I am trying to create a detailed waste pluming circuit for a multistory building designed in VW and am having problems using the MPE Tool sets (piping runs and piping). The MPE Tools are so limiting in 3D that I am stuck. I can use the NURBS curve tool and extrude along path 3D piping runs but it is time consuming and although a nice graphical representation, I would like to be able to detail (label and dimension in 3D) the exact locations of all the piping runs pipe couplings and traps. Dose anybody have recommendations as how to best accomplish this with in VW ARCHITCT? I am using VW12.0.1 ARCHITECT. Thank you, Craig

Making a symbol and inserting it into my walls works well in my application. Thank you everybody for all the input. Craig Marshall Excavating, LLC

I am using VW12. Dose anybody have a good way to make beam pockets in walls?

Thank you for the help.

I am using Architect 12 and trying to make a work sheet that calculates volumes of walls from a design layer. The volumes in my worksheet have units attached that are related to the intire document preferences; in inch feet I get "cu ft" but I would like to present in cubic yard and cant. Dose anybody know how to change the units and keep the correct conversion?
