Modifies the properties associated with a selected pipe run.

General

Parent System

Specifies the parent system for the object. Recently used systems that are appropriate to assign as the parent system for this object display in the list along with the Select from Workspace and Select from Model options. The most recently used system displays at the top.

The parent system of the object must have an Approval Status of Working before you can change the Parent System value. If the Approval Status of the parent system is not set to Working, this value is read-only.

Select Interactively

Turns on or off the interactive selection. When this option is on, you can select the parent object in a graphic view or any of the explorers.

Select from Workspace ICON Select from Workspace

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Workspace tab open. The workspace is the subset of the active model database you specified when you started your design session. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then select OK.

Select from Model ICON Select from Model

Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Model tab open. The model is all the objects in the active model database, including those that are not part of your workspace. Navigate the hierarchy to select the parent system, and then select OK.

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

Position and Orientation

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.

Fast move

Displays a preview of the selected objects in a three-dimensional dark green outline attached to the cursor. This option enhances performance when working with large select sets.

  • Smart 3Dx generates the move set based on the connections and relationships in the model. The software automatically applies Fast move to a select set that contains:

    • An object that does not support computed previews.

    • More than one thousand objects.

  • The Fast move check box remains clear when the software applies the mode automatically.

Rotate (Ctrl + R)

Starts rotation for the selected object. See Rotate equipment for one example of how to use these controls.

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

Press LEFT and select 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.

Com_ManageProperties ICON Mandatory Properties

Specification

Specifies the pipe specification to control the pipe run. Only those pipe specifications that are allowed in the pipeline that you selected appear. You assign pipe specifications to pipeline systems in the System and Specifications task. You define pipe specifications in the reference data. See the Piping Reference Data for more information on defining pipe specifications.

Nominal Diameter

Specifies the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) to use for this pipe run. The pipe specification controls the available NPDs in this list. If you select an equipment nozzle as the starting point of your pipe run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the pipe run. You can select the NPD units to display on a session file basis using the Menu Com_Menu > Options Command on the Units of Measure Tab (Options Dialog).

Service Limits

When you select a Specification and Nominal Diameter, the software automatically retrieves the temperature service limits according to the rules defined in the catalog. The software also calculates the maximum pressure limit based on the Temperature, Specification and Nominal Diameter. Edit the various service limit combinations as needed. If your pipe specifications are material-driven, we still recommend that you specify at least one set of temperature and pressure values for the pipe run.

Minimum Slope

Minimum Slope is not available when you modify a pipe run.

CADWorx_Insulation_Manager Insulation Properties

Insulation Type

Specifies the type of the insulation. To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Purpose select list in Catalog.

Insulation Specification

Select the insulation specification for the run. Available insulation specifications are defined in the reference data.

Insulation Material

Specifies the material of the insulation. If Insulation Specification is set to use the insulation defined by the equipment object, this field cannot be changed. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, select the insulation material from those available from the reference data.

The list contains the last five insulation materials selected. Select More to browse the catalog for the insulation material to use. If you set this field to Not Insulated, the Insulation Thickness field is disabled. If you set this field to Use Run Material, the along leg feature inherits the insulation material from the duct run.

To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Material select list in Catalog.

Insulation Purpose

Specifies the purpose of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in the Insulation Purpose box. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, you can select the purpose of the insulation in this box. If Insulation Specification is a selected reference data insulation specification, the software reads the purpose from the insulation specification from the reference data and displays it here.

To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Purpose select list in Catalog.

Insulation Temperature

Specifies the temperature. Include the temperature unit of measure (K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example) when specifying this value.

Insulation Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the insulation.

Piping

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the value in the Insulation Thickness box. However, if you manually entered the insulation specification, you must provide a corresponding insulation thickness value as per the specification. If you selected an insulation specification from the available list, the software automatically displays the corresponding thickness value as per the specification.

HVAC

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Material box, this property is unavailable.

Completion

Com_Cancel Cancel (ESC)

Cancels all changes and exits the command.

Finish (CTRL + ENTER)

Saves all changes and exits the command.

Finish Modify ICON Finish and Modify (SHIFT + ENTER)

Saves all changes, and then selects the objects for modification.

To Do List Indicators

A To Do List indicator displays in the top right corner of the Modify dialog when you select one or more objects that are on the To Do List. The icons that display are the same icons used in the To Do List Dialog (SHIFT + T), and the Modify dialog displays the most critical status (Error Com_Attention ICON, Out -of Date Com_Pending, and Warning Com_Warning). Select the icon on the Modify dialog to open the To Do List Dialog (SHIFT + T) and make the necessary corrections.

Com_Attention ICON Error

Indicates a serious problem.

Com_Pending Out of Date

Indicates that the related business object could not be processed. For example, the user does not have Write access to the object.

Com_Warning Warning

Indicates a problem that might not be serious, but still needs to be checked.

Locked Objects

Locked

Indicates one of the following situations:

  • You do not have Write permissions to one or more objects.

  • One or more of the selected objects is not in a working state.

    Set the Approval State property to Working, and you must have Write permissions to the object. Otherwise, you cannot modify the selection.
