What to do when you get the 'Custom Fitting created' message with DYKA PVC Binneriolering?


Last modified on: 27. Juni 2023

Problem:

When modelling/generating elbow-solutions with the material DYKA PVC Binnenriolering, the elbow's show the 'Custom fitting is created' message.

This results in disfigured elbows (both sides don't seem to connect)


Cause:

A faulty Lookuptable is being used.


Solution:

Within Windows:

  • Download the attachment: 'bocht pvc binnenriolering mof pvc 2x45_dyka.csv'
  • Save the attachment to the desktop.
  • Copy the attachment to the (default) folder: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 202X\Lookup Tables\Pipe\
    Attention!
    This folder is normally hidden and requires write-rights.


Within Revit/Current project:

  • Give a RightMouseButton Click on the elbow family
  • Click 'Edit Family'
  • In the Properties ribbon click 'Family Types'   
  • Click 'Manage Lookup Tables'
  • Click 'Import' and select the correct .csv file 'bocht pvc binnenriolering mof pvc 2x45_dyka.csv' (Attachment)
  • Confirm the notification to overwrite the current lookup-table
  • Close the 'Manage LookUp Tables' screen with [ OK ]
  • At the top of the screen select the Type name 'bocht pvc binnenriolering mof pvc 2x45_dyka' 
  • Select the correct lookup table name in the section 'Other'
  • Save the settings with the [ Apply ] and [ OK ] buttons
  • Load the modified family into the project via 'Load into Project' or 'Load into Project and Close', (Top right in the ribbon):
  • The modified family does not need to be saved to disk
  • Choose to overwrite the existing family and its parameters

  • The elbow's in het project will be updatet.
