Create cylinder to be used to create drain pipe
Extend profile to cover base section of pipe
Copy or create cylinder of equal diameter
Apply bend modifier to cover first 90'of bend
Adjust size to fit purpose
Copy and rotate to create second bend
Attach top segment if required
((Try to leave gap between each piece))
Attach segments to main pipe
Remove end caps of geometry pieces
(this could have been performed more easily upon separate pieces)
With end caps removed - weld exposed edges together to create single pipe
Adjust single pipe geometry if required to fit profile
PIPE HOLDER
Create cylinder
make sure outer diameter is greater then pipe
Alt + q = isolation mode
Add end cap segment (2) - convert to editable poly - edge selection - select loop (inside edge geometry segment - scale out as shown
Polygon selection mode - select all polygons as shown to leave arch
Delete highlighted geometry
Bridge sections INDIVIDUALLY to maintain arch
cap ends of arch
edge selection mode - Connect tool - add 2 lines of geometry as shown - use pinch to narrow position
Highlight newly created segments
Extrude - as group - local normal
highlight back profile as shown
Extrude - group - local normal
Exit isolation mode
highlight newly created object - shift + a - left click on pipe
This will align holder pivot point to pipes pivot point - side both cylinders will place holder around main pipe
Adjust diameter and extrusion depth to fit purpose
Rotate to represent fixing to wall
Create new layers to hide pipes
Copy pipe geometry
Place one new pipe to fit into corner
Add connect lines on pipe hight
Adjust holder height
Line up connect line to allow height to be effectively trimmed
Enter isolation mode - highlight all polygons above connect line
Remove geometry
Move pipe over extruding geometry of side wall
Rotate 180'
Trim as before (but opposite) to gain result as shown
Highlight and remove geometry as shown to leave most of single bend
This will leave pipe hollow and 2 dimensional on inside as shown
Apply shell to pipe
Make sure inner amount is applied but outer amount is reduced to 0.0
Adjust height so not to overlap with roof
Copy another pipe
Move to back face of building
Slide holders down into position
Trim using techniques as before to create small side pipe
