This will have several parts that are spec driven which will help model to actual dimensions of manufactured pipe. Especially when it comes to concentric and eccentric reducers and bend radius options etc..&nbsp;</P> Tue, 27 Dec 2022 15:35:35 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/3d-model-of-pipeline-variable-and-bended-section-together-with/m-p/11643675#M46386 TheCADnoob 2022-12-27T15:35:35Z
