Hello
I am modifying some pipes, and I have come to a place where I need join two pipes with an elbow, but I can't figure out how!

I'm run into this before and ususally end up just faking it,but there has to be a way.

I have attached a picture of what I"m talking about.

they are at the same elevation, there has to be a way to do this.

thanks!

or In vault etc?..

Well, I guess I just use the library that came with MEP, not sure what in vault is, so I probably don't use it lol

Back one of the pipe's off a few inches, or even a few feet if needed. Then run the other pipe right into the end of the moved one, and they will connect.

My guess is you'll need to add the "elbow" part to you pipe sequence...
it looks like you have an elbow up and to the right... correct?

Click one of the pipe's plus grip and snap to another one, that will be connected.
