@j-c-cook could you give me some pointers here?

ValueError: Pipes must be entirely contained within the borehole. Pipe 0 is partly or entirely outside the borehole.

NM. Shank spacing, s, is the nearest pipe to pipe distance referenced from the pipe outside surfaces.

This note should be clarified.
