This morning, I was able to obtain a result that I prefer, with symbolic lines in the trap family and no generic annotations. I am thankful for this video because I learned and now I have a trap that will be able to be shown in floor plan as my currently engineering firm likes to.
Hmmm it might be better. I've never thought about that. I just used face based because that's how I learned the trick. If the file size is smaller without a face hosted object then it might be better.
I’m trying to do this in AutoCad MEP and haven’t had any luck so far. I wish my company made the initiative to move to Revit, there’s so many more resources to learn that vs ACAD MEP.

Awesome MEP family building. This is advanced.
the problem I have is that anytime i switch an elbow to the p-trap, the symbol no longer shows up
just wonder if using non-host workplane based is better than using face based, non-host workplane based can also host on face

I followed the instructions but it did not work. Any tips on what I probably missed?
There are a lot of things that could be going wrong. Making this work is one of the toughest things to do in Revit.

Yea I understand. You could always move companies.
Very helpful. Thanks.
You're very welcome!
