Displays properties for pipe generic occurrences. If the destination catalog is missing certain component specification data during MDR or when you copy a model across different catalogs, the software replaces such components with pseudo parts called Generic Piping Components (GPCs). GPCs help maintain the piping design intent.
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.
Branch Reporting Ownership
Specifies the reporting condition for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Branch Reporting select list in Catalog.
-
Branch owns branch component (number 5) indicates that Smart 3Dx reports the branch component with the rest of the branch.
-
Header owns branch component (number 10) indicates that Smart 3Dx reports the branch component with the header to which it connects.
Branch Reporting Ownership Type Basis
Specifies who set the branch reporting ownership. This could be a user or Smart 3Dx. This option is used by the software when an administrator synchronizes the model with the catalog. The list is defined by the FabricationTypeBasis codelist.
Commodity Class
Specifies the commodity class of the source component.
Component Type
Specifies the commodity type short code for the generic piping component.
Construction Requirement
Specifies the construction requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Construction Requirement select list in Catalog.
Contractor Commodity Code
Specifies the commodity code of the source component.
Created by
Specifies the name of the person who created the object.
Date Created
Specifies the creation date of the object.
Date Last Modified
Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.
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 .
Face 1 to Center
Specifies the length from the port 1 face to center of the component.
Face 2 to Center
Specifies the length from the port 2 face to center of the component.
Face to Center
Specifies the distance from the face of the port to the center of the part.
Face to Face
Specifies the distance from the port 1 face to the port 2 face.
Geometry Type
Specifies the geometry type code for the generic piping. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the GeometryType sheet in the Codelist Number column.
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/.
Is Base Part
Specifies whether the object is a base part.
Last Modified by
Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.
Long Material Description
Specifies the material description of the source component.
Maximum Outer Diameter
Specifies the component's maximum outer diameter for the piping port.
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, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Parent System
Specifies the parent system for the object. Recently used systems that are appropriate to assign as the parent system for this object as well as the Select from Workspace and Select from Model options display in the list. 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
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 click OK.
Select from Model
Displays the Select Parent System Dialog with the Model tab open. The model is all of 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 click OK.
Part Class Name
Specifies the part class name of the generic piping component.
Part Definition
Specifies the part information for the object, the properties, and their values, as defined in the reference data. For information about the information defined in the reference data, see the appropriate Reference Data Help.
Reporting Requirement
Specifies the reporting requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Reporting Type select list in Catalog.
Short Material Description
Specifies the material description of the source component.
