In sewer installations 90deg elbows are avoided. Instead we use 2x 135deg. It would be nice to have such an option in the "Connect" interface. Also maybe in the "Plumbing Autofitting Preferences".
It might look like a small detail, certainly in the 3D model. But once we want to start creating partlists from the model it is important to have the correct amount of accessories.
| How frequently will feature be used? | Once a week |
| How much time will you save? | A couple of minutes for each such connection. Now I often add those manually but it's not very userfriendly. Certainly not in combination with sloped pipes. |
And for our competitor "R" they use also images for the users to make sure the user select the right elbow.
Hello programmers, It'is important if you can select male of female connections, so users can choose male-female 45 degrees elbow or female-female elbow or male-male. Because sellers use their own productnumbers, and if users can put this in the database, users create partlists with 100% reliable information. So lists can be send directly to resellers for price indications or for orders.
See attached example. Two pipes with default elbow (90deg) could automatically be generated by OBD.
However the necessity is to have 2x 135deg bent that are connected directly to eachother. Like the attached image. I coloured them both in a different shade of green to show it more clearly. In this kind of connections it's important NOT to have a piece of pipe between both elbows.
Can be a lot of different types of connections of course. This case its "male-male" where the connection between both elbows is welded. In sewer applications this can be "male-female" as well, see second attachment (with green and blue).
Hi Johan, Thank you for this good idea. It would be helpful if you could provide us with some images of manufacturer data. We want to understand what exactly you are asking for.
A good idea, because if I design sewer, you need to do this a lot of time. So more then once a week. Several times a day. So when you a big project, you will use this more frequently.
