Now we can continue. Draw a pipe either from the sprinkler or from the arm over. I'm drawing from the arm over and getting the transition piece automatically—from the fitting.
Now I'll have to align. Okay, it looks like it doesn't like this one either. That's because I didn't move it quite to the center.
So just make sure we're snapping correctly, and we’re good. If you're drawing from the sprinkler, remember, make it 1 inch. 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 a 1-inch pipe. Okay, Level 1. It's aligned.
It 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 2 piping plan. Let's see what's going on with our Level 1 piping plan. Unfortunately, it looks 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 how to fix this issue without watching the video. You’ll 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’ve done a substantial amount of work on this project and have made very good progress. If you've made it this far, you should be proud of your progress.
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.
