Autocad - Pipe Drawing
(OP)
I want to generate a 3D view of a plant room but I am struggling to create pipes that have bends in them at various angles (most @ 90 deg.)

In plan view, extrude the circle about an axis of the appropriate distance away from the circle. Trim the torus as needed.

*bring up the solids toolbar
*In front view - draw a cylinder the appropriate
and length
* make a block for a 90 long radius degree ell by...
(e.g. is for 8 inch)
- draw a torus with radius=12in dia=8.625
- slice through center vertically and horizontally
- wblock (LISP command) invokes the make block function
* make additional blocks as needed for things such as 45
ells, etc.
RE: Autocad - Pipe Drawing
may be this link is interesting: www.3designersmate.com
It has a 3d-piping program in the download section.
The demo is fully functional, only limited dimensions.
Maybe you can scale the given dimensions to the wanted dimensions?
Good luck!

And now that I think about, McMaster Carr has drawings and "3D Models" of many (but not near all) of their items- worth a look. I never have checked out the 3D models to see what they really are. www.mcmaster.com.
