    Creating Pipe Saddles

    I was trying to create a pipe saddle for fibreglass piping. I thought the easiest way was to modify an olet so that one end is BELL and the other is something. I was going to chance it to BELL but that did not seem right.

     

    What should my end types be so that it connects to the pipe.

    Whatever you want it to be in the Project Configuration. Add your end types in the Joint Settings dialog box.

    The BELL endtype is intended for bell and spigot connections so the connection/joint rules in Plant 3D wouldn't make the connection properly.

     

    Is this part for a pipe saddle, as in a support? Or something similar to a reinforcing saddle?
