Displays properties for conduit nozzles. A conduit nozzle, or port, defines the connection location between a conduit 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 conduit 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.
Behavior Controlled by User
Specifies whether you can delete the object or not. Select False to prevent anyone from deleting the object from the model.

Specifies the type of construction for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Construction Type select list in Catalog.
Created by
Specifies the name of the person who created the object.

Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.
Distribution Port Status
Specifies the distribution port status for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Distribution Port Status select list in Catalog.
Distribution Port Type
Specifies the distribution port type for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Distribution Port Type select list in Catalog.
End Practice
Specifies the end practice for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the End Standard select list in Catalog.
End Standard
Specifies the end standard code for the part port. To change the options on the list, edit the End Standard select list in Catalog.
Fabrication Requirement
Specifies the fabrication requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Fabrication Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Driven
Specifies that a rule drives the value. This is the default option. Click to switch to User Driven .
User Driven
Allows you to select a value. Click to switch to Rule Driven .
Flange or Hub Outside Diameter
Specifies the outside diameter of the hub for the object.
Flange or Hub Thickness
Specifies the thickness of the hub for the nozzle.
Hyperlink
Specifies the URL or local file path associated with the object. Click the hyperlink to open the page or object in your default browser. Point to the hyperlink to display the URL or path as a tooltip.
Description
Specifies the descriptive text associated with the hyperlink.
URL
Specifies the web address or local file name associated with the hyperlink. The URL must include the protocol, such as http: or https:, as well as the domain name. For example, https://hexagonppm.com/.
IsConnected
Indicates whether the nozzle is connected.
Last Modified By
Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.
Name
Specifies the name of the object.
Nominal Size
Specifies the nominal diameter and unit associated with the conduit.
NCD
Specifies the nominal diameter (NCD) of the object. Select a value from the list, or type a value in the text box. If you type an unsupported or invalid value, the box displays a red border and the corresponding error message, listed below.
Current port configuration does not return valid Nominal Size values.
NCD Unit Type
Specifies the units for the NCD value. Select mm or in from the list.
Nozzle Length
Specifies the measurement for the nozzle length.
Orientation
Specifies the orientation for the object with respect to the local coordinate system. Use the Bearing, Pitch, and Roll properties to change the orientation of the selected object.
Permission Group
Specifies the permission group to which the object belongs. You can select another permission group, if needed. Permission groups are created in Project Management.
Piping Point Basis
Specifies the piping point basis code that identifies the function of the port. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Piping Point Basis sheet in the Codelist Number column.
Placement Type
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.
N3
Specifies the radial distance to the hub centerline. 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 measured 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.
Port Index
Specifies the index number for the port.
Position
Specifies the intersection point of the object to the axis. Use the East, North, and Elevation properties to change the position.
Reporting Requirement
Specifies the reporting requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Reporting Type select list in Catalog.
Reporting Type
Specifies the type of reporting. To change the options on the list, edit the Reporting Type select list in Catalog.
Schedule Practice
Specifies the schedule practice for the nozzle.
Schedule Thickness
Specifies the schedule thickness short description or code for the part port. To change the options on the list, edit the Schedule Thickness select list in Catalog.
Wall Thickness or Groove Setback
Specifies the thickness of the wall for the nozzle.
