To Modify the System Assigned to a Plumbing Line or Fitting

When you change the system assigned to a plumbing line or fitting, the software applies the change to all components having valid connections to the selected segment.

To change the system of a plumbing line or fitting

  1. Select a segment or plumbing fitting in the plumbing run in your drawing.
  2. Click Home tab Build panel Tools drop-down Properties .
  3. On the Design tab of the Properties palette, under System, specify a different system.
    Note: Alternatively, you can select a plumbing line, click Plumbing Line tab Modify panel Modify Plumbing Line , and select a different system in the Modify Plumbing Lines dialog box.
  4. Note: The plumbing line system determines the system type (i.e., Cold Water, Waste, or Fire Protection) and the associated fittings that the software inserts when necessary. Systems help maintain consistency throughout a run and across multiple drawings in a project.
