Now, in this model, I have already isolated an area of pipe for us. So let's turn off all points, and let's take a look at this configuration of just a small run of pipe here. So let's use a couple of different methods to recap the fitting. So we're going to come to our modeling, cylinders, so we can fit using two points. And we can just check to make sure that's a decent fit. Then we can come down, and we can also model using fit cylinder. So I'm just going to pepper the points. Now we're going to say okay. And then we're going to come down, and we can also just isolate an area of points and say we're going to fit that cylinder using visible points. So let's put our points back on again and take a look at that. Do we think that looks…
