Zero-length Bends at Tees and OLETs

When modelling falling lines containing Butt Weld Tees or OLETs, the user can position a zero-length variable-angle bend at the off-line p-point of each Tee or OLET. The use of zero-length bends allows the user to connect a vertical Branch to a falling line. To suppress the output of skewbox dimensions at zero-length bends in these circumstances, use the command ZEROLENGTHSKEWS.

The default setting ZEROLENGTHSKEWS ON, which displays Tees and OLETs and the effect of specifying ZEROLENGTHSKEWS OFF are shown in the Suppressing skewboxes at Tees and OLETs image.

Note: Bends at Tees or OLETs will only be considered as zero-length if they are less than 0.5mm long. Bends with dimensions greater than this will be detailed as normal components.
