Fabrication Fill Between 2 Ends on Welded Pipe
« on: Jan 12, 2026, 18:11:23 PM »
I've had an issue for a long time and have not been able to find a solution. This seems to only happen on my Welded Pipe service. When I use fill between 2 ends and select two different pipes, it should be adding a weld itm, 90 elbow, and one more weld itm, then stretch the pipes to the welds on the elbow. Right now, it does add the elbow and the two welds, the issue is the first pipe selected it stretches the pipe correctly adds the weld and than the elbow with the nodes in correctly. The other side of the elbow is where the issue happens. It will add the weld, usually though sometimes it doesn't, the problem is the weld seems to flip connector ends. The pipe is stretched right up to the elbow and not leaving the gap for a weld itm. See attached pic to better explain.

Any help or ideas would be very appreciated.

Just going off of the pictures, my best guess is that the weld only has connector one assigned.

I wish that was it. Nope, both connectors are assigned. I just had an instance where the weld on the second pick point side, for the fill, did not populate a weld object, just butt up the pipe to the elbow. It's random every time making it hard to narrow down as to why. Does anyone else have this issue at all?

I forgot the plain end connector that is current set on the pipe.
