hcHey LSG,
As Jop said……I go off on my own with the initial structural design. I cannot design a piping layout without thinking through structural design as I go. It’s good to hear your taking that same approach because more and more I’m seeing designers throwing piping in space and telling structural to fiqure it out.
My first question is what sort of approach are you able to take…..meaning do you have access to structural software add on’s or are you using simple 3D rectangular shapes. That will help me answer your question.
I guess my second question is….do you have structural designers at your location or are you required to do the actual structural design…..not just the initial base structural layout?
I need a feel for what your actually required to produce. I don’t want to send you on a wrong path. Also, what type of project are you working on?
