Sets options for inserting splits into a pipe run.
Pipe Split Feature Properties
Opens the Pipe Split Feature Properties Dialog in which you can define additional properties that are not available on the ribbon bar.
Select Feature
Selects the pipe in which you want to insert a split.
Enter Insertion Point
Defines the location to insert the split.
Run
Displays the name of the pipe run to which the split belongs along with the names of all other runs associated with the same pipeline parent. You can select another pipe run if needed.
<Select Graphically>
Allows you to select an existing run in a graphic view, the Workspace Explorer, or the P&ID View.
<Load More Runs>
Loads all the runs that belong to the parent pipeline system. This option is not available after you load all the runs, or if the parent pipeline system has less than 200 runs.
More
Displays the Select Pipe Run Dialog. Select More to select a pipe run that is associated with a different pipeline.
Weld Joint
Select this option when a welded joint is necessary.
Takedown Joint
Select this option when a takedown joint is necessary.
Feature Break
Select this option to place a feature break. Feature breaks are used to stop heat-tracing, insulation, and coatings at arbitrary locations along a pipe without having to break the pipe into two pipe parts.
Type
Select the type of split component to place. The software generates this list based on the components allowed by the pipe specification for the selected pipe. You can also specify the component that you want to use by selecting Specify Component Tag and then entering the component tag. See the Pipe Specification in Piping Reference Data Help.
Option
Displays the option of the selected split component. In addition, the Option list contains any options defined in the pipe specification for the short code selected in the Type list. Select another value from the Option list to update the object.
Finish
Places the splits using the parameters that you have specified.
Split Mode
Specifies whether to place a single split or multiple splits. Select Single Split to place a single split or feature break at a specified location. Select Multi Split to place splits on straight features at a specified distance apart. You can select a single straight feature or an entire run in this mode. If you select an entire run, the splits are placed at the specified distance apart on each individual straight feature in the run, but not across the entire run itself. The Multi Split option will not place splits on bent pipe. Splits placed using the Multi Split option have no relation to each other after placement. Feature breaks cannot be placed in the Multi Split mode.
Pipe Length
Specifies the distance between the splits. The default distance is the purchased pipe length defined in the piping specification. This option is only available when Split Mode is set to Multi Split.
Reference
Select Start to measure the distance from the start end (the first end that was placed) of the pipe. Select End to measure from the end of the pipe. This option is only available when Split Mode is set to Multi Split.
