Question

Controlling pipe orientation?

How can I control the orientation of my pipes (both spec / non-spec)? When I route a line, e.g. through a datum point array, the pipeline seems to rotate by 90 degrees at some (but not all?) bends.

This is annoying for placement of fittings and disrupts rectangular pipelines 😞

Does anyone know how to keep the pipe in one orientation or rotate it after routing?

first you need to delete all the fittings like bends etc. for the segments which you need to change .

then you need replace the appropriate segment, in this ways you can rotate the required segments without rotating all the segments.

But how can i rotate a single segment in a pipeline?

If i try to build the pipeline from unattatched segments the corners aren't mitered. If I route in one go it keeps rotating.

I think I misunderstood in previous post, Your rectangular pipe lines are getting roated 90deg while you r routing? is that your problem? I have not done rectangular piping yet. I think you need to case log.
