Routing Rotation

Routing Rotation

Routing Rotation

(OP)
I have been trying for hours to complete a simple route with a 5" DIN Shed 40 set of components.

Can someone please have a go at this and tell me how simple it is to achieve.

Horizontal pipe, 90 elbow rotated down 45, 45 elbow, Pipe horizonal,
90 elbow down, Pipe Horizontal, 90 elbow followed by pipe again.

I manage to rotate the first 90 45 degrees but then get a message saying the elbows will have to be non standard.

What am I doing wrong.

Please help.

 

RE: Routing Rotation

Xtract - You have to have a small "stub" piece between elbows. They are ID in ID out. You need a connector between the 2 elbows.

Thanks ArtL I'll see if I can work it out with the connector!!

Hi ArtL

Even if I only have the first piece of pipe and a 90 elbow and then try and rotate it down 45 I come up against the same problem.

(I have actually been using a 'stub' of a 1mm or so to enable two elbows to join)

Hi ArtL

Thank you it seems it was the issue of the stub. Very grateful to you.
