Displays properties for pipe elbow nozzles. A pipe nozzle, or port, defines the connection location between a pipe run and a piece of equipment. The software automatically places a connection part based on the default part listed in the catalog. The part generation depends on the connecting end preparations and the pipe run properties.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

Specifies a location type for the nozzle. The following location types are available for nozzles:
Radial
Straight nozzle with nozzle centerline on the radial plane.
Tangential
Straight nozzle on the radial plane, but the nozzle centerline does not intersect the vessel axis.
Axial
Straight nozzle normal to radial plane.
Skew
Straight nozzle that is tilted from both the radial plane and the vessel axis.
Axial Elbow
Elbow nozzle with hub centerline normal to the radial plane.
Radial Elbow
Elbow nozzle placed with the hub radial to the vessel axis.
Offset Radial Elbow
Elbow nozzle placed with the hub tangential to the vessel axis.
Offset Skew
Skew nozzle with a parallel offset in the radial plane.
Position by Plane and Axis
Places the nozzle at the intersection of the selected plane and axis. Available only for nozzles that have the same shape or design solid as the orientation reference.
Position by Point
Places the nozzle at the location you select with respect to the active coordinate system. Available with all Nozzles including PipePort (No Added Graphic) and HvacPort (No Added Graphic).
N1
Specifies the axial distance from the reference point along the x-axis.
N2
Specifies the distance from the reference object point to the face of the nozzle or port. This is an unsigned offset along the positive direction of the radial.
OR1
Specifies the angle around the reference object point measured from the y-axis of the object (y-axis is 0°) or the Y-axis of the coordinate system.
OR1 measure to Active Coordinate System North
Calculates the OR1 angle value with respect to the active coordinate system north. This property is available when the X-axis of the orientation reference is parallel to the Z-axis of the active coordinate system. If a nozzle satisfies this condition, select OR1 measured to Active Coordinate System North and finish the command to save the new value in the session preferences. The next time you select or create a nozzle, the software calculates the OR1 angle value based the last saved preference. Because this is a session preference, this value applies to all of the nozzles in the System Hierarchy Explorer.
OR2
Specifies the orientation of the flange center line as rotated about the vessel axis, starting from the radial arrow.
Position
