Input Definitions
Inputs Needed to Call the Tee Function
origin - A 3*1 matrix with x,y,z positions corresponding to the point where the tee will be drawn.
ND - The nominal diameter of the pipe. This value along with the pipe schedule is used to determine other actual dimensions of the tee.
R1 - The inner radius of the main pipe.
R2 - The outer radius of the main pipe.
R3 - The outer radius of the sockets of the tee.
L - The length of the skinnier pipes of the tee.
H - The length (or depth) of the sockets of the tee.
EN- The enumerated pipe schedule type. Each schedule of pipe is represented by a specific number within our code.

Unknown macro: {float}
zoomwin- zooms on a window space directly around where the tee is to be drawn. The points win1 and win2 are used to select this window size, based on including the space of the tee and a zoom constant (zc) to ensure the entire drawing will be within the frame.
zoomwin <-- zoomwina(win1,win2)
win1 =
- x : origin0 - (L/2 + H)
- y : origin1 - R3
- z : origin2
win2 =
- x : origin0 + (L/2 + H)

rotate1- rotates pipe2 90 degrees using p2 to select pipe2, then using p3 to specify where on the y-axis to rotate.
rotate1 <-- rotate()3d(p3,p2,"y",90)
p3 =
- x : origin0 + innerD(ND, EN)/2

"y" - specifies which dimension to rotate in
90 - specifies how many degrees to rotate
