Radiant Heat Piping!?

Who has experience drawing radiant heating loops?

 

I have created a style, assigned a layer key, no problem.

 

What I am having trouble with is what is the best way to depict a continuous 1/2" flexible tube that bends to a 4" radius.  I have tried numerous routing preferences without scuccess.

 

Drawing simple polylines and then filleting them makes it difficult to edit the runs.

 

I am sure there is a good way to accomplish this within the software.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You can try a custom fitting if you don't know how to create a parametric one.  To create a custom fitting, draw the centerline of your fitting and then on the home ribbon panel select the fitting dropdown and choose pipe custom fitting.  Follow the dialog box and you should be able to create a custom fitting.  An alternative method would be to create one from scratch and insert it into your routing preferences.  The process is to long to describe here.  Plenty of tutorials at Autodesk Univeristy.
