Displays the nozzle properties that you can edit. The property name appears on the left side of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid. You can modify these values after the initial placement of the nozzle to reflect exact design needs or deviations from the standard part. If you selected more than one nozzle and then selected the properties command, only the common properties between the selected nozzles appear.
Category
Displays the defined category name for the selected nozzle. This data is retrieved from the Equipment and Furnishings reference data.
Port Type
Specifies the type of port for placement on a selected shape. If the selected port type requires you to define physical dimensions, a picture of the selected port type displays. The picture contains labeled parameters, such as A, B, C, and so forth, that you can define in the Value column of the grid. If the selected port type requires no user-defined physical dimensions, no picture displays. This option does not display when you edit a nozzle that you have already placed in the model.
From catalog
Displays the Select Nozzle Dialog so that you can select an existing nozzle from the Catalog.
The following is a complete list of properties, both common and unique, that can be defined using the Occurrence tab. Initial values are defined in the reference data.

Specifies the thickness of the inside diameter of the object.
Name
Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3D automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Nozzle Length
Specifies the measurement for the nozzle length.
Nominal Size
Specifies the nominal diameter (NCD) of the object. Select a value from the list, or type a value in the text box. If you type an unsupported or invalid value, the box displays a red border and the corresponding error message, listed below.
Current port configuration does not return valid Nominal Size values.
If displays in the box, the NCD for the object is inherited from the parent object to which the object belongs. If the icon does not display, and you need to use the parent object specification from the parent object run, select Use Run NCD. If you have manually selected the part, the NCD of the selected part displays, and you cannot change it.
Nominal Width
Specifies the nominal width of the cable tray object.
Nominal Depth
Specifies the nominal depth of the cable tray port.
NPD Unit Type
Specifies the units for the NPD value. Select mm or in from the list.

Specifies the depth of the nozzle shape.
Shape Width
Specifies the width of the nozzle shape.
Sub Type

Specifies the distance of the connection point from the active coordinate system origin in the east direction.
North
Specifies the distance of the connection point from the active coordinate system origin in the north direction.
Elevation
Specifies the distance of the connection point above or below the active coordinate system origin.
Bearing
Specifies the bearing angle for the object. The Bearing angle is measured between the local x-axis of the object and the Y-axis (North) of the global coordinate system in the XY-plane. The local x-axis is the default axis of primary symmetry for all symbols in the catalog. The bearing measurement direction is clockwise from the active coordinate system North looking in the negative active coordinate system direction; that is, down from 0 to 360 degrees. You can enter negative bearing angles, but the software automatically converts them to the positive equivalents. If the pitch is set to +/- 90 degrees, then the bearing measure displays 0 degrees.
Pitch
Specifies the pitch angle for the object. The Pitch angle measures between the x-axis of the object and the X-axis of the global coordinate system in the XZ-plane. This option sets the reference in the model to a line that is the intersection of the vertical plane through the X-axis of the local coordinate system and the active coordinate system horizontal plane. The angle is measured in the positive direction from the horizontal plane in the active coordinate system up direction regardless of the current bearing. Another way to describe pitch is the rotation of the object about its y-axis. Pitch angles are limited to between -90 degrees and +90 degrees, with 0 indicating horizontal.
Roll
Specifies the roll angle for the object. The Roll angle measures between the local z-axis of the object and the Z-axis of the global coordinate in the YZ-plane. Another way to describe roll is the rotation of the object about its x-axis. This option sets the reference in the model to a line that is perpendicular to the local coordinate system x-axis and in the horizontal plane. Roll angles are measured clockwise from horizontal to the y-axis of the local coordinate system. The roll angle is between 0 and 360 degrees. You can enter negative roll angles, but the software automatically converts them to the positive equivalents. If the pitch is set to +/- 90 degrees, then the reference in the model is the North axis.
