Kindly refer to the picture of the form below.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Narendra_0-1644990902835.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/19145i42434BBDF9354F78/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Narendra_0-1644990902835.png" alt="Narendra_0-1644990902835.png" /></span></P> <P>However I can increase the diameter than that of the pipe but cannot reduce it than that of pipe.</P> <P>For example if pipe dia is 100mm it is not possible to change the bend radius to 60mm. Archicad allows that in the MEP custom settings dialogue for Bend element. Please see the figure, where I have made radius to 51mm for 100mm dia pipe.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Narendra_1-1644991272250.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/19146i0CC3C99BF3258D63/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Narendra_1-1644991272250.png" alt="Narendra_1-1644991272250.png" /></span></P> <P>This causes a great inconvenience while routing.</P> <P>Will someone show the way?</P> <P>Thanks and Regards.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Naraindrra</P> <P>Archicad Ver 5-25</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 30 Jan 2025 15:32:25 GMT Narendra 2025-01-30T15:32:25Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Why-can-t-bend-radiuses-be-reduced-lesser-than-pipe-diameters-in/m-p/330157#M157326 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I am trying to reduce bend radiuses lesser than the pipe diameters in MEP preferences which would match manufacturer's products.
