Revit Based HydraCAD (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Spacing and Layout

Description:

Welded and Grooved POLs look strange when modeled in Metric units, and their dynamic lengths are reported incorrectly.

Solutions:

Cause:

The Spacing and Layout tool is building the fitting incorrectly. The POLs connecting the fittings to the lines being modeled incorrectly can also cause lengths being reported by dynamic tags to be wrong.
Solution:

Select the sprinkler, press Edit Type, and inside the Type Properties, temporarily change the Nominal Diameter to 12.7.

This will cause it to be correctly modeled, then you can change the Nominal Diameter back to the desired value.

This fix should only be necessary Once per Sprinkler Type per Project
