Description:

Inserting sprinklers using the spacing an layout tool Import Errors message box - message Autodesk.Revit.InvalidOperationsException: failed to insert transition

Solutions:

Cause:

1. Sprinkler family has been mismatched with insertion type. For example - a pendent sprinkler family is chosen but one is inserting under Upright Options tab

2. "Standard" pipe type being used

Solution:

1. Don't do that. Match pendent families to Pendent Options, upright families to Upright Options, and Sidewall families to Sidewall Options.

2. Don't use Standard for the pipe type. JB 10/31/18
