This section describes the options available in the Pipe Graphics group in the Design Master Plumbing Options dialog box.
Break width: When two pipes cross, a break is automatically inserted on the pipe at a lower elevation. This value determines the width of the break, in inches on the printed page.
Vertical pipe drafting method: How vertical pipes are drawn.
| • | To scale: Vertical pipe graphics are inserted at the size indicated. The size is not dependent upon the scale of the drawing. For example, a 3" pipe will be inserted as a 3" circle. |
| • | To scale with minimum: Vertical pipe graphics are inserted at the size indicated when above the minimum size specified in the Minimum vertical pipe diameter field. For example, pipes below 2" in diameter will be drawn with a 2" circle to make them easier to see when printed; a 4" pipe will still be inserted as a 4" circle. |
| • | Not to scale: Vertical pipe graphics are drawn at the size specified in the Not to scale vertical pipe diameter field, regardless of the diameter of the pipe. |
Minimum vertical pipe diameter: If Vertical pipe drafting method is set to To scale with minimum, vertical pipes with a diameter below this value will be drawn as a circle with this value as the diameter.
Not to scale vertical pipe diameter: If Vertical pipe drafting method is set to Not to scale, vertical pipes will be drawn as a circle with this value as the diameter.
P-trap width: The width at which p-traps are drawn, in inches on the printed page.
Default exterior lining width: When a new pipe is created, the exterior insulation is set to this value. See the Common Pipe Information section for more information.
