The current rule set seems to have no effect on this whether I apply the rules or set an over ride to remove the rules. I think Dana is saying that this is a rules issue within the programming and not accessible to the users. I think you have seen this data when I first brought it to your attention last year, but I can put the ETransmit file up for you on SwampExpress to look at again if you are curious.
OK I talked to my contact in QA. While I still have faith that my programming buddy might have a solution, it appears that no matter how much you try to force a pipe to be attached to a wall, that the only acceptable attachment point in the program architecture is the
structure insertion point.If you changed the structure insertion point in part builder, you could change where the pipe attaches. But, that would mean that all pipes incoming/outgoing/etc. would attach there. And that wouldn't be good.
Also, even if you force it to attach to the walls of the structure, not matter what you do all of the calculcations and such are based on that structure insertion point.
We'll see if the hack fairy comes through for us, but no matter what he does, the above confirms that it will be indeed a hack.
