Hi, Can anyone advice where I may source the information to help calculate the volume of M&E material in a typical office block strip out?

Hi Limey, Jolly decent of you to reply. Please find diagram of type of twin walled Stainless steel ducting.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7f2e8e25-dda9-4285-9854-47598de94962&file=90.png

Hi, I need to produce a flue design and wonder if there are any part around for 500mm O/D flue parts or if anyone has a tip on how to achieve the effect of the the angular corners seen on insulated flues.

Hi Mitsu50 you make it sound so easy. But when I try things just don't line up or they refuse to move, or I don't get a merge option or there's always 'conflict' yellow and red labels appearing on the property manager. Things don't budge but there's no 'float' option. I might just give up and...

Hi Drawoh, It seems inappropriate to build an architectural model in SW. Maybe put a SW model into a Google sketchup architectural 3D model. I'm sure it would work using 3Dmax but thats too much trouble I just want a simple SU model but with the accuracy of SW engineering for the subject.

THanks Misu50 I'll have a look at that when I get a minute. I was thinking it would be be really useful if there was such a facility where forum members could 'share screen' even if there was a small charge to cover peoples time I'm sure people would pay to get over hurdles that can take a lot...

Here you go. I would be interested to know how it became disfigured. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=57f98b14-243b-4ac4-a337-797706cc2360&file=slip_on_weld_flange_error.SLDPRT

I've got it and it has no re-build errors. Thanks. Phew.

Thank you SWKennedy very much!

Thanks Misu50 your'e a gentleman. Its version 2010. Slip on flange in the routing/piping library. The funny thing is all the other sizes apart from the 12" configuration seem to work. I tried to analyse the faulty part but couldn't rebuild so thanks again.

Thank you for your reply Mitsu50. I have opened the part but am not familiar enough with the design to correct it. Is it possible to access this part and reload it?

I'm getting an Rebuild error message when attempting to Drag and drop a library image of a flange. How can the routing library be reloaded.(If that's the solution) Sorry for asking probably very simple questions.

Is there the option to integrating a SW model with an architectural environment. For example a Sketchup model. I understand you can set a SW model against a 2D photo.

How to produce a T in a route. I don't want to use T fittings and when I draw a line perpendicular to the main route it is not automatically added to the pipe route.

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