Manual creation of multiple start/end points sequentially (S1, E1, S2, E2, …, Sn, En)

Start / End Positions creates multiple start and end points sequentially. Pick an unconnected end of an equipment nozzle as a primitive, or a P-point to define the start, or end, position of the branch to be routed.

1. Select the + button.

2. Define the start element, by selecting an equipment nozzle with an unconnected end.

   

   Note:
   You can also select the down arrow in Start/ End Positions and select Point pick with the assumption that P-points are activated in Object snaps form and can be selected.
   If the selected element is not an equipment nozzle with unconnected end, a warning message will display and prompt the user to pick one with an unconnected end.

   

3. Next, select another equipment nozzle with an unconnected end.

   

4. This creates a new pipe branch with no components.

5. A new row on the Start/ End Positions table displays the connected ends and bore values.

   

6. The prompt repeats the start-end prompts and enables you to define multiple start/end points within the sequence.
