I thought 3D modeling for pipe runs was just extra work, but a job in Austin changed my mind

Yeah, Austin will do that. I mean, I had a friend who worked on a remodel there, some old house with plumbing all over the place. They tried to skip the 3D part to save time, and it was a mess. They ended up hitting a gas line they didn't know was there because the old 2D plans were wrong. Idk, maybe it's just me, but seeing a pipe run in 3D before you cut into a wall seems worth the extra hour now.

I learned that the hard way too. My crew laughed at me for modeling a simple bathroom re-pipe, right up until we found a vent stack running right where the old plans said it was clear. That extra hour saved us two days of patch work.
