Many people use Bayspace to insert sprinkler heads and connect them with branch lines. Most don't know that you can also have Bayspace draw one pipe from the first head to the last head or draw no pipes at all.
This option is on the second dialog box as seen below.
The One Pipe option is handy for when you are not sure exactly where to run you branch lines. If you choose this option, and leave the pipe where it is, be aware that you can use AutoLine to automatically break the pipe into individual pipes terminating at each head location. In AutoLine choose not to insert riser nipples and leave the Longest Armover length at anything greater than 0 (zero). No need to tempt fate.
The No Pipe option is useful if you want head locations, but want to lay out your own piping scheme for your branch lines eventually.
