Fitting for sue conduits (Box to cirkel)

Question

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how I would be able to create a fitting or joint in SUE, where a square conduit connects with a cirkel conduit. Both are placed by center, but I can't get my head around how I would create the cell for the node, in order to make a fluent transition between the two.

Its nice to get a real reply instead of being send to a tutorial site teaching me how to create a custom cells. 
 
 I just can&rsquo;t get my head around why &ldquo;fittings&rdquo; are created by magic when pulling utilities by graphic between two conduits, of the same shape. But this fitting is not something I can insert if I would like to have different elevations along a conduit. I know it&rsquo;s maybe not something that would be useful for water utilities, but my optic fiber ducts kind of needs it. 
 
 Creating a &ldquo;fitting&rdquo; option, where we could create a cell that would allow me to combine two different shapes and pipe sizes would make my day. But as long as SUE insist on connecting to the invert elevation no matter what placement rule you give the conduit (center, soffit or bottom) I&rsquo;m SOOL. 
 
 Im using SUE for this project , but the amount of crashes and bugs are forcing me to look at alternative software for my 3D conduit modelling. It&rsquo;s a shame though, since it shows so much potential. 
 
 Maybe my PC is just set up wrongly, or ProjectWise is making the software crash.

Hi Jan, 
 If you haven't, please take a look at the link below regarding how to create custom cells for drainage nodes.
