    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=353260">Kent Cooper</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 10432<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03.Jul.2014 at 15:12<br /><br /><P>Let's say &#091;for the generic case, including this specific example&#093; the&nbsp;pipe diameter is&nbsp;in a variable called 'dia', the angle in a variable called 'ang', and the wall thickness in a variable called 'thk'.&nbsp; In AutoLISP terms:</P><DIV>The cross-sectional area of the pipe is pi times the square of the radius:</DIV><DIV>(* pi (expt (/ dia 2) 2))</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>The distance along the pipe as it goes through the wall is a function of the thickness and the angle:</DIV><DIV>(/ thk (sin ang))</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>The volume of the pipe inside the wall is just the product of those:</DIV><DIV>(* pi (expt (/ dia 2) 2) (/ thk (sin ang)))</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>As for constructing it in 3D, that's a process of using Extrude on a Circle, or &#091;shortcut to the same thing&#093; drawing a Cylinder, longer than you need, and using Slice twice on it at the appropriate angle and spacing.&nbsp; Some changes of User Coordinate System will make it easier, though it could be done without that.&nbsp; It could presumably be automated in a Lisp routine, if this is something that is needed often enough.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>EDIT:&nbsp; Actually, in a quick trial, I find you can construct it <EM>without</EM> making it too long and using Slice, by using Extrude along a <EM>3D-diagonal</EM> Line as a path.&nbsp; In this example, to get the shape &#091;though not in the same orientation&#093;, draw a Circle with 300 radius, and a Line diagonally up off the page, from&nbsp;the Circle's center to @0,300,300 &#091;or any combination with either the X or Y coordinate 0 and the other two 300 or -300&#093;.&nbsp; Then Extrude the Circle, using the Path option and selecting the Line.&nbsp; With a UCS change you can draw it directly in the orientation of the wall and pipe.</DIV><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Kent Cooper - 03.Jul.2014 at 15:44</span>]]>
