piping tool needed

[digitalcarbon]

we need a piping tool.

the tool needs to be able to move the entire length of pipe and not become disconnected at all the joints.

need the ability to put a pitch in the pipes entire length also.

the attached pic was in an add i found. i think it was for Revit.

if we use that picture as an example, then if we wanted to move a pipe we would just grab it and move it (like sketch up) and none of the connections would disconnect. like the way the wall tool works in plan.

more pipe tool requests

[digitalcarbon]

also, the "pipe" tool should be able to things like rebar.

see pic

after a cage is modeled then we should be able to select it and have a worksheet tell us what the totals are.

example:

#4 bar 527ft

#5 bar 642ft

etc

this tool and the flex hose tool would work together

[digitalcarbon]

here is some more uses for the piping tool

note the different types of "pipe"

the copper stands out, but note:

electrical and conduit

all in the picture would work on the same concept

also need to get linear lengths to a spread sheet and diameter both nominal and actual.

I think this should be a good addition to the vw toolset so you have my vote.

Working on it

The next update will allow much more control of fittings and custom equipment.
