Enhanced Pipe Penetration

The workflow for penetrating pipes has improved.

When you add a pipe penetration, Routing creates a cut extrude feature and sets Offset From Surface instead of Up To Surface as the End Condition. The outside surface of the pipe is selected and the offset is the pipe thickness.

You can delete a penetration by right-clicking Remove Penetration. This removes the penetration permanently.

If you delete a penetrating pipe from the FeatureManager design tree, the point of penetration is maintained in the Route feature. When you exit the route, the penetration automatically updates.

You can also replace a pipe penetration with a fitting by dragging and dropping a fitting at the penetration point. This adds a split point in the route segment to align the fitting with the route segment.
