Controls the drawing depiction method used when a vertical branch connection is to be made to a sloping (falling) pipeline using a special zero length bend component. This special bend, which has no length, is used to carry the angle between the vertical branch and the sloping pipeline.
Two drawing methods are available. One method displays a small 2D skew box section between the branch and the main pipe, while the other method does not. In cases where olets are used, a text message indicates the orientation direction if the branch is not developed.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 68:
|
0 |
Display the short tee branch leg section of skewed pipe, display olets with an orientation message instead of a skewed section, and dimension both separately to the connecting pipe. This is the default setting. |
|
1 |
Suppress display of a separate skew section, connect the vertical branch straight into the main pipe, display no orientation message for olets, and include both in a single, inclusive dimension. |
In both instances, the angle between the vertical branch and the sloping (falling)
pipeline are indicated on the isometric drawing.
