So I'm going to take this section, pull it up to here, and bring it in. Some of these will also need a section going the other direction, so I'll bring that in as well and shorten it.
When we get to this offset sprinkler, we'll have to use it there. We'll go to view. Okay, let’s use Window Tile again.
Highlight the sprinkler, make sure we're at the right one. There we go. Okay, now let's connect our drops.
So I'm going to draw this over and draw the pipe down. It's already one inch in diameter. We are connected.
Now the next sprinkler here is offset, so we can't draw from this view. We'll have to go to this one, go to view. And now we can use WT again to window tile.

Now we have all three. Let's section this one upward so we're looking at the second level. There we go.
I might have to zoom in and draw a pipe. It's not quite aligned, so use the AL (Align) command. Okay, next.
Let's go to this sprinkler here. We will bring that section over. We need to pull it up because this branch line is higher.
There we are. Draw a pipe. Let's come down.
- Okay, let’s go to the next sprinkler here. The branch line is high.
Sometimes you have to zoom in, draw a pipe, and bring it down. AL. Align.
Okay, so that is this row.
