Derived Geometry from Tube & Pipe?

Hi,

 

When using Tube and Pipe we create a Piping Assembly that is relative to 0,0,0 and then placed into a main overall assembly with structural steel, controls etc, then ground and rooted. We also have to create a pipe support assembly, also to be placed in the above main overall assembly. We found a way of deriving the 3D sketch geometry (albeit time consuming with many routes) created by routing in T&P into a .ipt along with the skeletal geometry for the steel work. This .ipt then forms the base skeletal sketch for modeling the pipe supports.

 

What I'd like is some confirmation from anyone who may have done this (or something similar) that using the T&P geometry will provide a stable skeletal model for the pipe supports, and won't fall apart for some reason later on!

 

TIA

 

Graham
