Free 3D Piping CLASS – No Strings Attached – 3d pipeline drawing

Learn how to create a 3D Piping Spool in just a few steps, without having to draw it by hand.  Even if you know nothing about 3D.

Our 6 day FREE piping class will take you through
The steps you need to follow to draw a 3D piping spool …

GREAT CLASS FOR FIRST TIME 3D CAD USERS
Even if you are new to 3D CAD or 3D piping, this free pipe class will not be an impossible task to get done. We’ll take you step by step through the entire process of creating the drawing. We’ll also show you how to export and print your final drawing.
VIDEOS WILL SHOW YOU HANDS ON TECHNIQUES 
The piping course is divided into 6 days of learning. Each day we’ll email you a video and even some practice work so you can try examples on your own. You’ll discover that inputting 3D pipe is not as hard as it sounds.
WE’RE USING A REAL WORLD CAD EXAMPLE
This is not a made up example but a real CAD project using spec’d piping fittings. This way you can do the same when you’re ready to draw on your own. By the end of the class you’ll have the foundation you need to take it to the next level.
EXTRA HELP IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE
During the course if you have questions you can leave us a comment below the video and we’ll gladly answer it within 24 hours. You can also email or call us as well.

What You’ll Get In Our 6 Days Of Piping Class

You’ll receive 6 piping lessons which you’ll be able to access anytime. You’ll be able to learn at your own pace and return to classes to review if needed.

We’ll provide you with a couple of starter lessons to warm up, and we encourage you to follow along. Easy-to-follow examples are also provided for practice.

You’ll also receive one email each day for 6 days to remind you to practice! We’ll help keep you on track too. Please feel free to ask questions anytime.

Here’s what you’ll build

A real 6-inch piping spool with tees, elbows and a flanged connection. You’ll draw it in 3D, then finish it as a drawing with balloons and a bill of materials.

What you’ll learn each day

  • Day 1: 3D Piping, What’s Ahead. See the spool you’ll build and watch an example of 3D pipe input from start to finish.
  • Day 2: Control the Cursor (Object Snaps). Dive into the snap settings so every pipe and fitting connects exactly where it should.
  • Day 3: Type Distances, Stop Guessing. Learn direct distance entry: point in a direction, type a length and get an exact run every time.
  • Day 4: Practice + Editing Basics. Put snaps and distances to work, then learn the basic edits to move, copy and fix your piping.
  • Day 5: Piping Spool Input. Draw the full spool in 3D, with pipe, elbows, tees and a flanged connection.
  • Day 6: Create a Piping BOM Fast. Balloon the spool and generate a bill of materials table automatically.

Students will receive a starter DWG file and easy-to-follow homework examples for extra practice.

6. What is included in the starter DWG file provided with the course?

The starter DWG file provided with the course includes spec’d piping fittings for a real-world CAD project.

7. Can I access the piping class materials at any time and learn at my own pace?

Yes, students can access the course materials at any time and learn at their own pace.

8. What kind of software or tools will I need to complete the course?

Students will need access to 2D/3D CAD software and the Mech-Q add-on. It’s completely free to use for 30 days. Extensions also available.

9. How will this course benefit me in my CAD career or personal projects?

This course will benefit you by providing the foundation you need to create 3D piping spools and 3D pipeline drawings. Although we are using CAD tools, the process is the same. Learning a handful of tips and practice will take you to the next level.

10. Is there a cost for this course or is it completely free?

The course is completely free with no strings attached. There is no catch, we simply want you to learn how to draw in 3D more efficiently.
