On a typical project, pipes are routed horizontally and vertically, but it may be necessary for designers to include pipes which slope at angles between components (falling pipes). Piping sets the leave direction of a component to achieve a given slope in the pipe connecting it to the next component, which is valid only for a branch element and a component whose geometry involves a change of direction and have a variable angle, such as an elbow.
Use the dual purpose window Slope Pipe window to view the details of the Current Element (CE) and if required define and apply a slope to any number of branches contained within the pipe element.
Note:
There is functionality to change the slope reference on the slope but it should be
set on the pipe as well and done at the outset.
The window has five panes:
|
3D Preview |
Displays a 3D pictorial representation of the CE, refer to 3D Preview Pane for further information. |
|
Pipe Details |
Displays the details on the CE and the slope to be applied to it, refer to Pipe Details for further information. |
|
Branch Legs |
Displays the details for the branch legs which are contained within the CE, refer to Branch Legs for further information. |
|
Branch leg |
Define the slope for a branch leg, refer to Branch leg for further information. |
|
Anchors |
Displays the details for the anchor points, refer to Anchors for further information. |
Note:
The CE is not actually sloped until Apply is selected.
