How to edit MEP ductwork?

Hi,

 

I'm completely new to Archicad, I'm using 26 and just would like to learn it.

 

I'd like to draw a simple duct system using the MEP modeling tools, and although I can use the MEP route planner to "start routing" and "finish routing", my problem is how do I edit those ducts afterwards? When I try to select a node to move it always selects the whole thing. Even when I ungroup the pipe, then I just select a segment, but won't be able to adjust the nodes within that segment.

 

I tried to follow this: https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/28/INT/_AC28_Help/085_MEPDesigner/085_MEPDesigner-1.htm

 

But nothing seems to work like this article describes.

I applied the MEP profile as described by the help page above: Options > Work Environment > Apply Profile > MEP Engineering Profile

It didn't help.

 

When I select those pipes what I created with the routing dialog ( "start routing" / "finish routing"), I don't see any of those actions (move node, insert new node) in the hovering toolbar. So for example, I don't see this, only the actions in the line below it:

Also, the Enter System edit mode menu is disabled.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong. What do I do wrong?

Thank you so much!
