Stumbled across this, thought some might find it handy.

Going to check its accuracy on some drops, I need the pipe practice anyway.

That's pretty handy.

Yo Tommy-

Yeah, pretty slick.  My only reservation relates to a lot of similar programs for other applications and that is it seems  guys just coming up are depending on electronic sources without a strong grasp of the concepts [like right angle projection for template development] these numbers are generated from.  A solid grounding in applied geometry and right angle trig makes the world a simpler place when you run up against a real head scratcher.  But I do like the efficiency of the tool you found.  Have you checked it for accuracy yet?

My policy with electronic pipe layout is to trust but verify. Even Autodesk products have given me inaccurate templates, especially with real wall thickness, but of course most of the time everything is spot on.

No but soon...too much time on a calculator/phone/calender/desk lately.  Unfortunately I don't have a wide variety of sizes to test it on but I will post back good or bad when I can bounce around the shop for a bit.
