Having a problem with the SPECIFICATIONS of duct coming into Revit

March 5, 2018, 04:19 PM

Hello guys and girls. This is my first post ever.

I work for a duct fabricator/ installer and we were previously using CADmep 2015 and are converting everything to 2018 now. I am looking to use Revit 2018 to do all of our modeling going forward, using Fabrication Parts and for laying out trimble field points as well. I am having a problem though, as the specification for some of the ductwork is not coming across with the .MAJ export out of CADmep, and shows as greyed out when I import into Revit. I have attached screenshots of this for reference. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Ideally I would like to model everything in Revit from scratch, but this is an existing project and I don't want to remodel the entire thing. Thanks

I have figured out that by disconnecting the duct from each other, I am able to change the spec of individual fabrication parts one by one. It would be nice to be able to change these all at once though. Maybe by creating a new service and locking the spec for that service somehow? Although, it seems like the specification for items does not come across with the .MAJ file.
