Provides options to view and edit a control point in the model.

Properties

Displays the control point properties.

Parent object

Specifies an object associated with the control point. You can select from the last five parent objects. You can also click Select Graphically to select an object in a graphic view, or click More to select an object from a tree view.

Type

Specifies the appropriate category of point. You choose an option from a select list. The Catalog task is the primary tool for defining select lists. For more information, see the Catalog User's Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

Subtype

Provides a further breakdown for the type of control point. As in the Type box, you choose an option from a select list. Possible subtypes are Process Equipment, Mechanical Equipment, Foundation, Structure, Pipe Mfg Limit Point, Spool Break, Duct Break Point, WBS Pipe Break - Fabrication, WBS Break Point Type 1, WBS Break Point Type 2, WBS Break Point Type 3, WBS Break Point Type 4, WBS Pipe Break - Stress, WBS Break Point Type 5, WBS Pipe Break - Tracing, WBS Pipe Break - Generic, WBS Pipe Break - System, Elevation Callout, Ad Hoc Note, CAD Detail, Key Plan Callout, Support Notes, Isometric Reference Dimension, Isometric Start Point, and Pipe Stress Delimiter.

  • You can use control point subtypes to classify the control point for use in drawings and reports. For more information, see Control Point Subtype Sheet in the Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

  • Control point subtypes are used in drawings in several ways. They can indicate a point on a piece of equipment or a structure to be used in dimensioning. The subtype can indicate the position of a grating symbol on a structure planning drawing. Another way the subtype is used is to place notes at a very specific point on an object, making the control point drawable so it can be labeled.

Name

Identifies the control point with a name, which you can define, or use the selection that a rule defines. The GenericNamingRules.xls workbook lists the naming rules used in the software. For more information about naming rules, see the Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

E

Displays the coordinate of the control point along the E-axis (East).

N
