Here I am using Mech-Q to do most of the heavy lifting for this fictitious ducting system. I’m also using AViCAD (very affordable), its an AutoCAD alternative that has hundreds of engineering tools, like this Ducting module included. For more about Mech-Q see: https://cadavenue.com/ducting-module.htm
Drawing a 3D tank in CAD today – I’m continuing our elementary 3D piping input series using Mech-Q Piping Tools (free download avail link below). Even if your a beginner – you will be able to follow along as we are using some real basic CAD concepts to get this done. I’m using Mech-Q to…

Direct distance input is a quick way to draw a 3D sketch. In the video above we are using this to input our pipe run before building a more elaborate model. Then we can insert the fittings at the endpoints and intersections and lastly joint them with straight pipe. The tool I used in this…

Creating a piping isometric drawing Creating isometric piping drawings in CAD is a core task in mechanical and piping design. Whether you’re producing simple layouts or detailed construction documents, isometric piping drawings clearly communicate pipe routing, fittings, elevations, and materials. In this tutorial, we cover two proven methods for creating pipe isometric drawings: Using standard AutoCAD…
