topx_meppoly
The command allows you to draw a guideline for a piping system. The guideline consists of a 3D polyline with the ability to define a radius value to identify the bends between straight segments.
The usage is very simple: you are asked to insert the first and second points of the path; from the third point, you can define the radius of the connecting curve that is being defined.
The guiding path is drawn and stored in the DWG file as a normal 3D polyline and is displayed with sharp edges. To display the preview of the connecting lines with their corresponding radius value, the specific visualization must be activated from the piping design panel.
The piping path is also compatible with the frame generator and many of the 3DTOOLS commands.
For example the the conveyour command draws the curves correctly.
