Todays Overview: We’re Setting Up Mech-Q
This is officially our first day in the 6 Days of Piping Class. I hope your excited as much as I am. Today we’re setting things up before we begin using Mech-Q. Specifically I’ll show you important 3D Piping and BOM settings. In the class we’ll also be using a Weld Gap option for our Carbon Steel, Butt Welded Fittings. We’ll also let Mech-Q manage our layers. Also make sure to download a cheat sheet provided in the homework section. Then in next video we start our piping project I promise!
