1. Purpose
Bundles many small pipe-processing steps into a single run using the version-2 workflow. Use it for runs drawn with an older tool build, or when version 3 gives unwanted results.
2. Quick video (≤ 2 minutes)
[Video in production — follow the steps below for now.]
3. Steps
- Open a view holding the runs to process. [image 01: rough runs before processing]
- Click QRPipe2 inside the QRPipe pulldown in the VP_MEP tab, Plumbing panel.
- The tool runs the version-2 quick workflow over the runs. It runs silently — eyeball the results when it finishes. [image 02: runs after processing]
- Fix by hand whatever is left, or run Fix common pipe issues. [image 03: verifying the result]
4. Real-world example
Reopening a project drawn last year, version 3 shifts a few segments off their old positions. Switching to QRPipe2 — the version-2 workflow keeps the old behavior, cleaning the runs without moving them.
5. Common errors
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Nothing changes after the run | The runs are not ready — close the open ends, then rerun |
| The button is nowhere to be seen | It lives inside the QRPipe pulldown — expand the arrow to find it |
| Want the newest behavior | Switch to version 3 for newly drawn runs |
