WHAT IT DOES

Piper, in practice.

Piper combines pipe runs, fittings, system information and reusable connected parts. Choose routing definitions and sizes, then draw or revise connected pipework.

01

Draw connected runs

Create pipe runs with elbows, tees and transitions. Flexible pipes and pipework from mesh lines extend the workflow.

02

Choose real sizing data

DN selection and catalogue outside diameters work with routing preferences for the chosen pipe specification.

03

Connect equipment and parts

Use equipment connectors, reusable Parts and DN-linked sizes to place components into the pipework.

04

Revise the route

Change run sizes, apply slopes, inspect systems and use routing tools to explore connections.

BEFORE YOU START

The right setup.

Package: Piper, XForm, Assy, Profiles, Para, Mats and Shell.

Install the full Piper bundle, including XForm, Assy, Profiles, Para, Mats and Shell. Open the Database from Piper to use its connected workflow. Database dependencies and the catalogue must be supplied/configured for the build; do not assume a standalone library launch is connected to Blender.
