Piping Commands

Pipe Command

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

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.

Pipe Component Command

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

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.

General

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, displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, displays. If you enter a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Base/Mating Parts

Displays whether the selected object is a base part or a mating part.

Tag

Specifies a tag that identifies the object.

Pipe Component Preview

Displays a detailed preview of the piping part and its dimensions.

Modify

Placement Type
