In this section you will learn to sketch centerline routing, to set and change the active
parameter data, to revise piping segments, and to populate the centerlines with graphic
components.
Review Nozzle Data reviews the attribute values for all the nozzles
associated with a specified equipment item. Select Revise Component from
the Piping pull-down menu.
Sketch defines the centerline geometry for a pipeline and defines the
attributes of the piping segment. Select Placement from the Piping pull-
down menu.
Move Vertex moves an identified segment vertex to a new location. You can
move the vertex to any location by keying in delta distances, absolute
distances, or a distance and direction, or by relocating an end point
connected to a nozzle to the current nozzle location. Select Revise
Segment from the Piping pull-down menu.
Delete Vertex deletes a vertex from a piping segment and redraws the
piping segment to reflect the deleted vertex. Select Revise Segment from
the Piping pull-down menu.
Insert Vertex inserts a vertex in a specified segment pipe run. The new
vertex is inserted in the pipeline following the vertex used to identify the
pipeline. Select Revise Segment from the Piping pull-down menu.
Attribute Break creates an attribute break at a point on an existing pipe
segment. Use this command for a change in size, spec, fluid code, or any of
the active segment data. Select Revise Data from the Piping pull-down
menu.
Connect Segments combines two piping segments that have concident
endpoints. Select Revise Data from the Piping pull-down menu.
Revise Segment Data edits the attribute data for all existing pipe segments
in a pipeline in one operation. Select Revise Data from the Piping pull-down
menu. Do NOT revise the NPD if there are any other size changes or
reducers on a pipeline.
Revise Attributes modifies the database attributes or user data associated
with a selected element. Select Revise Data from the Piping pull-down
menu.
Automated Placement automatically places piping commodity items on
existing piping segments. The software recognizes piping which already
exists on the segments. Select Placement from the Piping pull-down menu.
Delete Piping deletes piping components and segments from the active
model. Select Revise Group from the Piping pull-down menu.
