  1. Use the Pipe Measurement list on the Point Cloud toolbar to turn off Show Fitted Pipes. The fitted cylinders are useful for seeing the accuracy of the fit calculations, but now only the centerlines are needed.

  2. In the Detail window, sketch the pipe layout as it appears in the point cloud. For more information about routing and placing components, see Route Pipe and Place Components.

    SHARED Tip To determine the bore size to use for pipe routing, place the mouse cursor over one of the fitted cylinders. The software displays the calculated outside diameter (OD) and the nominal size (Bore) as defined in the currently active piping specification.

    • Set the point cloud viewpoint so that it matches the isometric area. For example, if the North arrow points to the top left, use the Standard View command to set the viewpoint to Iso North: Top Left.

    • While sketching the pipeline model, the currently active Smart Isometrics pipe specification controls many of the default settings, such as the default branch component.

  3. Continue using the component placement commands to add any fittings that you can identify in the point cloud to finish the pipeline model.

    When fittings are butted up together, use the Properties window to set Ignored Tube to True. This represents the logical connection between the fittings, and the pipe does not appear in the final Isogen-generated drawing.

  4. Click File > Save to save the new piping data file. Saving this file effectively creates a reference to the selected point cloud data object.

  5. Using the data in the Point Cloud Measurements window, transfer the measurements as needed to fully define the pipeline.
