Seems very elaborated!

Unfortunately, not as much as I'd like. Honestly my idea is started a year ago, but I had to learn a lot...
But nowadays I can have a lot less time to dedicate to this. -
You have a challenger here!

Sorry but
I draw a simple Arc
Apply Auto Pipe
cool : all works fine
but I will make a CTRL + Z (Undo)
---> total crash BugSlpatch --> Sketchup closed!

Hm. Interesting. Thanks for reporting.
I didn't faced any of single crash, but I have never tested with Free/Make version. And the ani-gif above has been made by applying auto pipe and undoing, applying auto pipe and undoing....
However I don't see so much chance to check it in the next 2 weeks, but would you please try to post the file (skp) what causing the crash. Crete Arc, save the file... and try to reproduce the error, if you get crash please post the file, (and dimension/ settings in PomPi)
Thanks!Update:
I just installed SketchUp Make and can't reproduce your error!? -
You are lucky!
Crash(es) becomes exacly like previous post and even more beautifuly!But maybe I have a little idea! I use 2016 and you 2014 so...?
Even I input crazzy thing your plugin must alert me but not make a direct crash!

Thanks a lot (I have W7/SU2014 on my work computer, W10 SU/2015Pro +2016pro + 2016Make in my home computer ...
)I reproduced the error now. It is only on SU 2016pro/make. (on SU2014 I will try later)
But now I have to travel for 2-3 weeks working abroad... (Without my home computer... let see if I can do something during this time)
Thanks again! Please try to create in an other way the 'Arc' or don't use PomPi on it don't use undo
-
Thanks for pilouto report:
- If you apply Auto pipe -with a certain parameters- to "Arc" SU can crash! (Somtimes only when you try to undo it)
(I typed into the first post too..)
Sorry about it I will try to figure out why... sometime. -
And here I was thinking this was just another piping plugin. It seems I'd use this a lot.
Let me ask you one thing: When it calculates the autopiping does it use standard corners radiuses or are they user input?
I do a lot of those and always have to correct them after checking with my favorite steel worker

Happy to hear if you find it useful!
The radius of the corner (elbow) is "standard": coming from RBE field, what you can enter manually or coming from your (or mine) CSV file.
As you may discovered in the user manual, You can create your CSV file according to your taste... and load it.The angle is determined by selected lines. (ignored the ABE filed)

Great!

Fixed version in first post!
(I hope if it OK now... I have not much time to test.)Fixed: (2016_0621_1551) Please test!
- The "Arc" related crash should be OK
- The interface will notice (and not allow to anything bend related operation) if outside diameter>=2bend radius (DO1>=2RBE)
- Note the input fields check still not 100% complete, be careful what you type in. If you got crash please report here!

Hi Dezmo,
Thanks for this plugin - it's really useful for people working with pipes...
In the past I worked with cooling and ventilation systems and I've been using the 3skeng plugin, but I really like your plugin...Is it possible only to have the outer mesh of the pipe?
I'm asking about this, as the thickness isn't really needed and if you have very complex models, it will take a lot of geometry and make SU slow when orbiting the model... -

Put 0 to inner diameter...

So obvious...
I don't have the need for making pipes in my new position with another company - at least it will be very rare...
But I will definitely recommend your plugin to the company I worked with in the past...
They're still using the 3skeng plugin, but your plugin have some great features...
In particular I like the way users can make their own libraries...
The company I worked with used a special DIN and I always had to adjust radius for bends and length of reducers etc...
With the option your plugin has, it's much easier... -

As you can see you can "play" a lot with parameters but at the end you can resize the UI to smaller and you can use as a "toolbar" only...
(BTW when I'm finishing my work in Denmark
I'll try to make some "final tune" on PomPi and the user manual... but I still can't give a deadline... ) -

Your work in Denmark...?!?
Where do you work in Denmark...?
I'm based in Denmark and I'm working in the center of Copenhagen... -

@dezmo said:
I'm in the middle of nowhere... in industrial area. (Videbæk close to Herning)
Aahhh... In Jylland... Far away from Copenhagen...
But you're not Danish - right...?!
Could have been fun to meet you and have a cup of coffee or a beer...
Aahhh welll... Perhaps another time...
