AU: Efficient Pipe Designs ...


That was an good class, I wish I hadn't missed it.

This class will show you how to manipulate and generate pipe parts lists and networks to efficiently design complex pipe networks using alignments, profiles, intersections, and pipes. You will see a 3-staged approach to design and output for creating a custom pipe fittings library, for generating multiple complex pipe networks and merging them together into 1 interactive network, and then moving this data to constructable plan sets. The class will contain instructions on how to add structure fittings and blocks to the existing pipe catalog and then assign styles to those fittings to represent the item graphically. We move on with a basic layout using alignments, then produce a profile of the center of our pipe. From this we will use intersections to tie the branches of our network together and then extract the feature line to create the pipe. Finally we will produce constructable documents using this data with labeling and math.
