Flow direction
A bigger update deserves a dedicated post – two posts actually. This 1.07 update is not big considering the additional features or new valve types. Matter of fact: there is no new valve script available in this version. But there […]

Parametric Valves
The title of this post is a bit confusing. All the valves in my Python Valve app was already parametric. I have not made anything from AutoCad blocks or worse from a step files. I have made all valves in […]
Elevation of cable trays
I have to admit first that I have made a mistake. Not a big one, but it is still a mistake. This is the typical over-engineering issue, I guess. So, one of my clients had an issue with the elevation […]

Python Pipe Support
Creating pipe support that is perfectly matches our own standard is not easy in Plant3D despite big efforts made by Autodesk. They have a bunch of pipe supports that you can modify parametrically. You can stretch them; you can turn […]

Although I do my best to cover all possible cable tray items with my app, every now and then it is possible that real life will challenge you with some pieces which are not there in my app yet. But […]
