Nice model William! Does the image represent the entirety of your project?

Have you looked at the revit catalogs provided by Victaulic or other manufacturers? It seems there is more content out there, but definitely not out of the box.

that is one portion, a lot more to it all XXS CS for high pressure steam so a lot of large flanges etc.

I would be very cautious of manufacturers providing content like that, a lot of time they break down (from my personal experience)

fittings are not terrible though and you can fairly easily modify out of the box fittings

main issue with the fittings from companies is they were built pre 2013 release. 2014 they changed the way the .csv lookup table worked and it became nested in teh family..autodesk claims it looks in the lookuptable specified to your settings but I have found it does not so you have to load every csv into the family...even then i still have a lot of break downs with old fittings
