3d Extended 90 degrees pipe

[joemaddigotz]

Thanks ReMark

 

I still have a hard time understand the real works behind the UCS.

 

I understand what it's purpose is - but my slow mathmatical brain is struggling with the concept while I start using the 3D. I understand it's almost like a CNC where 0,0 is the corner and I guess the third 0,0,0 would be a Z? Coming out at the screen... I dunno - but thank you for your reply in the thread I appreciate it.

You do have the UCS icon showing don't you?

[Tankman]

Hi

I am trying to draw an extended right angle pipe to go onto my 3d pump. I am struggling on how to go about drawing this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know all the dimensions for the drawing but i cant seem to get it on the bend.

Thanks for any help you can give!

 

Attached a little *.dwg, 2" PVC pipe w/ 90° elbow.

 

Might this be what you're lookin' for?

 

How's the windy city today?

Yes sir it is showing... the UCS Icon is there and functional. Any pointers on how to utilize it better- feel free to let me know.

Hey Tankman!

 

Thanks for the pipe - I was able to create it already on my own but I do appreciate you taking the time to post something for me to maybe use in the future.

 

The Windy City is okay - been inside most past few weeks. lol but it's here - How's the wonderful state of Pennsylvania - I used to drive truck through there...

Chilly in Pennsy today.

 

Was goin' to do a little work, bah humbug, surfin' the www and visiting cadtutor.

 

I did most of the piping and chemical storage tanks in Chicago's WWTP (waste water treatment plant) years ago.

For AutoCAD 2006 I would recommend enabling the UCS and View toolbars as they can come in quite handy when doing 3D work.

Excellent! I appreciate that tip!

 

I did have my View toolbars on so I could swap around in the 3D easier - once I realized going to the toolbar and selecting the views all the time was time-taking.

 

I also realized it would help me learn the views and icons faster by having them up front on the work area

 

I did not have the UCS Icon up - but it is now - and thank you for the knowledge. I will take any I can get - you have been VERY helpful along with everyone else and I have much gratitude to the entire CADTutor site.

 

Thanks again!

I really appreciate your thread reply along with the others - the weather was colder today this morning and it was a little damp starting from the rain last night - along with the cloudy darkened sky I am not sure what the outlook will be -

 

however I assume I will be in my house today just searching the WWW for a new job while I work on these side-drawings for some quick cash.

Now I know why you call yourself the Tankman

 

You designed the layout for the waste system of chi? or was this for a specific company? I would sure like to know more about your work - It must have been some extensive and seriously insane layout to pipe this city!!!

 

Very interested in that - give me a shout sometime... and thanks for your help and replies

Was tanks, pipe, valves for chemical storage at Chicago WWTP (wastewater treatment plant).

 

In 40+ years, lots of tanks, pipe 'n valves. Lots of work in Illinois and around the globe.

 

I usually use PVC or CPVC pipe however, depending on conditions, quite a bit of lined steel pipe too.

 

I use an add on for CAD pipe and valves. Very handy!

The add on also generates a bill of materials including weight of each item.

Oh that is great - so straight from design to invoice ----

 

very cool - yes the water treatment that sits out on Lake Michigan right?
