The bend check
Made for the people who bend the pipe.
Sightgrid reads the model the way your crew will install it: every run, every box, every bend.
The bend check · 01
Every bend in the model.
Each conduit bend, held against what that size can really be bent to: the take-up stamped on the bender head, and the tightest radius the code allows.

A 90 needs its stub.
On a hand bender, 1 in EMT takes up 8 in. Draw the stub shorter and it can’t be bent as drawn.
The bend check · 03
Caught on paper, not at the bender.
“1 in EMT 90 needs 8 in of stub-up; drawn at 6.5 in.” With suggested fixes, labelled as suggestions: a longer stub, or a factory elbow. A person on the job confirms. EXAMPLE
