An origin specifies the absolute location of a point on the pipeline. You can specify as many of these points as needed, and you can place them at any position on the pipeline.

  1. Click Place Origin on the Dimension toolbar. Alternatively, click Dimension > Place Origin.

  2. Click in the pipeline or on a component to place a flag.

    The Add Origin dialog box displays.

  3. Specify the Type of origin, and type values for the coordinates. To define the 3D coordinate as the start point, you must place it at the open end of the pipeline, and select Set as Start Point.

  4. Click OK to place the origin on the pipeline at the current marker position.

  • Alternatively, use Query 3D Component to access the Add Origin function.

    1. Click Query 3D Coordinate Query 3D Coordinate on the Dimension toolbar.

    2. Click in the pipeline or on a component to place a flag and view the 3D coordinate at this position.

    3. Click Add Origin at the bottom of the Properties window to open the Add Origin dialog box, and then define the options as needed.

      Add Origin Command

  • To remove an origin from the pipeline, right-click it, and then select Delete.

  • When you place a second or subsequent origin, the software is able to limit part or all of the new coordinate based on existing geometry and dimensions. You can view these limits in the Add Origin dialog box. In the example below, the North/South and Up/Down coordinates are fixed, so you cannot specify them. The software has calculated the maximum allowable value for the East/West coordinate, which is based on the known lengths of any components in the model.

    Multiple Origins

  • A partial origin that you place on the pipeline displays as shown in the example:
