This section describes the commands used to draw pipes. The values that can be specified for pipes are listed below. Pipe Type: The type of pipe being used. The list of pipe types available can be customized. See the Pipe Types section for more information. Starting Elevation: The starting elevation of the pipe. The reference point for the starting elevation of the pipe is set by the Vertical Alignment. See the Elevation section for more information. Ending Elevation: The ending elevation of the pipe. The reference point for the ending elevation of the pipe is set by the Vertical Alignment. See the Elevation section for more information. Vertical Alignment: Specifies the reference point used for the Starting Elevation and Ending Elevation.
Horizontal Alignment: Specifies the reference point for the pipe construction line.
Exterior Insulation: Whether the pipe has exterior insulation. Check this box to specify the width of the insulation. The pipe size will include the insulation when drawn in 3D. The insulation is not drawn in 2D. Pipe Size: The size of the pipe. The list of pipe sizes available can be customized. See the Pipe Sizes section for more information.
Sizing Table: The table used to calculate the size of the pipe if Pipe Size is set to Sized Automatically. See the Pipe Sizing Tables section for more information.
Layer System: See the Layer System section for more information. Transparent: The pipe will not be drawn. This setting is useful when you need to draw a custom fitting or piece of equipment in your pipe system. A transparent pipe inserted through the custom graphic keeps the flow connected and allows you to draw the graphics necessary for your design. Include P-Trap: Whether a p-trap is automatically drawn on this fixture when shown in an isometric diagram. Distance to Farthest Fixture: The longest pipe run from this section of pipe. If the Pipe Calculations command has not been run for the system, this value will display as 0. Maximum Height: The maximum height of any pipe in this pipe system. The values that can be specified for pipes are listed below. Pipe Flow Category: The type of flow conveyed by the pipe. See the Pipe Flow Categories section for more information about editing pipe flow category settings. Fixed Values: The flow for each category for a specific section of pipe. Calculated Values: The total flow for each category in this section of pipe. Starting Floor: The floor on which the riser starts. Elevation: The elevation of the riser on the starting floor. Ending Floor: The floor on which the riser ends. Ending Floor Elevation: The elevation of the riser on the ending floor. |
