Hi guys!

i never really used piping up to now, (except for some testing without success) but the time has come that i need it and i am not even able to start with it.

when i draw a line i only see the line without seeing the pipe and each time i make a curve i get a error message saying that there are no compatible fititngs.

i guess it is like this because i havn't set up a pipe type.

so in the browser i selected pipes, pipetypes rightclick on standard , duplicate and tried to change its settings. but even with that it doesnt work. i can only make the first line and after that line i can click how much i want and nothing happens.

what i would need is to draw a simple piping without flanges or anything like that. just a tube with curves Tees reductions where needed etc.

any help appreciated..

thanks

You need to load the connections you need.  Also change your view display from coarse to medium or fine to see more than just a line.
