0 Assembly Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 The tool I've shown provides me enough info to ensure I have the space I need to get plumbing to work in a house. That is what i think is the most important thing I need to do as an architect. Personally I would not model all the pipe junctions in a project. It would be way too time consuming. It might be good to get a schedule of fittings from a fille. But VW worksheets interface need a LOT of work. Way to slow and risk prone to typo errors in search fields befor I could rely on the info in a contract. For those who want BIM for measures and scheduling I'd say take a look at Revit. I think you will find they already have pipe tools like this. It took me about 4 days to write my tool. With plumbing and drainage in every house, There is no excuse for VW not to have a basic functioning 3D pipe tool in the architect version. Quote Link to comment
0 digitalcarbon Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 we should have levels of development LOD100, LOD200 etc, based tools start with yours then the others i would be happy use your tool for rough in/ place holder stuff Quote Link to comment
0 Bryan G. Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Justin, I like your tool for its functionality in portraying 3D pipes. I really like the invert labeling. This would be a great tool to use for drainage and site modeling. Why VW does not have this is a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment
