  1. Click Route Pipe on the vertical toolbar.

  2. Select the run starting point in an elevation view.

  3. On the New Pipe Run dialog box, select the parent Pipeline.

  4. In the Name box, type a name for the pipe run. If you do not type a name, the software automatically generates a name.

  5. Select the Minimum Slope box, and then type the slope for the pipe run. For example, 2deg or 0.5in / 1.0ft.

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

  7. In the Specify Slope Direction dialog box, specify if you are routing from the high point or the low point of the pipe run.

  8. In the Specify Slope Direction dialog box, select Run contains multiple slope orientation to indicate that the pipe run will slope both up and down.

  9. Click OK on the Specify Slope Direction dialog box.

  10. Select points to define the route of your pipe run.

    You can use PinPoint, Point Along, and the SmartSketch 3D relationship indicators when defining your pipe run.

  11. When you finish routing in a particular direction (for example, sloping down), right-click to end routing.

  12. Click Route Pipe again.

  13. In the Run box on the ribbon, select <New/ Continue Run>.

  14. Select the pipe end feature where you stopped in step 11.

  15. In the Specify Slope Direction dialog box, specify the other direction.

  16. Click OK on the Specify Slope Direction dialog box.

  17. Select point to define the route of your pipe run.

  18. Repeat steps 11 through 17 until you have completed the pipe run route.

The Run contains multiple slope orientations option on the Specify Slope Direction dialog box indicates that the pipe run slopes both up and down. After you specify that a pipe run has multiple slope orientations, you cannot clear the selection. You should only route pipe runs with multiple slope orientations when it is absolutely required. In addition, pipe runs with multiple slope orientations may behave unexpectedly during modification operations.
