Isometric Plumbing layout

[ChiefChris]

wow - i've yet to be asked for an isometric riser. currently i do everything on a plan page with a plumbing layoutset...all with CAD lines and text. the same way the plumber would with his colored pencils.

about that thread Lew - those drawing look nice - the issue I think with them is that a riser diagram may give information on how the flow of venting and draining would theoretically run - once in the field - the plumber rarely follows the diagram....even if he did it from the beginning. (in my experience).

Thanks

Those diagrams seem to be what the building dept's want ?

I would prefer to have a graphical approach, preferably in 3D.

Lew - do you mean the 3D's or Iso's? I have never had a building department ask for anything in 3D or Isometric projections.

All of my plumbing and HVAC are done in 2D with CAD....even more so - they look at the notation more so than the lines themselves...they see noted vent and trap sizes as more important than how/where the lines run throughout the house.
