Assembly Build Origin

The final option available for plane splitting is the assembly build point; determine whether to build to the primary or secondary origin of the assembly, choose from the Assembly build origin drop-down list.

The primary and secondary origin points allows some control over where the assembly is positioned relative to the splitting point.

One of the most common types of assembly used in pipe splitting are a set of break flanges where the relevant points for positioning the assembly are on either flange face. In this case the primary origin point would be defined as the leave point (upstream flange face) and the secondary origin would be defined as being the arrive point (downstream flange face). Displayed below is a representation of the splitting procedure:
