Hi Jeremy,
I have a single pipe, suppose pipe lenght is some 5000mm, i have to divede that pipe exactly at 1000mm, and i have to insert coupling over there.
To inset coupling it needs 2 connectors. I am trying with the below code. If i have 2 parallel pipes then its adding coupling over.
I have just edited your code, as you suggested and shared in previous link.
Could you please guide me how to do the same over single pipe. And i have to divide the pipe exactly at 1000mm.
