1. Purpose
Bundles many small pipe-processing steps into a single run using the newest version-3 workflow. Use it when runs are roughly sketched and need a bulk cleanup before combining.
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 QRPipe3 inside the QRPipe pulldown in the VP_MEP tab, Plumbing panel.
- The tool runs the version-3 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
Three floors of roughly sketched supply runs, each with a dozen small defects: open ends, missing elbows, skewed elevations. Click QRPipe3 floor by floor — each floor comes out clean in seconds, leaving only the shaft tie-in.
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 |
| Results differ from the old version | This is the version-3 workflow — use version 2 for old runs |
