I'm trying to route a sanitary branch off an existing main but none of the auto routing solutions are acceptable. If I try to draw straight from the sloped main, the piping rises to whatever offset is selected. Since the pipe is sloped, it's difficult to tell the exact height at the desired connection point. I can get away with eyeballing heights in section views but this is time consuming. It's getting a bit exasperating. Any suggestions?
We've decided that those auto routing solutions will probably never work for what you need, so we probably will never use them. It seems only good for small area, text book situations. At the most. It never really looked like any plumbing system anyway.
Can't you draw it from the point of connection backwards to the source, rather than direction of flow? Set your slope in the positive, rather than negative. So really you'd be drawing rising 1/8" per foot, instead of dropping
That's what I'm doing. Drawing straight from the poc, the pipe jumps to the offset value. I've been taking the results from the first stab to make a guess at an offset that will look better.
Can you use snap override, nearest, to get to that pipe elevation and set the slope you want to use. In my first week of using this, I am drawing it w/o slope.
