FALLSKEWS

Function:

Controls how dimensioning boxes for skewed and falling pipelines are shown.

Description:

Dimensioning boxes for skewed and falling pipelines are by default shown by 3D skewboxes, that is, boxes showing the horizontal skew and the fall. Skewed and falling pipelines with rates of fall less than the current fall (set by the FALLINGLINES command) can be shown as a 2D skewbox for the horizontal skew and a fall indicator showing the amount of fall.

Skewboxes can be suppressed completely for branches containing less than a specified number of components. Skew box suppression applies only until a change of direction is encountered.

Examples:

FALLSkews THREEDbox ON

Displays skewed and falling lines with 3D boxes. This is the default.

FALLSkews TWODbox ON

Displays skewed and falling lines with 2D boxes for the horizontal skew and a FALL indicator giving the amount of fall.

FALLSkews TWODbox OFF 4

Displays skews as 2D boxes (with FALL indicators), but omits boxes on branch legs which have four or less components.

Note: This component count excludes gaskets but includes each length of implied tubing. The number of components must be between 1 and 50 inclusive.
