I must admit that I really enjoyed this module. Although I encountered a minor hiccup early on in my plumbing system design process, I was able to diagnose the problem and address it within a reasonable amount of time (unlike the HVAC system design process). At first, I approached this assignment by attempting to utilize the installed functions, such as copy and paste, but every time I attempted to paste plumbing elements, I found that they would not line up correctly and it stressed me out more than starting from scratch. So, instead, I decided to optimize this learning opportunity by doing just that — starting from scratch — on designing the other half of the plumbing system. It felt very satisfying when connecting the pipes to the plumbing fixtures and I am happy that I will be able to apply most of what I have learnt within this module to my building design.
