Hello!

I think I found a bug in the [bug] archpipe tool. Some parts of the pipe disapper depending on the diameter. [/bug]
In the attachet file you can see that by changing the diameter between 50-100-200.

The bug seems quite arbitrary. If you change the diameter one millimeter and than recompute you get a lot of appearing and disappearing of parts of the pipe.

greets Daniel

edit: if you add a filet radius to the dwire, the pipes are also shown correctly

Hmm indeed, this looks like a bug in the OCC PipeShell algorithm... That's not the first time we see these, and on the OCC forums there are other complaints as well. It is unlikely that we'd be able to do much on our side..

In this case I think I would split the wire into separate edges (Draft Downgrade), and recompose partial wires, which the algorithm might like better...
