From heads to pipe
Video coming soon — the written steps below cover everything.
The guided flow
- Start Auto Route Piping from a finished head layout.
- The guided workflow walks the decisions in order: where the riser feeds, how mains run, how branch lines pick up the heads — you steer at each stage instead of accepting a black-box result.
- Generate the routing and review it stage by stage.
Editing the result
- Grab and move branch lines; connected piping follows.
- Continue a route from any pipe end, and reroute sections the field will hate before the field sees them.
- Pipes grow from their ends as you draw — the drafting feel is the point, not a menu maze.
Layout quality in = routing quality out: even branch spacing and aligned heads (lessons B2–B4) give the router straight, obvious runs — the same thing a human designer wants.
