hollister design Studio Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Given that irrigation plans are generally not a literal representation of the layout and therefor fittings are unnecessary. But ...sometimes I like to draw out a manifold. ...or provide a rough fitting count for cost estimates. Is this a schedule option? 1 Quote Link to comment
Piotr Karczewski Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 HI, I'm thinking about the same thing for a while.... ... creating those fittings for manual or better automatic insertion to the irrigation components... is it possible to DIY? @JuanP any road plan for this? Quote Link to comment
bob cleaver Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I would assume you would have to create symbols for each ell or t, place them on the drawing - if the symbol is placed in a class by size (3/4", 1") then a worksheet can count the symbols by size - tedious stuff - the symbols need to be distinctive (colors and unique graphics) or they will be lost - not sure if you can ever get 100% accuracy on a 2D drawing placing all the ells and ts on a system - 1 Quote Link to comment

If you like drawing manifolds, that’s a great exercise to handle with a detail 🙂. You aren’t seeing much value at 1/8 or 1/4 scale. Fittings for cost estimates? Maybe useful if you are doing residential design and a DIY client needs a shopping list. Pretty much wasted effort compared to modern formula based methods of estimation. Quote Link to comment

I want to create a library of symbols for DYI irrigation projects. 1 Quote Link to comment
