When you upgrade a piping project from a previous version of Revit, you may need to specify the material for existing pipe segments. Follow the steps below for each pipe type in your project. When all pipe types have been updated, you will need to reapply the pipe type to the existing piping in your project.
Note: Since pipe fittings do not have materials associated with them, they will have a different look from pipe segments.
Important: When you reapply the pipe type, be sure to review your design for other changes that may have occurred.
