Piping Commands

S3D_Route_Pipe_Command Pipe Command

Creates, models, and extends pipe runs quickly and precisely.

S3D_QuickRoute_Pipe ICON Quick Pipe Command

Joins two existing pipe segments in the model. You can connect the pipe segments by selecting an end feature, a nozzle, a straight feature, an olet, a tee, or a surface mounted component. Also, you can bypass a pipe run by selecting a straight feature, an olet, or a tee. The software displays all possible route paths along the active coordinate system between the selected from and to points.

S3D_Insert_Pipe_Component ICON Pipe Component Command

Places components such as valves, steam traps, strainers, tees, turns, and fire protection items.

Insert Tap Pipe Tap Command

Places a tap on components in the model. A tap is used to drain, vent, or attach an instrument to a piping component.

Modify

Placement Type

Displays all the placement types. The components listed in each placement type are based on the piping specification and nominal diameter of the object selected along with the geometry at the insertion location. The Placement Type depends on the selected component. This is a read-only value.

Specification

Places components based on what is defined in the piping specification.

Instruments

Specifies the piping custom instrument from the catalog.

Specialties

Specifies the piping custom specialties from the catalog.

Catalog Tags

Currently not implemented.

Design Basis Tags

Currently not implemented.

Short Code

Specifies the short code associated with the object.

Option Code

Displays the option for the selected component. In addition, the Option list contains any options defined in the piping specification for the selected short code. Selecting a value from the Option list updates the objects.

Piping Instrument

Specifies the part number of the selected piping custom instrument.

To modify the custom instrument part number, you can do one of the following:

  • Type the custom instrument part number

  • Select the most recently used custom instrument part number from the list

  • Search for the custom instrument part

  • Click Browse Catalog Com_Browser to select a custom instrument part from the Select from Catalog Dialog.

Piping Specialty

Specifies the part number of the selected piping custom specialty.

To modify the custom specialty part number, you can do one of the following:

  • Type the custom specialty part number

  • Select the most recently used custom specialty part number from the list

  • Search for the custom specialty part

  • Click Browse Catalog Com_Browser to select a custom specialty part from the Select from Catalog Dialog.

Position and Orientation

Flip

Changes the orientation of the component port that is connected to the selected port. Select the port from the Flip list or select Flip and cycle through the ports to locate the port to flip. The selected port highlights in the graphic view.

By default, Flip is unavailable.

Length

Specifies the object length.

Com_Move ICON Move

Moves the selected object.

S3D_Point_Start ICON Move From Position (Ctrl + T)

Specifies the point from which to start the move.

S3D_Point_End ICON Move To Position (T)

Specifies the point at which to finish the move.

S3D_Grids_CoordinateSystems_XYZ No Constraint (CTRL + 6)

Objects are free to move in any direction.

S3D_CartesianCoordinate_East_X ICON East

Y-axis and Z-axis coordinates are locked. Object moves freely along the X-axis.

Y Axis ICON North

X-axis and Z-axis coordinates are locked. Object moves freely along the Y-axis.

S3D_CartesianCoordinate_Elevation_Z ICON Elevation

X-axis and Y-axis coordinates are locked. Object moves freely along the Z-axis.

Plane Elevation Elevation Plane (CTRL + 1)

Z-axis coordinate is locked. Object moves freely in the X-Y coordinate plane.

Plane East-West East-West Plane (CTRL + 3)

X-axis coordinate is locked. Object moves freely in the Y-Z coordinate plane.

Plane North-South North-South Plane (CTRL + 2)

Y-axis coordinate is locked. Object moves freely in the X-Z coordinate plane.

Rotate (Ctrl + R)

Starts rotation for the selected object. See Rotate equipment.

Press RIGHT and click Rotate to rotate the object 90 degrees clockwise about the active axis.

Press LEFT and click Rotate to rotate the object 90 degrees counter-clockwise about the active axis.

Angle Step

Specifies the angle about the axis that the object rotates when you select Step Rotation S3D_Angle_Step. Enter a value in the Angle Step box or select a blank space in the control panel to remove the input focus from the box.

Press G to set the focus to the active graphic view.

Press CTRL+LEFT to rotate the object clockwise one step about the Axis.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT to rotate the object counter-clockwise one step about the Axis.

S3D_Angle_Step Step Rotation

Rotates the object corresponding to the defined angle one step about the active axis. This control is not available if Angle Step is undefined or is set to zero.

Select a blank space in the control panel to remove the input focus, and then press G to set the focus to the active graphic view.

Press SHIFT to rotate the object counter-clockwise.

S3D_CartesianCoordinate_East_X ICON Active Axis for Rotation (UP arrow)

Specifies the axis about which Smart 3Dx rotates the object. The available options include: S3D_CartesianCoordinate_East_X ICON X-Axis, Y Axis ICON Y-Axis, and S3D_CartesianCoordinate_Elevation_Z ICON Z-Axis.

This option does not display for grids.

S3D_Target_Reposition ICON Reposition Rotate Origin

Moves the rotation triad to a position that you specify. The rotation triad indicates the point about which the rotation occurs. Select a point in the graphic view to specify the new location.

S3D_Target_RepositionToOrigin ICON Reset Rotate Origin

Moves the rotation triad origin to the origin of the selected object.

If keyboard shortcuts are not working when you move or rotate objects, select the application title bar to reset the focus. Smart 3Dx indicates focus by displaying the bright blue border.

Slope

Displays the slope options for the pipe leg which consists of the end feature.

S3D_Slope Slope

Indicates that the pipe leg is sloped. By default, Slope is read-only.

S3D_Default_Slope Minimum Slope

Specifies the minimum slope value for the pipe run. You cannot type a slope value that is less than the Minimum Slope specified for the pipe run. Click Minimum Slope S3D_Default_Slope to replace the slope value with the Minimum Slope value. Hover over the Minimum Slope S3D_Default_Slope glyph to display the minimum slope of the pipe run.

Slope

Specifies the slope value. Select a value from the list or type the slope value in the Slope box. You can change the units of measure for the slope using Menu Choose Columns ICON > Options Dialog > Units of Measure.

SHARED Tip Typing 0 degree or 90 degrees in the Slope box adds the Horizontal and Vertical options to the list.

Lock or Com_Unlock ICON Unlock Slope

Toggles the Slope box between locked and unlocked Com_Unlock ICON modes. To lock the Slope box, type a value, and then press Enter.

Run

Displays read-only information about the parent run.
