New Routing Preferences have been created for use with sloped piping. These Routing Preferences also take advantage of new piping content created for the 2010 release. Routing Preferences now support the use of Laterals (or angled tees) to facilitate drawing gravity drainage systems. Transitions have been separated into selections for Concentric and Eccentric to provide greater flexibility for your designs.

You can now draw sloped piping runs without having to manually calculate which angle to use. Several different slope format options (including angle, percentage and rise/run) are available to suit your preferred design approach.

The new property palette has a floating edit box where we can specify the slope\angle\etc. The Properties Palette for Pipe now provides settings specific to sloped piping. Options include slope and slope format, joint direction, bend and branch angle settings, and branch fittings.
