The Segments summary lists the Pipe_segment table records that represent the physical pipe that make up the pipeline. It also provides additional information about the individual pipe segments that constitute the pipeline.
Note: This does not include stub-sized records. Stub-sized records are records that have a length of 0.01 and a capacity of 0.01. These do not represent physical pipe locations and are only used to reference, batchxfer, or virtualflowcomputer records where the exact location matters.
Selecting the row header on the Segments summary will open the Pipe Segment Control window.

The following table details the items on the Segment summary.
