Construct pipes with the selected material and dimensions. The pipe is inserted at the height of the construction level. The height reference (top, center, bottom) is taken into account.

If you continue to construct on an existing pipe, the dimension of the existing the pipe is adopted, regardless of the diameter you have selected in the Pipes section. If you do not want to apply the dimension of the existing the pipe, deactivate the Apply dimension button in the Revit ribbon. The dimension transfer does not work for section views.
