How to draw vertical bends in pressure pipes

How is that done? I need to modify an existing FM bt adding fitting the bring the invert up? I assumed i could use the front view but the glyph still thinks im in plan view.

Thank you

Hope this helps clarify

 

 

When you draw the pressure pipe in plan the "glyph" that controls the pipe angle is perpendicular to the z plane.

when I changed the model space view to front view or ortho the "glyph" did not change, but if you press the letter "P" key the glyph toggles to the orientation required to draw the pressure pipe in a different plane

Glyph after toggle. keep pressing P to get the plane you want to draw in

Joe:

 

There is no Z plane, perhaps parallel to the Z axis would be more appropriate.

sounds good and I have seen it work before but I can't do it.

I am in the command to draw a pressure pipe network with Pipes & fittings and see the glyph in plan view perpendicular to the Z axis. I press p... p appears in the command line but nothing happens. If I hit p and enter.... "Point or option keyword required" appears in the next line of the command line.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Your screencast, pressure pipe glyph, is ready for viewing.
