Normalize the direction of conduits in a run

16 votes

Add a tool to normalize the direction (start and end) of all conduits and all bends (Nose and tails) of a selected run or runs.

The tool could ask the user to pick a conduit or conduits, then a start point or direction (similar to the place coupling or place hanger tool).

Then the tool would switch the direction of conduits and the nose/tail of bend families.

This would simplify the optimization of conduits by making sure all families in a conduits rack are behaving the same way.
And also when inserting offsets and saddles in a rack, all the offsets will be in the same direction too.

This would go a long way to fixing Revit's inherent problem with conduit due to Autodesk's decision to simply duplicate their pipe related tools as the basis of their conduit. Currently, depending on the knowledge and skill of the modelers, it isn't uncommon for conduit to break when optimized, or when assemblies are made.
