Hot (induction) bends

[BentleyGuy]

Here is one for ya! LOL! Clients doesn't want to use components such as long radius elbows and small pieces of pipe he wants to do Hot Induction Bends. We can make it look to what he wants, but the connection shows on the drawings. The lead man doesn't want to see that! He said there has to be a way to show one pipe with bends. Autoplant doesn't have to be used and I tried using the REVSURF in ACAD, but I just am not getting it. Any ideas or info would be great!

Thanks!

Isn't there a bent pipe module? I am at home now so I can't be for certain.

Try under the Pipe Components menu .. there are 2 options

1. Pipe Bend (enter bend radius and length of straights)
2. Pulled Pipe (pick centrelines and enter bend radius)

either one of these draws a bend with straights as 1 component

The Pulled Pipe is what I needed! Great guys thanks! The boss man and lead man are really happy...which makes me happy! LOL!

Great work!
