3d software for plumbing
does anyone know if this exists? I have horrendous new internal drain
problem and I need to draw it out for assistance. After all a picture is worth a thousand words. TIA. |

so get some isometric graph paper and start drawing. heck do it without
isometric graph paper. or if you must, most generic cad programs have an isometric mode. randy "oreo123" wrote in message ... does anyone know if this exists? I have horrendous new internal drain problem and I need to draw it out for assistance. After all a picture is worth a thousand words. TIA. |

Well, I understand that, I was wondering what the op's problem was that was complicated enough plumbing problem to actually need the view...plant piping, yes, but this is (supposedly) home repair. |
