"The repetition of functions rather than the repetition of sketches
avoid accessories (bolts among others)
avoid symmetries, external refs etc... "
It makes me happy when you write like that @gt22. Recalling the fundamentals... which are wrongly forgotten sometimes!
For piping, no opinion on the question: I've never used. Does it also lend itself to rectangular ducts like @Joss.G?
computer property of the system you will find what is in your PC

For the Speedpak, you have to select all the components or faces that can be used for constraints or measurements.
And yes, nothing prevents you from going through piping
A rectangular sheath is just a rectangular sketch stretched
A tube is just a circular sketch to stretch
You have to create your own library of pipes and configure it as needed

@Benoit, Harf, so the speedpack is not a tool that will be useful to me because in fact, all the faces of my building are likely to be used to position my ducts!!
@gt22, And for piping, what you describe to me strongly resembles mechanically welded when you talk about a stretched circular / rectangular sketch ;-)
Personally, I use mechanically welded for my networks. I integrate some library functions for parts such as reductions, registers... And that's it!
