Working in Revit 2015 Update release 4. Trying to connect a sanitary line between 2 sinks. The first jpeg (no slope) depicts the sinks connected w/ no slope and there is no problem. 2nd jpeg (one side sloped) depicts one of the sinks sanitary line sloped 1/8 plf to the main and still no problem. But the 3rd jpeg (two sides sloped) both lines at 1/8 plf, it will not connect to the tee fitting and I get an error message. Anybody know how to fix this? Both sinks are equal distance from the main sanitary so elevation is not the problem.

I would assume it is a problem with the connection family not being able to create the segment at that angle on both sides.  If you change the angle on ONE of them to more of a slope or less do you still get the same error?

Yes and no, I tried 2 different ways. I switched my slope to 1/2" plf. I then connect one side to the main and no problem. But if I connect the other side I get the same error message (jpeg one half slope part 2) "The resulting angle......." But if I pull up the main sanitary above the connection points and then connect both lines (jpeg one half slope) I get a different error message. So in short, for the most part I can connect any line at whatever slope no problem. The fitting adusts to the slope. But when I connect with another line (mirrored from the other side) the new 'tee' fitting will not accommodate the 2nd lines slope. It retains the first line.
