share their experience, even if it just gives me a better understanding of how to go about working out this disaster, because it does happen in HVAC and piping (though not to the extent as it does in plumbing.

Thanks again guys!

Joe

It sounds like your are trying to move a joined item.

Do you have drag and drop on?  I would suggest you turn that off so that you don't have unintentional moves.

When you want to move something that is joined and will result in moving items you don't ant to move, look at your options bar where you can turn that function off.

Hi WWHub,

Thanks again for all your replies.  My drag & drop has always been off.  Never even noticed it till now.

I have a feeling Revit has a hard time with dealing with sloped piping and ductwork.  I wish I could check off a setting called "soft connections" =)

"Just connect dammit!"  That's usually what goes through my head when doing plumbing.
