You can insert and modify all piping components that are defined in the piping specification. The software places the component that you select. After placement, you can precisely position and orient the component relative to point cloud component by modifying appropriate properties. This allows you to efficiently model as-built pipe runs in the existing model for restoration, maintenance, and asset management.

Positioning a flanged component

You can position the flanged component accurately relative to point cloud component using Reference position on the Insert Component ribbon. The software uses the back end of the flange as the reference, and places the component. If the base component has two mating parts as flanges, then the Back End of Flange One and Back End of Flange Two back ends are oriented in the order of leg direction. Back End of the Flange is displayed only when the base component has one mating flange.

  • Back End of Flange One defines the first mating flange as the reference position; Back End of Flange Two defines the second mating flange as the reference position.

  • The Back End of Flange One, Back End of Flange Two, and Back End of the Flange options are available only when you place a component on pipe straight feature, pipe end feature, component free port, and component connected port.

  • CloudWorx helps you in positioning the component to fit exactly on the point cloud data. The positioning of component on the point cloud data is dependent on many parameters such as density of points, point cloud point selected, and diameter of the pipe run. If the component is not placed properly, you can use the manual options available in the Reference position option on the Insert Component ribbon to position the component.
