So we do a lot of concrete lined and coated pipe... I've been asked to start including that detail in the drawings and for total weights. I know SW has the covering options for routing, and was hoping that was going to be my savior. Unfortunately adding multiple coverings just stacks them on the OD of the pipe. Making a custom covering with concrete material properties seems to work great as far as the weight goes though. Is there a way to get a covering to line the inside of pipe? Has anyone tried this? Also, the covering protrudes into the flanges, which makes for some ugly section views

Another issue... the crosshatching for the covering material doesn't seem to be showing correctly. The material is set to the sand crosshatch but just shows steel hatch lines. That's obviously an easy change, but just trying to eliminate as much work as possible
