CHAPTER 2


2 Piping in AVEVA E3D™ (Basic Concepts)

2.1 Setting Up the Training Course

Login to AVEVA E3D using the details provided by the Trainer. They will typically be as shown below:

Project: Training

User: A.PIPER

Password: A

MDB: A-PIPING

Click the Model tile.

On the Tools tab, in the Training group, click the Setup button to display the TrainingSetup form.

From the Piping tab select the Pipework Modelling radio button to indicate the current training course andcheck the Setup Training Course checkbox. Click the Apply button followed by the Close button to closethe form.

Completed Exercises are available via the Training Setup form and may be accessed by the Trainer if required.


14/308



2.2 Accessing the Pipework Application

A default screen layout will be displayed comprising the Microsoft® Office Fluent™ –based user interfaceand a Model Explorer showing all the objects from the current project databases.

Once the Model module has been started, it must be checked that the Pipework application is running. This

can be seen on the options list at top of the model framework, in the screenshot below it is showing theGeneral application. This can be changed by selecting Piping from the options list as shown.

Selecting the Piping application will add the Piping tab to the new Microsoft® Office Fluent™ –based user interface.

2.3 Piping Tab

The Piping tab is used to manipulate pipes, branches and branch components and also invoke the functionsand tools specific to the Pipework application. It is split into seven groups:-

Common (this is identical for all applications).

Create

Modify

Tools

Penetrate

Isometrics

Production

PSI

Throughout this training guide it will be assumed that the Piping tab is being used unless otherwisestated.


15/308



2.4 Pipe Model Hierarchy

There is a separate model hierarchy for pipe routing, as shown below. In principle, each pipe element mayown a number of branches. In turn, branches may own a number of piping components, e.g. valves,reducers, tees, flanges, etc.

The difference between pipes and branches is that a branch is only considered to have two ends, while apipe may have any number of ends, depending on the number of branches it owns.

A pipe with three ends and two branches is shown below. The secondbranch is connected to the first at the tee.

This demonstrates another piping hierarchy rule. Although a branchonly has two ends, it may own components (in this case a tee) whichconnect to other branches.

These simple concepts enable any number of piping configurations to

be developed, and forms the basis of all existing designed AVEVAE3D pipework.

An alternative pipe configuration that still complies with these rulesis shown here. In this instance the branch leaves the tee through

the offline leg.

Pipe branches serve two purposes:-

They define the start and finish points of a pipe route (known as the Head and Tail in AVEVAE3D).

They own the piping components, which define the route.

The position and order of the piping components below branch level determine the physical route. In AVEVAE3D it is only necessary to consider the fittings, because the pipe that appears between fittings isautomatically set (or implied) by AVEVA E3D according to the specifications of the fittings.


16/308



2.5 Piping Specifications

In the same way that design offices have standard piping specifications, AVEVA E3D has a set of specifications from which the designer can select. All the components within AVEVA E3D must be defined inthe Catalogue and be placed in a Specification before they can be selected. In the Training Project there arethree such specifications:

A1A = ANSI CLASS 150 CARBON STEEL

A3B = ANSI CLASS 300 CARBON STEEL

F1C = ANSI CLASS 150 STAINLESS STEEL

These specifications contain all the fittings required for the course exercises. An important point toremember when using the application is which specification is currently being used as the default.

For the Training Project, the first letter in the pipe name represents the specification to be used. For example, the PIPE /150-B-5 has the letter ‘B’ to represent the specification.

The specification letters are as follows: -

A = /A1A

B = /A3B

C = /F1C


17/308



2.6 Pipe Editor:- Create Pipe Form

In the Create group click the Create Pipebutton to display the Pipe Editor: CreatePipe form.

The Pipe Editor: Create Pipe form is now displayed

The upper section of the form allows the Pipe Name to be enteredand the Primary System to be selected.

The middle section of the form allows the selection of thespecification for the pipe.

The lower section of the form is the Basic Pipe Process Data:-

Bore field indicated on the form is the nominal bore for this pipe and does not affect the pipe route.

Insulation Spec

Tracing Spec

Temperature

Pressure

Slope Ref.

Not all of these fields are mandatory.

Clicking the Apply button will create the pipe which in turnchanges the form to the Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe form.

2.7 Pipe Creation – (Worked Example)

The following sections include a worked example which covers pipe creation, branch positioning andconnecting a branch head/tail.

It is usual to create pipe elements in situ to allow referencing of other model elements.

Add EQUI D1201 and :HEATEX E1302A owned by ZONE-EQUIPMENT-AREA01 which in turn belongs toSITE-EQUIPMENT-AREA01 to the 3D View.


18/308



Click the Create > Create Pipe button todisplay the Pipe Editor: Create Pipe form.

Before creating the pipe navigate to the correct ZONE using theModel Explorer , in this case ZONE /ZONE-PIPING-AREA01.

Enter the Pipe Name, 80-B-7.

Select the Primary System for the pipe to be Process SystemB.

Select the required Pipe Specification A3B.

Select the Bore to be 80mm, and keep the default values for Insulation, Tracing, Temperature and Slope Ref then click theApply button.

The new pipe has been created in ZONE /ZONE-PIPING-AREA01.

2.8 Pipe Branch Heads and Tails

All branches need to have a start and end point. These can be a position in space (3D co-ordinates), theflange face of a nozzle, a tee or various other points in the model. Heads and tails are set up via a series of attributes that belong to the branch element.

The branch head is at the face of Nozzle 1 and the branch tail is at the face of Nozzle 2. The head and tailcan be easily distinguished by the different symbols which can be seen when the connected element is notin the 3D View.

2.8.1 Branch Head Attributes

HPOS The position in the zone where the branch starts.

HCON The connection type of the branch end

HDIR The direction in which the start of the branch is pointing (looking down the bore).

HBOR The bore of the pipe (this can be metric or imperial).

HREF The name of the item to which the branch head is connected (e.g. /C1101-N1). If this is not set, then the branch is open to the atmosphere for a vent or drain.

HSTU This is a reference to the catalogue, which determines the material of the first pieceof pipe, between the start of the branch and the first fitting (this still needs to be set, even if there isa fitting connected directly to the head).

2.8.2 Branch Tail Attributes

TPOS The position in the zone where the branch ends.

TCON The connection type of the branch end

TDIR The direction in which the end of the branch is pointing (looking back down thebore).

TBOR The bore of the pipe (this can be metric or imperial).

TREF The name of the item to which the branch tail is connected (e.g. /150-A-3). If this isnot set, then the branch is open to the atmosphere for a vent or drain.

It is not necessary to specify each of these attributes every time a branch is created. On most occasions when a branch head or tail is defined, it will be connected to another pipe or to a nozzle. The

act of connecting to another item sets the branch head/tail attributes automatically.


20/308



2.9 Modify Pipe Form

In AVEVA E3D terms a pipe is an administration element. The branch element holds the geometric data.

On clicking the Apply button on the Pipe Editor: Create Pipeform the Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe form is automatically

displayed so that the branch head and tail can be specified.

The upper section of the displays the pipe name andspecification.

There is also a list of existing branches containing the referencenames for head and tail connections.

At present the head and tail entries are blank because thebranch has not been connected.

The lower section of the form shows the Branch Head andBranch Tail tabs. These allow the positioning, connection andsetting of various other attributes for the head and tail of theselected branch.

It can be considered that there are two methods of doing this:-

Explicitly – by entering the data manually.

Connecting – by connecting to an existing pipe or equipment nozzle the values are set automatically.


21/308



2.10 Updating Pipe & Branch Data

Clicking the Modify Pipe Attributes or the Modify Branch Attributes button will change the form allowingmodification of the pipe or branch attributes respectively.

Modify Branch Attributes

Modify Pipe Attributes


22/308



2.11 Pipe Branch Head/Tail Positioned Explicitly

The explicit definition method involves the use of the tab below the List of Connections fold-up panel.

When setting the branch head or tail explicitly, each of thepreviously described branch attributes needs to be specified.

Bore: Nominal Bore size of the pipe. The options list contains allsizes available in the current specification.

Connection: select from the options list of the available head/tailconnection types.

Direction: - the head direction is with the flow and the tail directionis against the flow.

The Pick Position button can be used to graphically set thehead/tail position using the Positioning Control toolbar. This is withrespect to the World.

Position: Position in world co-ordinates. This can be expressed inENU or XYZ format.

By default setting the initial position for the head will result in the tailalso being positioned and vice versa. The position of the tail is inrelation to that of the head.

The automatic positioning of the opposing end of the branchwill allow immediate use of the Quick Pipe Router if required,see Chapter 4 for details.


23/308



2.12 Pipe Branch Head/Tail Connected – (Worked Example)

With the Branch Head tab selected click the PickConnection button.

The prompt ‘Identify element to connect to:’ is displayed.

In this example the head connection will be connected to NozzleN2 of :HEATEX E1302A.

Indicate the EQUI as shown:-

In this example the Nozzle is deliberately avoided todemonstrate alternative behavior.

This will result in the name of the EQUI being added to the form

and the List of Connections fold-up panel being populated withthe nozzle connections and their availability from the EQUI.

In this case click N2 from the list followed by the Connect ToSelected button.

The List of Connections fold-up panel closes and the newvalues can be seen on the lower section of the form.

Similarly to the explicit positioning method, the positioning of thehead will have automatically resulted in the tail position beingdefined. However for the purposes of this worked example the tailwill be updated.


24/308



Repeat the connection procedure for the Branch Tail tab. Clickthe Pick Connection button as shown before.

In this example the tail connection will be connected to nozzleN1 of EQUI D1201.

This time indicate the actual nozzle as shown:-

Because the unconnected nozzle was indicated directly theconnection is made automatically.

The List of Connections fold-up panel closes and the newvalues can be seen on the lower section of the form.

Savework

In this case the head and tail connections are in line resulting inthe route from head to tail being geometrically correct.

When the route of the branch is geometrically correct theimplied tube will be created.

The inclusion of the implied tube immediately after creating the connections is not normally the case. Usually thebranch requires some form of modification in order tomake the implied tube appear.

When using the Pick Connection method for head/tail creation it is not necessary to click the Apply button. Thisis because the information is committed to the databasewhen the Connect To Selected button is clicked.


25/308



2.13 Modify Pipe Form - continued

The other buttons on the form are:-

Set Working Pipe – allows navigation to an alternativepipe and update the form to suit.

Create New Branch – creates a new branch belongingto the current pipe.

Autoroute Branch – routes the branch between theexisting components or head/tail connection is nocomponents are present using default selections from thespecification.

Disconnect – disconnects the head/tail from the currentconnection.

Reconnect – reconnects the head/tail to a connectionthat has changed position in the model.

Connect To First/Last Member – repositions thehead/tail to the first/last member in the branch. This isused for modification when the head/tail is not connectedto another pipe or nozzle. This also sets the ConnectionType to that of first/last member.


26/308



2.14 Navigating Pipes and Branches

If there is a requirement to modify the pipe or branch once it has been created, select the pipe in the 3DView or from the Model Explorer and then from the Modify group click the Modify Pipe button to displaythe Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe form.

Alternatively, if the Pipe Editor: Modify Pipe form is already open navigate to the pipe and click the SetWorking Pipe button on the form. Allowing the navigation between pipes without having to close the formand reopen it each time

The form displays the existing branches owned by the pipe in theConnectivity table. Highlighting the branch which requires modifying in thistable will display the head and tail details and connection information on therelevant tab. The selected branch will also be highlighted in the 3D View

Branch B1 selectedfor modification.


27/308



Branch B2selected for modification.

The form is also used to create a new branch by clicking the Create New Branch button. The head and tailposition for the new branch can now be defined.

The new branch can now be seen inthe Model Explorer .

If the Modify > Modify Pipe or Set Working Pipe button is clicked and the Current Element is not a valid

pipe, branch or component then a warning will be displayed.

CHAPTER 3

3 Component Creation and Modification

3.1 Pipe Branch Components (Pipe Fittings)

When a branch head and tail is initially defined, the branch will consist of a single section of pipe running ina straight line between the head and tail positions. This will appear as a dotted line between the two pointsunless the head and tail are aligned along a common axis and have the same bore. The presence of thedotted line indicates that the branch route is incorrectly defined.

The next step in designing a pipe is to create and position a series of fittings, which define the pipe routerequired. It is necessary to decide which piping components are needed in order to satisfy the requirementsof the process. The components must be arranged so that the pipe meets the design requirements. It is notnecessary to know the dimensions of fittings as AVEVA E3D derives these automatically from the catalogue.

To create components, first select an item from the list of fittings available from the associated pipingspecification. Typical fitting types are Elbows, Tees, Reducers, Flanges, Gaskets and Valves. There is someintelligence built into the AVEVA E3D forms so that by placing, for example a valve, the associated Gasketsand Flanges will also be created.

For all piping components, the following steps will need to be performed:-

Select the component from the piping specification.

Position the component and set the orientation.

The Tube does not have to be created explicitly; it is created automatically and implied between adjacentfittings.


30/308



3.2 Arrive and Leave Points

Piping components have P–points (similar to those for equipment primitives). The significance of P–points istwo–fold. Firstly, they define the connection points, and secondly, they determine the branch flow throughthe component by means of Arrive and Leave attributes.

For the reducer shown below, the large end is at P1 and the small end is at P2. If this component is used toincrease the bore of the branch, the flow in the direction of the branch will be from P2 to P1. In order to tell AVEVA E3D the necessary flow direction, there are two numeric attributes, Arrive and Leave, which must beset to the p–point numbers required. In this case, Arrive would be set to 2 and Leave would be set to 1. (Thedefault is Arrive 1 Leave 2). Forms and menus within AVEVA E3D will handle all connections; however it isimportant to understand the concepts behind the connections.


31/308



3.3 Piping Component Editor Form - Creation

In the Create group click the Create Component button to display the PipingComponent Editor form.

The Piping Component Editor form now appears.

This form is used extensively during pipe creation. As impliedby the name of the form it is not only restricted to the creation of the components, but also for the modification and reselectionas well.

The upper section of the form relates to the general branchinformation such as Specification, Bore, Insulation andTracing.

The next section of the form consists of two tabs. The

Standard Components tab displays the 14 commonly usedcomponent buttons. This is supplemented by the AdditionalComponents tab.

The selection of one of these buttons will make the Select tabactive to further filter the selection.

In addition to the Select tab there are also the Modify,Reselect and Errors tabs. The use of these tabs will becovered later in this guide.

The appearance of the area below the sType list variesdepending on the type of component being added.

The lower section of the form is common for all componenttypes:-

Create Mode section determines whether thecomponents are created in the direction of flow or against flow.

Create Components section determines whether thecomponents are connected to the current componentor inserted.

The Auto Create checkbox is mainly used todetermine whether connecting flanges and gasketsare to be added, i.e. when creating flanges or valves.

The Skip Connected Comps checkbox is used if theCurrent Element is connected to other components.With this checkbox checked the component will becreated at the next free connection, i.e. where there isimplied tube.

The default value for these checkboxes can be determined by the Piping Settings form see section 3.17 for further details


32/308



3.3.1 Selecting from an Alternative Specification

Components can be selected from an alternativespecification if required using the options list as shown.

The selection of an alternative specification is indicatedon the form as a warning.

When an alternative specification is being used and thecomponent is of the correct type, i.e. flange, valve, etc.the Select adjacent out of spec checkbox becomesactive.

Checking this checkbox will result in the adjacentcomponents also being selected from the alternativespecification if available.

The default value for these checkboxes can bedetermined by the Piping Settings form seesection 3.17 for further details

To revert back to the original specification click theReset Specification link label or reselect it from theoptions list as before.


33/308



3.4 Piping Component Editor Form – Creation – (Worked Example)

The first section of this worked example is very simple and will cover the completion of PIPE /80-B-7 thatwas created in the worked example in the previous chapter.

Navigate to BRAN 80-B-7/B1 in the Model Explorer .

When adding flanges to head or tail the branch must be the current element.

Click the Create > Create Component button to display the PipingComponent Editor form.

Components are created by selecting the required fitting type button, in

this case the Flange, which in turn influences the appearance of thelower section of the form.

Once the fitting type has been selected a list of availableSTypes will be displayed on the Select tab.

The Piping Component Editor form shows details of all thesTypes available in the specification. i.e. a slip-on flange, weldneck, etc.

The items are created in order, With Flow or Against Flow. Asthe button is selected the branch toggles between the head/tail

position.

At Head - With Flow direction.

At Tail - Against Flow direction


34/308



Select the required flange from the sType list, FSO, click the With Flow button, check the Auto. CreateAdjacent and Skip Connected Comps. checkboxes and click the Connect button. The new flangecomplete with gasket will be added to the branch. Appearing in both the 3D View and Model Explorer .

Now add a SO flange and gasketto the tail of the pipe:

Ensure that the branch level isselected in the hierarchy toachieve the correct result.

Savework.

The next section of this worked example will handle the creation of some of the components for PIPE /200-B-4 that was created in Exercise 1 of the previous chapter.

Navigate to BRAN /200-B-4/B1 in the Model Explorer .

Click the Create > Create Component button to displaythe Piping Component Editor form.

Alternatively if the form is already open click the SetWorking Branch button to update the form to suit thecurrent pipe.

Connect a WN flange to the head and tail of the branch.

Navigate to the flange at the head of thebranch and click the Elbow button on theform.


35/308



Select the EL90 from the sType list.

When adding an elbow it is also possible to specify the Angle byentering the degrees value. This value has to be within theMin/Max value specified.

This Min/Max value is set in the specification.

In this case the default value of 90 is valid.

Click the With Flow button followed by the Connect.

The elbow is connected to theflange as shown.

With the previously created elbow selected create a second

elbow, ensuring that the With Flow button is selected.

Navigate to the flange at the tail of the branch and create a thirdelbow, ensuring that the Against Flow button has been clicked.

These elbows require modification because the orientation is notcorrect to suit the desired route.


36/308



3.5 Piping Component Editor Form – Modification

The Piping Component Editor form promotes the workflow of creation and modification from the sameform maintaining focus in a single area of the application.

Retrospective modification can also be performed using the Model Editor , refer to Chapter 4.

The Modify tab differs to the Select tab in that it is notnecessary to use the Set Working Branch button toupdate the form to the current branch or component.The form tracks the current element allowing theselection of any pipe component for which the user has write access for modification.

The Modify tab has five main sections:-

Positioning Functions

Rotation & Direction tool

Orientation Functions

Other Functions

Component Sequence List


37/308



3.5.1 Forwards / Backwards Mode

When the Modify tab is selected an additional buttonbecomes active which determines whether themodifications are applied in Forwards or Backwardsmode. This button is a toggle which shows the current

mode that is being used.

Not all of the Modify functions are affected by theForwards/Backwards mode. This will be clearly stated in the relevant sections

In Forwards mode the functions are performedwith the direction of flow. The modification axesare positioned at the arrive of the component.

In Backwards mode the functions are performedagainst the direction of flow. The modificationaxes are positioned at the leave of thecomponent.

This often has the result of reversing themeaning of the function, i.e. Next becomesPrevious and vice versa.

The mode currently being used can be determined by which button is visible. This mode will be set until it ischanged.

The following sections will use the Forwards direction mode only unless otherwise stated.


38/308



3.5.2 Positioning Functions

Branch Head

Previous Component

Align with Previous

Next Component

Branch Tail

Cursor Pick

Distance From Previous

Tube Length from Previous

Advanced Drag Move

Advanced Move

The following explanations will assume that the Forwards direction mode has been selected unlessstated otherwise.

With the exception of Advanced Drag Move and Advanced Move the remaining Positioning functions usea constrained centreline from the previous or next component to position the component being modified. Theuse of the previous or next component from which the constrained centreline is applied is dependent on theForwards or Backwards mode respectively. The component will be positioned so that the origin is alongthe constrained centreline. The orientation of the component is not altered when using the Positioningfunctions.


39/308



3.5.2.1 Position Through - Branch Head/Tail

In Forwards direction mode a constrained centreline is used from the previous component through the

origin of the component being modified. The component is then positioned through the head/tailrespectively.

Branch Head

Branch Tail

These functions are influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode.

3.5.2.2 Position Through - Previous/Next Component


origin of the component being modified. The component is then positioned through the origin of thePrevious/Next component respectively.

Previous Component

Next Component

These functions are influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode.


41/308



3.5.2.3 Position Through - Align with Previous


origin of the component being modified. The component is then positioned through its own origin whichresults in it being aligned with the Previous component.

Align with Previous

This function is influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode


42/308



3.5.2.4 Position Through - Cursor Pick


origin of the component being modified. The component is then positioned through the cursor pick indicated.

Cursor Pick

This will invoke the Positioning Control form.

In the illustration below the tee is positioned throughthe nozzle of the pump

This function is influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode


43/308



If the direction of the constrained centerline is not orthogonal, as is the case for the 45 degree elbow shownbelow, the Select Through Plane form is displayed.

The Select Through Plane form allows the selection of three possible planes using the radio buttons.

Radio button 1 will position the component throughone of the orthogonal planes, at the picked position.In this case the East plane.


44/308



Radio button 2 will position the component through

the other orthogonal plane, at the picked position. Inthis case the North plane.

Radio button 3 will position the component through aplane perpendicular to the constrained centerline.Effectively positioning the component at the closestposition to the picked position.


45/308



3.5.2.5 Position Using Distance From Previous/Tube Length From Previous

These functions allow the positioning of the current component using a distance value entered into thetextbox. This distance will either be interpreted as the distance between the origins or the tube lengthbetween the leave of the previous to the arrive of the component being modified.

Distance From Previous Tube Length From Previous

The elbow is positioned so that there is 750mmbetween the origins.

The elbow is positioned so that there is 750mm of tube.

These functions are influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode

3.5.2.6 Advanced Drag Move/Move

Clicking the Advanced Move or Advanced Drag Move buttons will open the relevant form as shown below.

These are the advanced forms and are consequently handled in a separate chapter refer to chapter 6 - Advanced Positioning Forms.


46/308



3.5.3 Rotation and Direction Tools

These functions are influenced by Forwards / Backwards direction mode

3.5.3.1 Direction Tool

The Direction tool allows the indication one of the six axes to setthe direction of component. For example the direction of an elbowcan be set to Up as shown.

This will set the value in the Direction textbox. Alternatively thevalue can be entered directly into the textbox.

The default orientation for the current form can be changed fromthe right click menu. However if the form is initialised again theorientation will be reset to the default.

To permanently set the default orientation the Piping Settings form needs to be used, see section 3.17.3 for details.

Clicking one of the planes will change the appearance of the tool allowing a more specific direction to beselected. The result of this does depend upon the original orientation of the component.

To return to the default directional appearance, to allow theselection of another plane click the Default Direction button or press the Escape key.


47/308



3.5.3.2 Rotation Tool

To access the Rotation tool click onthe Rotate Component button. Thisallows the rotation of the componentto be modified.

The appearance of the tool isdependent upon the type of component that has been selected.

When the tool is activated an aid is added to the 3D View whichshows the angle values. These are always incremental angleswith 0 degrees being the starting position of the component.


48/308



Positioning the cursor over

the angle selection on theform will result in the arc of rotation being included in the3D View.

Clicking the angle will modifythe component as shown.

The Rotation tool can also be applied to other component types. The

appearance of the gadget will change depending upon the objectbeing rotated as shown here for a valve.

The Direction functions first orientate the component so that:-

In Forwards mode the arrive of the component is in the opposite direction to the leave of theprevious.

In Backwards mode the leave of the component is in the opposite direction to the arrive of the

next.

This orientation is performed before the direction of the leave (Forwards) or arrive (Backwards) is changed.The position of the component is not altered.

Consequently the Direction functions might have unexpected results if:-

The arrive of the component is not orientated to the leave of the previous in Forwards mode.

The leave of the component is not orientated to the arrive of the next in Backwards mode.

(The above situations are usually instantly recognisable because there will be no implied tube at the arriveor leave).


49/308



3.5.3.3 Rotation Tool with Flanged Components

For flanged components theRotation tool uses the bolthole positions to determine theangles by default. In this casethere are 12 holes in theflange allowing rotations of 30degree increments.

In this case the valve hasbeen rotated but the flangeshave remained in the originalposition. The valve rotation isconstrained to the angledetermined by the bolt holepositions.

To turn off the constrained bolthole rotation, click the ChangeTo Default Angle button asshown. The appearance of thebutton has changed to showthe mode being used.

Selecting a rotation that does not align with the bolt hole spacing will result in the associated flanges beinghighlighted and a question form appearing. Clicking the Yes button will also rotate the flanges while clickingthe No button will maintain the original flange rotations resulting in the flange bolt holes being misalignedwith those of the valve.


50/308



Should any misalignment between the bolt holes need to rectified the Connect to Previous button canbe used, see section 3.5.5 for further details.

To return to the Direction toolclick on the DirectComponent button.


51/308



3.5.4 Orientation Functions

Direction To Next

Direction To Previous

Direction To Head

Direction To Tail

Orientate Component

Flip Component

Align Selection/Component

Direct Selection/Component

The following explanations will assume that the Forwards direction mode has been selected unlessstated otherwise.

3.5.4.1 Direction To Next/Previous

These functions allow the direction of the current component towards the origin of the next/previous, whilst

orientating the component so that the opposing connection direction suits the adjacent component.

In Forwards mode the Direction To Next button orientates the arrive of the component to suit the leave of the previous and then directs the leaveof the elbow to the origin of the next.

These functions are influenced by Forwards/Backwards direction mode
