Modifying the System Assigned to a Pipe
1
Select a pipe segment in the pipe run.
2
on page 325, select a system.
NOTE
Alternatively, you change the system by clicking Pipe tab
➤
Modify panel
➤
Modify Run
.
3
(Optional) You can also use the
Modify Run
update the connected pipe segments
along the designated pipe run.
Modifying a Pipe Fitting
You can modify a fitting. For example, you can change an elbow from a standard radius to a long radius.
However, you cannot change it to another type — for example, an elbow to a cross.
1
Select the pipe fitting.
2
on page 325, click the part image next to Part.
3
In the Select a Part dialog, choose a part from the catalog.
4
Select Display/Hide additional parameters to expand the contents of the parameters table.
5
Under Filter by Dimensions, filter the list of parts.
NOTE
The
part catalogs and content locations
determine the parts that you can add.
6
Select a part size and then click OK.
NOTE
If you specify a fitting size that is different from the objects connected to the fitting, you can
modify the connected pipe segments in the pipe run
on page 329.
7
On the Properties palette, under Placement, specify an elevation.
NOTE
If you are inserting a fitting in an existing pipe run, you do not need to specify the elevation.
The fitting inherits both the elevation and system from the pipe run when you insert it.
Modifying the Layout of a Flexible Pipe
1
Select the flexible pipe segment.
2
on page 325, expand Advanced, and then expand Geometry.
3
Click the left or right arrows at Vertex directly under Geometry to toggle to the desired location
along the spline.
NOTE
This procedure uses the spline segment mode.
4
Specify values for the X, Y, and Z vertices.
For a flexible pipe that was drawn using any of the segment modes (line, arc, or spline), you can use
to move the location of control points.
1
Select the flexible pipe segment.
2
to move the segment to a new location.
