Has anyone been successful in creating a rolling offset with the piping tools. using 45 degree elbows, should be fairly simple, but not cooperating. thakns

Your issue may be that the pipe routing preference you are using doesn't have any 45 elbows.

You can change the routing prefrence to use 45 degrees elbows.

OR one way around it is:

As your're drawing the pipe, in the properties box, change your slope to 45, draw a piece of pipe and then change your slope back to 0. You can then go back and adjust your elevation as neccessary.

Yes, that helps, I am used to using Bently Plant space products (much more user friendly). Thank you

I am able to use 45 degree elbows now, but is it possible to use 45 degree elbow with a 45 deg lateral in a run? or beter yet a 45 deg elbow with a 45 deg weld-o-let or take off?

Thank you again for the help!

Again, it is going to come down to what parts you have defined available in your routing preference.
