Changes I'd like to see to these pipe props

Xtof

<div class="IPBDescription">for making a pipe network possible.</div>Ok... my idea exists in the fact that if you make the changes I propose you can make a whole network of these pipes... going from the floor, walls, ceiling and in the free space...
I think it would benefit map making as we have to work theme based... and making a good looking well laid out pipe network through your hallway(s) for your refenery (for instance) would benefit the feel. I'm just saying that it would be helpfull... at least that is what <b>I</b> think. here goes:

It concerns the next props [See picture below]:
The bottom row from left to right [The free models=> called PIPEMODS]:

- refinery/refinery_pipemods_02_straight1.model
- refinery/refinery_pipemods_02_straight2.model
- refinery/refinery_pipemods_02_straight_sm.model
- refinery/refinery_pipemods_02_tsection.model
- refinery/refinery_pipemods_02_bend.model

The top row from legt to right [The floor/wall models=> called TUBES]:

- refinery_floor_tubes_03_straight1.model
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_straight2.model
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_tsection.model

See picture:

What I'd like to see is that they add what I've explained in this picture:
<a href="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7593/pipesandtubes002request.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7593/pipesandtubes002request.th.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></a>
You would basically have this when you add what I suggest:
<b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->[Red]<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><b>straight_sm</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.model
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><b>bend</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.model
<b>[White]</b>
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_<b>tsection_up</b>.model
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_<b>bend_up</b>.model
<b><!--coloro:#FFFF00--><span style="color:#FFFF00"><!--/coloro-->[Yellow]<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>
- refinery_floor_tubes_03_<b><!--coloro:#FFFF00--><span style="color:#FFFF00"><!--/coloro-->bend_upwall<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>.model

<u><b>But then they would have to adpat this</b></u>:
The <b>pipemods</b> are a bit different in dimension then the <b>tubes</b> and they would have to be altered accordingly... the f<b>loor</b> models to the sizes of the <b>pipemods</b>, not the other way around of course.
<a href="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/228/pipesandtubes005.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/228/pipesandtubes005.th.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></a>
<a href="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/3720/pipesandtubes006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/3720/pipesandtubes006.th.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /></a>

<u><b>And for more ease of use</b></u>:
Right now, when you make a 90° turn with the <b>pipemods</b> it doesn't fit anymore... of course you can allway turn both 90°, but if you want to make a network... you will come to a situation where you cannot make what you want. I'd suggest to make the shape of the <b>pipemods</b> the same in every direction, and to [the change I suggested] make them compatible with the <b>floor</b>-models.

How does this idea sound to you guys. I think these are minor requests that can lead to much more.

I haven't run into the fitment issue you are speaking of, but the props to go from Wall into the floor are something I can agree with. would make networks of pipe easier to handle.

Speaking of adding more options with models, I'd like models that let you use the wallmods in corners to seamlessly connect two wallmods, not just turn around edges (:

i.e, now we have models for "outward corners" (what I refer to as edges). We do not have models for "inward corners" (what I refer to as simply corners).

Would also be really nice with more "end" models for the pipes/tubes. (:

Anyway to make these pipes and models like these snappable?

I second that... <b>"inward corners"</b> would be a nice addition. Little effort for a maximun result if you ask me.

Don't know (don't think) it's possible at this moment. Would be a nice feature though.
