PVC_Pipe_and_Fittings_Library: Created FreeCAD cad file for a PVC elbowFile:Pvc-elbow-test-60deg.fcstd. Created FreeCAD marco File:Add-elbow.fcmacro to add an elbow to the active document.
Problems:
- I cannot make an union of three elbow parts.
- FreeCAD sweep-function cannot sweep a complex sketch -- for example with two circles. Spitting sketch into multiple sketches helped.
TODO:
Add gui to the macro and find standard dimensions for the elbows.

PVC_Pipe_and_Fittings_Library: Created FreeCAD file for a PVC pipe File:Pvc-pipe-nps-sch40-1d8.fcstd. Created FreeCAD Marco File:Pvc-pipe-nps.fcmacro to add 40 or 80 schedule PVC pipes. Useful links: OSE_Part_Library, PVC_Pipe.
Problems:
- I have no experience with FreeCAD macros and Python GUI-Library. The macro code is experimental. I do not know how to integrate my macro into FreeCAD .
Questions:
- There is a note in the wiki-editor "Please note that all contributions to Open Source Ecology are considered to be released under the CreativeCommons". But I would like to release some of my code under public domain license. Is it OK?
- Where I enter hours, which I spent for the project?

I spent time looking for information about pipes. I tried to find answer to the questions:
- What are important standards?
- Is PVC really good material? Are there some environment friendlier alternatives?
- What are the appropriate technical terms in German? A verbatim translation PVC-Rohr seems not to a frequent term.
