The following graphics demonstrate the Quick Pipe 
paths on various planes.
Smart 3Dx computes the paths along the active coordinate axes.
Same axis: If both from and to end points lie along the same axis, Smart 3Dx displays only Join Direct 
.

Same plane: If the from and to end points exist in the same plane, Smart 3Dx displays the following options:
