Complete the following steps for placing a piping symbol:

  1. Open Smart 3D and navigate to the Piping task.

  2. Click Route Pipe on the vertical toolbar.

  3. Select the run starting point.

    If you select a feature located at the end of an existing run, the software continues the run of the selected feature. If you select an equipment nozzle, a point in space, or a point along a straight feature, the software prompts you to create a new pipe run.

  4. On the New Pipe Run dialog box, type a name for the pipe run. If you do not type a name, the software automatically generates a name. Select the Piping System (Specification IC0031, IC0032, N0, N1) and NPD to be used for placing the pipeline. The NPD and Specification should be the same you used in the bulkload data for the symbol.

  5. Click OK to close the New Pipe Run dialog box.

  6. Select point to end routing of your pipe run.

  7. Click Insert Component on the vertical toolbar to insert a component.

    The Insert Component command adds valves, strainers, laterals, and other components to a pipe run. You can add components either during the routing of a pipe run or after the pipe has been routed.

    The system uses the pipe specification, nominal diameter of the selected pipe run, and the geometry of the insertion point to filter the available components. For example, if the insertion point is not at the end of a pipe run or at an equipment nozzle, turn components are not included in the list of available components. When you insert a component, the software generates any mating and connection parts required to connect the inserted part to the adjacent objects.

    When inserting components, you can use the Tools > Pinpoint and Tools > Point Along commands to position components precisely in a pipe run.

  8. Select the component type and option in the Type and Option boxes.

  9. Click to define the position of the component if you are placing it in a straight feature.

    If needed, change the position of the component using Flip, Reference Position, and Angle options.

  10. Click Finish.

  11. You can check the properties (input parameter values) by selecting the component and selecting Edit > Properties.
