Equipment Trims for Material Take Off

Unconnected items cannot be drawn automatically as part of a system isometric, vessel or equipment trim. However, drawings consisting of a drawing frame, user-positioned text and a material list can be produced for material take off. The graphical part of the drawing can then be added separately if required.

Groups of components such as blanking flanges, level gauges, relief valves, ., may be modelled on the basis of one Pipe per Nozzle, or per group of Nozzles if connected (such as a level gauge piped between two Nozzles). Disconnected branches in the same pipe on different nozzles cannot be grouped. The collection of pipes may then be detailed as equipment trim.

By default, item numbering in the material list will start at 1 for each Nozzle. To get continuous numbering throughout the sequence of Nozzles, use the EQUIPMENTNUMBERING command.
