Connections Details

The Connection Details functionality is available for selection when a schematic equipment element is linked to a 3D equipment element or a E3D equipment element that is linked to a schematic equipment element.

The Equipment Connections window is populated with the nozzles and electrical connections on the schematic equipment, and the 3D equipment. The Link columns are populated with which connections are linked between the schematic and 3D model. The window is also populated with the piping and HVAC nozzles and electrical connections. It also lists connections that are direct to the equipment elements using the ECRFA and ELCXRF reference array attributes.

Use the Equipment Connections window, to change the specification reference of a nozzle, the Pipework Nozzle Specification or the HVAC Nozzle windows are displayed as appropriate. Or to create new nozzles or electrical connections and delete existing ones.

To change which 3D connection is linked to a particular schematic connection, select the schematic connection in the Schematic Equipment list, select the 3D connection in the 3D Equipment list, then select Set Link.

If the schematic connection is already linked to another 3D connection, the following occurs:

• The link is removed from that connection and set on the selected connection.

• The connection is unnamed and the name is set on the selected connection.

• If that connection was auto-built in the last Build action during this session, it is deleted.
