Now we can continue. Draw a pipe either from the sprinkler or from the arm over. I'm doing it from the arm over and I'm getting my transition piece automatically or from the fitting.
Now I'll have to align. Okay, looks like it doesn't like this one either. Okay, that's because I didn't move it quite to the center.
So just make sure we're snapping and we're good. If you're drawing from the sprinkler, remember, make it one inch. So I think it's going to be easier to draw from the arm over configuration instead.
It's one less step because it's already one inch pipe. Okay, level one. It's aligned.
Looks like the same thing might be going on here. So again, no problem. Now we know how to deal with these things.

You can get rid of our level two piping plan. Let's see what's going on with our level one piping plan. So unfortunately, it looked like we got the same thing that happened.
Now we know how to fix it. This one was already taken care of. It was starting here.
Let's get rid of the drops. We should pull this back all the way there. Okay, now we already know how to do this.
So feel free to challenge yourself. Pause the video or skip ahead and see if you can remember and fix this issue without watching the video. You notice I'm going past and back because it seems to snap to the detail line when I do it that way.
Now we're back to window tile. Let's start from the arm over, line up with the sprinkler. Okay, let's zoom out.
Before we go any farther, let's save. We have done a substantial amount of this project and had made some very good progress. If you've made it this far, you should definitely be proud of yourself.
And in the next videos, we'll keep going. In the meantime, why don't you take a break and I'll see you in the next video.
