A thickness measurement location (TML), is a special kind of information item that identifies the location on a pipeline that requires inspection on a regular basis. Although the TML is a message that is output on the isometric drawing, it carries additional attributes relevant to inspection, such as a tag that uniquely identifies the TML (and is used as the content of the message) and an enclosure style, which controls how the TML is plotted.

  1. Click Information Item Info Item on the Place toolbar. Alternatively, click Place > Information Item.

  2. Click a point on the pipeline to position a flag for the item.

    The software snaps the flag to the nearest keypoint.

  3. In the Properties window, select Thickness-Measurement-Location in the Type list.

    The software updates the model to display the item. The example shows several TML identifiers placed on the pipeline.

  4. In the Properties window, specify the properties for the TML. For example, you can assign a unique identifier using the Name or Tag box. For information about the supported properties, see the Information Item Type table in Information Items .

After you place a TML, it is visible in the 3D View window as a cone, making it easy to visualize the location of each TML.
