Intersecting Pipes in SketchUp for Web

Solid tools are great for intersecting or connecting solids! But what happens when the solids you want to intersect are SUPPOSED to have holes in them? What about something like pipes? This is exactly the issue that Aaron tackles in this video!

Using xray view helps to show all the inside geometry or hidden lines too. Pulling the pieces apart was a nice touch though. Keep up the good work Aaron

Nice one Aaron, clearly explained and a very useful skill set to have on the tool belt.

Very nice. Can you try drawing ABS Pipe Fittings? This technique does not work that well when you are intersecting the pipes with sweeps in them. Try a 2" Sanitary Tee for example.

Hello thank you for all this great videos. I have a company specialized in installing sail shades and architectural fabrics, can you give us some tips in how to draw does kind of objects please, thank you

Very useful compared to using fittings and straight pipe.

Why such a complicated process with the L shaped pipe? Doing just a circle, L shaped lines and follow me way faster and easier… or do I miss something? I never use SketchUp web

This method in my iPad will not work, frustrated is the least .
