Filleting Pipe intersections?

[HPGarcia70]

Hey Everyone,

I'm currently working on a project where the engineers want to show radius at the elbows (2.5 x the pipe diameter). Can this be done for pipe networks? 

Thanks

Yes but it is not easy.

You can create structure parts to mimic the elbow but this is advanced and we all know the part builder is not that easy to use.

I advise considering a block which details this in plan/section/ profile instead. You could also create a 3d object to display this in the model again as a block.

You would do this using the style but may have to play with the pipe connection location in 3d to get it to look correct.

If you search for part builder on the web you'll find some tutorials detailing how to create a part in partbuilder.
