Create datagroup for elbows wih male-male/male-female connections

There are a lot of elbows and tees with wire connections. And when modifying an existing datagroup, OBD has a limitation in creating these fittings. And Revit can do all fittings, and also with the right image and dimensions. When will OBD do this, because I think 10 years ago, asking for help with this issue! AecoSim was also not ready to do this

How frequently will feature be used? Several times a day
How much time will you save? A LOT of time, because you design in realtime with the correct data!

    I have create new catalog, modifying delivered catalog. Also change the XML files.

    But when design a new pipe, OBD doesn't choose the right elbow, and when I want to change it with the right catalog name

    1. The catalog Name is not selected

    2. I must choose the right catalog name

    3. The type of the elbow doesn't appear, so first I have to choose "Collumn Chooser"

    4. Adjust the collumn, and I can read what I can choose.

    To much steps to choose the right elbow.

    I have create a movie. So please see the steps I have to do to have the right elbows.

    Because I want to have the right schedules to make the right order and also the right length of the pipe to create prefab.

    I can also send you the XML and MDB file.
