Pipe snap to node center & 3D conduit cut to node wall

Question

Hello, 
 
 is it possible to snap conduit to center of node and have 3D conduit visualization cut to node wall? 
 I am working on OpenRoads Release 2 Update 8 - 10.08.01.33

Not at the moment - there is an enhancement logged for this.

Pawel, to accomplish this currently, I have seen two approaches the first is to just shrink the connection region until it has a smaller width than the needed tolerance, 0.001' for example. As long as it is still a shape the software seems to respect that and trim the conduit. That doesn't quite satisfy my inner engineer, so for nodes that I always want centered, I create the connection region offset with one side centered. That method is outlined here if you want to take a look. Both of these do require some level of control over your configuration as you will need to be able to modify the Cell file. 
 Hope that helps. 
 Steve
