You can start from a connector (like a chiller) or from thin air.
The service defaults to "Victaulic" but you want threaded. Fix:
The power of Fabrication CADmep lies in its approach. Unlike standard AutoCAD, you don't just draw lines; you select a specific service (e.g., "Low Pressure Supply Duct" or "Hydronic Heating") which carries predefined rules for materials, connectors, and supports.
Are you still manually redrawing Revit models for fabrication? Streamline your shop drawings with the Revit to CADmep export Map with Precision Store Design Line Elements

A "Spool" is a pre-fabricated sub-assembly. You weld or glue pieces together in the shop, then ship them to the site. CADmep excels at this.
If a fitting needs a custom length or angle, this command allows you to change dimensions on the fly while maintaining the connectivity of the system. 4. Spooling and Fabrication Output
