Known Limitations

• Slope and end elevation parameters are not updated on pipes, ducts, cable trays when they are made rectilinear with this app. WORKAROUND: Nudge back and forths, or cut and paste-aligned the affected element and the slope parameter will update. To make a sloped pipe horizontal, it may be better to set its slope to 0 through Revit’s user interface.
• Units shown in dialog box are in decimal feet, Revit’s internal format.
