To work with pipe gaps

In an ortho drawing, if you want to see details hidden by a pipe, you can create a pipe gap. The gap is easily edited or removed, using grips.

To create a pipe gap

1. On the Ortho View tab, Plant Object Tools panel, click .
2. As prompted, select the pipe to be gapped.
3. Select the pipe gap ends and use the grips to create the appropriate-sized gap. You will not see the gap until you update the view.
4. On the ribbon, Ortho View tab, click Update View to see the results. If you zoom in, you can see the pipe gap "pigtail" ends.
   

To edit a pipe gap

• Use the grips on each end of the gapped pipe to make adjustments. Update the view.

To remove a pipe gap

1. Drag the grip on one end up to the grip on the other end of the gapped pipe. When you release the mouse, the pipe gap "pigtails" disappear.
2. On the ribbon, Ortho View tab, click Update View. The pipe is restored to its pre-gapped state.
