Update 4.2r4 Pipe update includes improvements and corrections. The purpose of this release is for refinement of the Pipe program.

Improvements and Enhancements

1. Adjust Transparency of Single Line Pipe

Within Takeoff, go to Setup menu, then Onscreen Options.

2. Variable Assemblies - Allow for quantity formulas

When creating or editing variable assemblies users will have the ability to create formulas for the quantity variables. Click the link below to watch (no sound) a demonstration video.

Variable Assemblies Quantity Formula Video

Example of formulas for quantity variables:

  • Q1 = Scaled Pipe Length

  • Q2 = Elbow Qty formula of Q1/10

  • Q3 = Tee Qty formula of Q2+5

When the assembly is used, users can scale the length of pipe and the program will calculate the elbows and tees.

Example:

  • Pipe Length = 60 feet

  • Elbow Qty = 6

  • Tee Qty = 11

3. Add Labor Factor to Excel Detail Tab

We have added in the excel summary, on the detail tab, a column titled Labor Factor. This column will show the factor that was used during calculation of the zones.

4. EastCoast CAD Import - Split import file into zones by spec

When the user imports the EastCoast XML file they will be presented with a dialog box that will allow them to enter the files information to use to create the zones

Bug Fixes and Corrections

  1. Some users were experiencing a long wait at log in with offsite (cloud) servers. This was due to Pipe loading all job data for faster experience while in the program. We have changed when the job data is loaded. Now it loads when the user goes to any of the tabs within a job instead of at start of program.
