To Modify the Elevation of a Plumbing Line or Fitting

Plumbing lines are two-dimensional (2D). Therefore, the elevation of a plumbing line or fitting is for calculation purposes only.

To modify the elevation of a plumbing line

1. Select the plumbing line or the plumbing fitting in your drawing.
2. Click Home tab Build panel Tools drop-down Properties .
3. On the Design tab of the Properties palette, under Placement, specify a different value for Elevation.
4. Under Slope, specify values for Rise, Run, and Slope (%).
   Note: Alternatively, you can select a plumbing line, click Plumbing Line tabModify panelModify Plumbing Line, and change the setting for Elevation, Rise, Run, and Slope in the Modify Plumbing Lines dialog box.

   Changing the elevation of a plumbing line or plumbing fitting might break the corresponding connection to other components. As a result, you should check for disconnections. Changing the elevation of a plumbing line might also change the elevation of connected objects on the same level.

5. Click View tabMEP View panelSolution Tips.

6. If necessary, reconnect disconnected components in the run by adding connecting segments, changing the elevation of segments, or moving or lengthening components. You can recreate valid connections using AutoCAD MEP snaps.
