pipes without using routing

[Loutenr1]

Hello, everyone. for a pneumatic circuit I am using the sweep instead of routing, it seems to me to do a little earlier. How can I make the spline in the entrance and exit points always normal on the floor, where there will be the circle to create the sweep, for a stretch I decide?
I hope you understand:redface:, I mean where there are arrows
thanks to all

you can simply make a straight line segment that "comes" from the connection and from there start then with the spline.. clearly within the same sketch of the sweep path.

perfect, but I have some problems creating the plan inside the piece so that it is normal to it

You don't need any plan, just create a 3d sketch with the terminal segments perpendicular to the tube you have to stick to.

It's just that I messed up in the right connection that's not aligned to anything. I solved by creating the 3d sketch and making a first segment between two circles inside the fitting so as to have the normal direction. then I created the 2 segments and joined them to the spline specifying "tangence".
thanks to all:wink:

I don't think so. with piping insert the fittings, click the type of pipe, automatic path and ok. explain how you can do it before?

In fact. also because it is difficult to always have two fittings lying on the same floor; in these cases you always go sketch 3d.

making a first segment between two circles inside the fitting so you have the normal direction.

more quickly enough to give a relationship of perpendicularity with the starting plan.

However, the important thing is to achieve the goal:finger:

You are so right!:biggrin:
but you should already have beautiful and ready all your bookstores. . However, because of the fittings it has inserted them (if not even specially shaped), it could save them in the library and take them from there with routing :smile:

apart from routing I never used it:biggrin:, so I should have learned it first. then the automatic path with what criterion is generated? I mean, the pipes are different and they obviously don't have to cross. the fittings I took beautiful that made from the sites of the various producers. If you tell me it's better, I'll learn routing.

to use it well you have to create a supplied library and that is the big one of the work. done that is definitely faster.
for automatic routes:

if you use rigid tubes choose the priority of direction and swx proposes to each clik various solutions (always changeable as you want)
if you use flexible pipes joins you with a spline on 3d sketch, in my opinion quite reliable.
