New to AECOsim and I am in discussion for training but in the meantime I am feeling my way thru.
I feel like there should be an easier way. I have two pipe lines that are suppose to intersect, but when I go to place the four way connection, the symbol only lets me insert by one connection, so then I move along the line to the correct spot, then I need to rotate for the line that I placed it on, than rotate for the second line, then break both lines and connect all 4 pipes. I am sure their should be an easier way than all the CAD efforts I am doing.
Training is certainly a good idea and will hopefully help you to utilize the tools and workflows to best achieve the desired end results.
sorry to say but this inserted a 3 way and then flipped the 3 way for the 4th connection, this did not place a 4 way. I tried a few times with the same bad results. I hope the training will help resolve these issues and other questions I have.
Hi Jose,
It's important to include the version being used for two primary reasons:
- Tools and tool behavior may have changed between versions
- Using the same version allows others to replicate the issue/question using that same set of tools and behavior.
In regards to your question, see if the steps outlined in the attached video help.
Very good points thank you for that information. My first question was how do I insert a part and then I was asked what version. I have seen both and insert a part is done basically the same way in both version; that is why the version question threw me off.
I am still waiting to see if there is an easier way to insert a part, than all the CAD I was doing previously (see my first question). My client is in a hold pattern now so, I am just trying to figure out some issues I ran into while I was working on the model file.
Thanks StecanC
There is a difference behind the scenes too, which makes them not always fully compatible.
Also, Connect is 64-bit vs 32-bit for V8i.
