Ok, I have been working on this program, and now it's finished. You can use it to make homemade designs.

It's all click-and-drag, there are different pipe sizes and some specialty parts. The down arrow opens a menu to change sizes, and the curved arrow rotates the pipe. Dragging the piece to the trash can destroys it. You can save and load .pvc files (native to this program) or save them as a bitmap (.bmp).

Great stuff! I recall you talking about this once-upon-a-time at SSC, but it's nice to see you pushed ahead with it. Great start!

Do you plan on continuing to upgrade this program? If so, there be numerous things I'm sure myself as well as other members would love to see added. (BTW, cool/funky/funny 'Help' menu)

At any rate, thanks for sharing the program! Now, excuse me while I play around with some virtual PVC... :goofy:

Heck, this thing really gives me a great idea for a summer contest: best soaker design using PVC_Designer. I suppose the only problem with such a contest is that it's only open to those able to run the program (Windows-only program, I assume). :cool:

:cool:

Yea, It's pretty simple to add parts, just list what you'd like to see, and I'll add it.


And yes, it's Windows-only.

Please no contest like that... maybe best design, but you can't make everyone use PVC designer. I would have to go out and buy a new computer to enter a contest like that.

OK, I've added a few more parts, you can download it at the same site (just click the link, it's the newest version). I added tracked pipe, metal ball valves, and couplings, which can double as pump handles. :laugh:

Hey, did you make that with GM? I'm a user as well...
EDIT: NVM, I guess you did. I downloaded the file, a .gm6 is included. :D
