Lol, no this isn't about the SF member.

I found this program on a water gun wesbite. It's limited, but it allows you to rotate and peice together a number of pipes and fittings. Pretty neat, actually

Even though its simple, that is pretty cool. I've been fooling around with it and i like how it can give you kinda of a basic since as to what your cannon will look like before you do put it together.

Cool program, what was the name of the site? The program just needs a few more items to chooses from and less limitations on where the pieces can be place. Now you can only place them on or between the lines. Thanks for posting this.

yeah, this is pretty cool. it is now on my "spudgun neccecities" flashdrive......

on it righ tnow i have:

-GGDT
-Jordanadrway's Range Calculator
-A meansurement converter
-A list of ID and OD of all sizes of PVC piping
-A program that when hooked up to a michrophone, automatically works like a chrony
-Newest addition: This Program

someday ill post the whole thing in a ZIP folder. its quite useful. if i have a new idea, i can just pull my flashdrive out and test/tweak on ANY COMPUTER I COME ACROSS

anyway, this is a cool program. might have to hack it and get more abilites, such as a blowgun, hose, custom tubes, 4 inch pipe/fittings, bushings, all that stuff...

if only this could be merged with GGDT, a 3D renderer and jordanardways range calculator, we would have the ultimate spudgun program..........

ZOMG!!! ALL THOSE PIECES ARE DWV!! DON'T USE THAT PROGRAM!!

...anyways...

thats really cool... PVC Arsenal, did you design some of your cannons using that program? From what I remember, your drawing of the Omega project looked like it used pieces from that creator... not really sure though.

Anyways, great find!

I'm fine with GGDT, I copied it over from my old XP machine and it still runs fine, but this program just doesn't want to run.

You have to alter your permissions to get it to work. It wouldn't run on Redneck's computer, but I tweaked things a little and I got it to work just fine with the files downloaded off Halls site. :)

Just downloaded it and I like it a lot, It's really simple to use but the only problem is it doesn't show depth :?

Come to think of it, I did! Forgot about that.

Is there anyway someone with knowledge of these things could write a similar program possibly with more features?
