Problem:

The translation of Cii support to AutoPIPE produces arrangements that look messy (using a mixture of Inclines and other supports).

Caesar model:

AutoPIPE Model:

 

Solution:

A guide in Caesar Cii model is different to a guide in AutoPIPE, Caesar only has a horizontal guide so an AutoPIPE guide has to map to 2 supports in Caesar
This creates completely wrong behavior of a 'real-world' guide as describe in Non-linear_Guide_explained.pdf

Again, this means when a Caesar file is imported into AutoPIPE each Ceasar guide is actually 2 supports in AutoPIPE.
