XYZ data

[SteveLester]

What is the best way to create a pipe/tube from xyz data?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

are those xyz points the virtual corners (bends) or ragular points along the pipe?

They represent the intersection of two lines. I think there may be a better way to use XYZ data then INSERT, ADVANCE, PIPE. Possibly a family table. I don't have the piping extension.

Thanks!

Steve,

I use the offset coordinate sytem datum point tool to enter the xyz numbers.

Start the tool select a coord sys point.

Click in the lower box to make your points.

Change the values.

Then I go to insert / advanced / pipe and follow the prompts.

Not sure if it is the best , but it works for me.

Let me know if you need anything further.

Later
