While routing a pipe using point cloud data, if you do not change the nominal diameter of the pipe run generated by the software and specify the insulation thickness of the pipe under Insulation and Tracing category, the software displays the following message: As the Insulation Thickness has been changed, do you want to change the Nominal Diameter to "n" inch?

  • Click Yes to change the nominal diameter to n-inch.

  • Click No to retain the existing diameter.

Here, n-inch refers to the nominal diameter generated by the software after deducting the insulation thickness from the outer diameter of the pipe.

  • If you override the outer diameter of the pipe and then change the insulation thickness to some value, then the software accepts the nominal diameter change and the insulation thickness is not deducted from the changed outer diameter.

  • If you change the nominal diameter of the pipe run for the first time, the software automatically suggests the appropriate insulation thickness for the pipe run. You can also change the thickness of the pipe, if required. The insulation thickness is suggested only if you try to define the thickness in the Insulation and Tracing category for the first time.
