Edit a fabrication part in Revit to define the necessary dimensional values and component settings.
The Edit Part tool opens the Edit Part dialog. Use this dialog to edit dimensions and components for a fabrication part.
Note: You can modify only properties associated with connectors that are not connected to another part.
You can edit a part before you place it by selecting it in the MEP Fabrication Parts palette. You can also edit a part after it has been placed in the drawing area. The Edit Part tool is not available for hangers.
- Select a fabrication part.
- Click Modify | Place Fabrication Part tab
Options panel
(Edit Part).
- In most cases, you'll edit the properties on the Dimensions tab or the Components tab. For example, on the Dimensions tab, you can edit the value of the angle for a radius bend. On the Components tab, you can modify connectors, seams, airturns (for duct), or stiffeners depending on the pattern definition. The Options tab is used only for editing the number of segments for a segmented elbow.
Note: You can edit the specification for a pipe connector in the fabrication configuration to allow Revit to automatically apply a connector based on the preferred connector setting of the part that is placed. See Configure Connectors in the Autodesk Fabrication Help.

- Click OK to save the changes.
Tip: You can also double-click the fabrication part to edit it.
The preview pane displays the changes to the part as you edit it. Use the ViewCube navigation tool to change the orientation of the part in the preview pane.
