"Seriously, can you simplify it..."

Man, I wish I could!

All exposed ceiling with minimal walls in a huge space, and the Arch's don't want to see conduit?!?

So now they are trying to get me to follow thier wacked ways of "hiding" it.

Most of the time I can take a set of plans and lay it out with line diagrams, and have the crew just go to it. And what I get is a two dimentional plan, and two dimentional conduit runs.

So now as I lay it out, I have to call out elevation too. And the changes in elevation. Track all the extra bend, etc.

Ah... Maybe I'm just B&@%#ing.

But there must be a better way for laying out something like that. Like AutoCAD specifically for conduit runs. Feed in plans, and it does the lay-out, wire, and bend count for you, and spits out a new set with exactly what you're suposed to build for you.

A genie in a bottle would be nice too! [Linked Image]

So instead, I am ordering several cases of LB's, TB's, and C's, which mean 3-point pulls.

We added a change order for this wacked out idea, so not worried 'bout the money. But now I have to do it!
