Modelling Revit Pipes at a Vertical 45 Degree Angle

By Nicholas Bowley, IMAGINiT Building Solutions

Modelling pipes in Revit at a 45 degree angle is necessary for a variety of situations. Lucky for us the trick to be able to do this is easy.

Here are a few examples of when you may need to do this:

45 Pipe 1 of 6

 

45 Pipe 2 of 6

45 Pipe 3 of 6

Steps to add a slope for 45˚

1. Go to Manage / MEP Settings
45 Pipe 4 of 6

2. Find Slopes in the list of Settings and add a New Slope at 12”/12”.

45 Pipe 5 of 6 SI

3. When modelling piping, toggle the 12”/12” slope as necessary.

45 Pipe 6 of 6

Now you will have the new slope to choose from while modeling pipe. In addition to ease of use, adding a new angle helps reduce the risk that the pipe will be drawn on an angle slightly less or more than intended.
