Identify Penetration Shape

An equipment penetration can be created only if the equipment contains an extrusion that has been nominated as the penetration profile. The shape of the hole is determined by the shape of the penetration profile. The penetration profile can be created at a drawing level that is not normally displayed in the 3D view or on a drawing.

In the Equipment and Design Template applications, on the Equipment tab, in the Tools group, click Penetration Profile to allow an existing extrusion element to be identified as the penetration profile. The list on the window displays all extrusions in the current equipment or design template that are valid shapes for the hole management system.

Select an extrusion in the list to display the outline of the profile even if the extrusion is not currently displayed. When a suitable extrusion has been selected, click Select as penetration profile. A tick next to an extrusion in the list displays that this is currently selected to be the penetration profile.

Click OK on the window to create port elements in the equipment or design template which identifies the selected penetration profile to the hole management system.
