hi, 

 

What tools do I use to draw this pipes? as shown in the X17 Whats New video.

 

Is there any tutorial or how-to on this?

This is an older one that isn't taking advantage of the new gizmo they have shown:

This helps tremendously, not just piping, which lately I am being asked to provide some basic routes, but molding on a partially sloped ceiling, etc..  I never paid attention to the edit plane option before and that is a great help.  I use this function all day in the Autodesk products, so this is something I will remember to use in the future.  I do have one question for you though.  At the 4:49 time of your video, you deleted a section of the molding, but when I pick that "X", the whole line disappears.  I know if I want to delete a selected edge I pick the edge then the icon I have circled in green, but what you picked wasn't that, and three sides of your profile deleted and you were allowed to route in a different direction.  How did you do that?  This would be helpful in so many different scenarios, not just a pipe route.  I look forward to more of your wisdom.

 

Thanks in advance

Since it's been a few hours allow me to answer for Rene. He used the Disconnect Selected Edge tool to disconnect the one segment of the polyline, then selected the remaining three segments and deleted those. The tool you pointed to removes the molding from that edge, but doesn't affect the polyline segment - he wanted to completely delete the three polyline segments.

Ah.. ok.  I've only used that tool for polylines, who would have thought it could be used for other things.  Genius.  I've said this before, will say it again, learn something new everyday.

 

 

Thanks Chris...
