Zusammenfassung:	An improved method for designing the route of a transport element, such as a tube, is provided. The method preferably designs the route automatically and, by utilizing path constraints in the design of the route, as opposed to during a post design check, ensures that the resulting route complies with the various path constraints. In addition, the method of the present invention may establish a selection criterion to evaluate a plurality of feasible routes of the transport element that each comply with the path constraints such that a preferred or optimal route may be designed.
