Modify Penetration

In each of the applications that have a Penetrations menu, there is a menu command that displays the Hole Management - Definition window if the status of the penetration allows the user to modify the selected penetration, for example Utilities > Pipe Penetration > Modify in the Piping application.

Adding a new Penetrating Item

1. The Add option allows new penetrating items to be added to an existing penetration.

   

2. Clicking on the Add option displays the Add Penetration window:

   

3. When you click Pick Penetrated Items, you will be prompted to identify one or more penetrating items to add to the Managed Hole currently being modified.

4. Clicking on OK calculates the position of the penetration for each new item and returns to the Hole Management Definition window where the new penetrating items are added to the existing managed hole. If the Managed Hole being modified is a single penetration, it will be converted to a merged penetration. The Hole Management Definition window is then used to modify the definition of the managed hole to include the requirements of the new penetrating items.

Modifying a Room Application Door or Window Managed Hole

5. To modify a room application door or window managed hole, right click on the association on the Hole Association Manager window and select Modify Definition from the menu.

   

6. This provides no feedback unless the Modify command finds a problem that prevents it from changing the hole shape and location requirement that will be a requested by the Room application user.

Seal Plates

7. Standard Seal Plates can be defined for a penetration by making the Virtual Hole (FIXING) element the current element and selecting the Seal Plates menu command, for example Utilities > Pipe Penetration > Seal Plates in the Piping application. Seal Plates cannot be defined for user defined hole shapes.

   

8. Seal plates can only be defined for standard hole types, and for planar panels. Seal plates cannot be defined for curved panels or user defined hole shapes.
