Revit Based HydraCAD (Ribbon/Toolbar/Location)

Button: Spacing and Layout Function: Insert Sprinklers Error Type: Command Failure for External Command

Description:

Revit could not complete the external command... Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.

Solutions:

Cause:

An imported sprinkler family has a poorly defined System Classification in the family Connector Element which prevents the sprinkler from connecting to a fitting. This error was also encountered while using the Insert All Pipes option
Solution:

Open the family in the family editor and change the System Classification to Global. Once finished, then load the edited family into the project.
