I am sure this has been asked but can't word my search right to find the answer.

Doing a google search and finding the Revit help example it appears to me that Conduit Run Lengths can only be achieved with Conduit without fittings only?

Is this correct?

thanks

I don't see anything about the fittings but I see that the legth is only calculated in x,y,z dimensions without diagionals or arcs.

The length is along the X, Y, Z axes is 7' 0" + 7' 1 7/8" + 2' 6" (z difference) = 16' 7 7/8" and the computed length shown in the circuit properties is 16' 6 13/256".

Oops ... I see I did wire length.   That may be what you really want.  The coduit length would only be for tghe conduits .... the connectors are not conduits.

there are two types of conduit system families, "Conduit with Fittings" and "Conduit without Fittings", when scheduling the length, length only seems to work with Conduit without fittings.  Both runs have fitting but Conduit without Fittings will schedule the length while the other will not. 

I am curious to know why.

I found this solution but after looking carfully at the end, last image it is conduit without fittings.

what is the difference between the two, why will one schedule length and the other will not?
