- Is there documentation or videos on how to draw with these? I have found that I get confused on the combining and drawing functions.
Yes, we have documentation in the Ignition User Manual. Perspective Pipes - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation
I've considered making a video, I've been preoccupied with the early development stages of the next big feature, but I could make time.
- Is there a way to individually set the arrow direction or hide the arrow by section? For example I have a pipe that has a number of tees and flow can go various ways. I was trying to use the mid-arrow setting to clarify flow but have issues getting the direction to fall into place for each pipe. It would be great to not worry so much about how I draw the pipes to get the direction right. Perhaps there could be a section by section setting to flip the arrow direction? Or hide the arrow on a specific section (e.g. if flow can go both ways). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is admittedly clunky, every pipe has one "start" (origin), and limitless "end"s . Mid arrow direction is determined by the start and end props, with the start prop taking precedence except for the "terminal" segment (segments that end in a connection without further connections)
One suggestion for fine grain control is to use separate pipes. You can drag one pipe segment to another to combine them, and then undo the combine to keep them as separate pipes.
