    Allen:


    I have used geometric cylinders before and they work fairly well but not when they need to be slanted.

    I suppose I could export to Sketckup and then slant and then import but that's way too much hassle.


    I'm hoping that someday we can plump as house "generically" like we can do now with the Electrical tools.


    We don't need be "exact" in the entire run to the basement but it would be nice to get the major "transition" points modeled in 3D

    If we could draw the "basics" as in pic1 and then have chief generate the drops to the basement as in pic2, that would be nice

    These pics were for my own bath remodeling project and my first attemps at illustrating the plumbing this way.

    We have since abandoned this approach for now as too time-consuming and use the generic riser diagrams as posted earlier in this thread.
