Where the run begins: a pump, the first pipe, any fitting.
END OF THE RUN
Every end downstream
With no end, every branch downstream of the start is drawn. Pick an end for one run.
FOLLOW THROUGH
Port 1 · N1 · DN100 (upstream)
Port 2 · N2 · DN100
Untick a port of the start that should not be followed (the way back upstream, for one).

NOTES
Open the PDF after export
Open the drafting view after creating it
Draw reads the run and shows the sheet. Export PDF prints it through Revit in the title block picked (a plain page without one); Create View adds the drafting view and its sheet to the model in one undoable transaction.
