Displays properties for cable nozzles. A cable nozzle, or port, defines the connection location between a cable and a piece of equipment.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.
Area
Specifies the cross-section area for the object. This property is read-only. To change this value, edit the object properties in Catalog or in the corresponding workbook.
Behavior Controlled By User
Specifies whether you can delete the object or not. Select False to prevent anyone from deleting the object from the model.
Construction Requirement
Specifies the construction requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Construction Requirement select list in Catalog.
Created By
Specifies the name of the person who created the object.
Date Created
Specifies the creation date of the object.
Date Last Modified
Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.
Diameter
Specifies the diameter of the object.
Distribution Port Status
Specifies the distribution port status for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Distribution Port Status select list in Catalog.
Distribution Port Type
Specifies the distribution port type for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Distribution Port Type select list in Catalog.
Fabrication Requirement
Specifies the fabrication requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Fabrication Type select list in Catalog.
Rule Driven
Specifies that a rule drives the value. This is the default option. Click to switch to User Driven .
User Driven
Allows you to select a value. Click to switch to Rule Driven .
Hyperlink
Specifies the URL or local file path associated with the object. Click the hyperlink to open the page or object in your default browser. Point to the hyperlink to display the URL or path as a tooltip.
Description
Specifies the descriptive text associated with the hyperlink.
URL
Specifies the web address or local file name associated with the hyperlink. The URL must include the protocol, such as http: or https:, as well as the domain name. For example, https://hexagonppm.com/.
IsConnected
Indicates whether the nozzle is connected.
Last Modified By
Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.
Name
Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Orientation
Specifies the orientation for the object with respect to the local coordinate system. Use the Bearing, Pitch, and Roll properties to change the orientation of the selected object.
Placement Type
Specifies a location type for the nozzle. The following location types are available for nozzles:
Radial
Straight nozzle with nozzle centerline on the radial plane.
Tangential
Straight nozzle on the radial plane, but the nozzle centerline does not intersect the vessel axis.
Axial
Straight nozzle normal to radial plane.
Skew
Straight nozzle that is tilted from both the radial plane and the vessel axis.
Axial Elbow
Elbow nozzle with hub centerline normal to the radial plane.
Radial Elbow
Elbow nozzle placed with the hub radial to the vessel axis.
Offset Radial Elbow
Elbow nozzle placed with the hub tangential to the vessel axis.
Offset Skew
Skew nozzle with a parallel offset in the radial plane.
Position by Plane and Axis
Places the nozzle at the intersection of the selected plane and axis. Available only for nozzles that have the same shape or design solid as the orientation reference.
Position by Point
Places the nozzle at the location you select with respect to the active coordinate system. Available with all Nozzles including PipePort (No Added Graphic) and HvacPort (No Added Graphic).
N1
Specifies the axial distance from the reference point along the x-axis.
N2
Specifies the distance from the reference object point to the face of the nozzle or port. This is an unsigned offset along the positive direction of the radial.
N3
Specifies the radial distance to the hub centerline. This is an unsigned offset along the positive direction of the radial.
OR1
Specifies the angle around the reference object point measured from the y-axis of the object (y-axis is 0°) or the Y-axis of the coordinate system.
OR1 measured to Active Coordinate System North
Calculates the OR1 angle value with respect to the active coordinate system north. This property is available when the X-axis of the orientation reference is parallel to the Z-axis of the active coordinate system. If a nozzle satisfies this condition, select OR1 measured to Active Coordinate System North and finish the command to save the new value in the session preferences. The next time you select or create a nozzle, the software calculates the OR1 angle value based the last saved preference. Because this is a session preference, this value applies to all of the nozzles in the System Hierarchy Explorer.
Port Type
Specifies the type of port for placement on a selected shape. If the selected port type requires you to define physical dimensions, a picture of the selected port type displays. The picture contains labeled parameters, such as A, B, C, and so forth, that you can define in the Value column of the grid. If the selected port type requires no user-defined physical dimensions, no picture displays. This option does not display when you edit a nozzle that you have already placed in the model.
Position
Specifies the intersection point of the object to the axis. Use the East, North, and Elevation properties to change the position.
Reporting Requirement
Specifies the reporting requirement for the object. To change the options on the list, edit the Reporting Type select list in Catalog.
Sub Type
Specifies the electrical sub-type of the nozzle.
Terminal
Specifies the type of terminal electrical connection for the port.
Tightness
Specifies the tightness of the nozzle.
