Pattern a hose route in opposite directions.

I have made a hose route and then patterned it to the right 12 places. I have another cylinder set to the left of this that I need to pattern to the left 15 places. When I do my first route it patterns it to the right 12 places. It seems from searching I may need to use a secondary route under the master? First time routing hoses if you didn't catch that.

Hi! I don't think there is a workflow in Tube&Pipe to do that. I believe you will need to create construction geometry in 3D Sketch to help creating the mirrored side route.

Many thanks!

@Agostini60

Welcome to the tube and pipe club. Don’t forget the tea, coffee or beverage of choice ☕🫖 🥛 you may need them.

Can you provide some screen shots of the model browser and explain more of how you want to reuse the routes/runs. Screen shot images of the workflow as you progress.

If you have created the routes in separate runs you might be able to copy or pattern the runs depending on your workflow but you will need a reference plane or axis.
