Aamir77 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Folks! Want to make sewage path. Made the PVC lines with polyline solid cylinder tool but unable to make a cylinder 90* bend. Please HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Probably better to use Molding Polyline with a circle Molding applied (there are some round handrails that would work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aamir77 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Tried to convert to simple Molding Polyline in a new plan but failed to achieve the exact cylindrical shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitchenAbode Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Looks to me like a job for a 3D molding polyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what I used, thought the OP had trouble with it so provided sample. Should have mentioned- in elevation draw lines for "L", fillet corner, convert to 3D molding line-go on from there. I find 3D molding lines to at times be quirky so when I can I draw in elevation as lines first-one extra step. Convert to symbol since that is easier to reuse and alter lengths IMO.

Yes, I have found that when initially drawing the 3D molding poly line it is critical to decide the best view to start with, plan or a specific elevation. What seems to work best is to draw the first line in the same view as most of the other lines are going to be drawn/manipulated in. What I have also found interesting is that when trying to insert say a break to change direction is that it is usually best to use the same view type as that which was used when drawing the first line, you can then flip back to another view type to then manipulate it if need be.
