You can review the piping model in the context of certain data such as by diameter, wall thickness, temperature, or pressure.

You can make changes to some piping input properties from the Legends dialog box. The software updates all elements that have the same property value in the model. For more information, see Updating Properties from the 3D Model.

Command

Description

Diameters

Updates the model to show each diameter in a different color. Use this option to see the diameter variations throughout the system or to verify that diameter changes have been made. Alternatively, press D. A color key displays the diameters defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs and update diameter settings.

Wall Thickness

Updates the model to show each wall thickness in a different color. Use this option to see the wall thickness variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. Alternatively, press W. A color key displays the thicknesses defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

Insulation Thickness

Updates the model to show each insulation thickness in a different color. Use this option to see the insulation thickness variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. Alternatively, press I. A color key displays the thicknesses defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to cladding thickness or refractory thickness by selecting that option from the list.

Cladding Thickness

Updates the model to show each cladding thickness in a different color. Use this option to see the cladding thickness variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the thicknesses defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to insulation thickness or refractory thickness by selecting that option from the list.

Refractory Thickness

Updates the model to show each refractory thickness in a different color. Use this option to see the refractory thickness variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the thicknesses defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to insulation thickness or cladding thickness by selecting that option from the list.

Material

Updates the model to show each material in a different color. Use this option to see the material variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. Alternatively, press M. A color key displays the materials defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

Piping Codes

Updates the model to show each piping code in a different color. Use this option to see the piping code variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made.

Corrosion

Updates the model to show each corrosion allowance in a different color. Use this option to see the corrosion variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the corrosion allowances defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

Pipe Density

Updates the model to show each pipe density in a different color. Use this option to see the pipe density variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the pipe densities defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

Fluid Density

Updates the model to show each fluid density in a different color. Use this option to see the fluid density variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the fluid densities defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

Insulation Density

Updates the model to show each insulation density in a different color. Use this option to see the insulation density variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the insulation densities defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to cladding density, insulation or cladding unit weight, or refractory density by selecting that option from the list.

Cladding Density

Updates the model to show each cladding density in a different color. Use this option to see the cladding density variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the cladding densities defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to insulation density, insulation or cladding unit weight, or refractory density by selecting that option from the list.

Insul/Cladding Unit Wt.

Updates the model to show each insulation or cladding unit weight in a different color. Use this option to see the variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the insulation or cladding unit weights defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

You can change the display to insulation density, cladding density, or refractory density by selecting that option from the list.

Refractory Density

Updates the model to show each refractory density in a different color. Use this option to see the refractory density variations throughout the system or to verify that changes have been made. A color key displays the refractory densities defined in the model. You can change the assigned colors to meet your needs.

  • The Legend dialog box can be resized, docked, or removed from view.

  • You can still zoom, pan, or rotate the model while in highlight mode. You can also use any of orthographic projections and single line or volume modes without affecting the model highlighted state.

  • Clicking one of the highlight commands a second time cancels the coloring effect.

  • If you print the model while it is in highlight mode, the color key legend displays in the upper left corner of the page, even if the actual legend window has been dragged away from the view.
