To Split Pipe Networks

When you split a pipe network, no pipe network parts are moved. However, the selected parts are associated with a different pipe network name.

  1. Click Modify tabDesign panelPipe Network.

    The Pipe Networks contextual tab is displayed in the ribbon.

  2. On the Modify panel, click Split Network.
  3. In the drawing, select the first pipe network part.

    After selecting the first pipe network part, you are then prompted to select the next pipe network part or [Undo].

  4. Select the next pipe network part.

    You can select multiple pipe network parts. Selected parts display with a dashed-line linetype.

  5. When you are finished selecting parts, press ENTER.

    Now you are prompted to either add the parts to an existing pipe network, or add them to a new pipe network.

  6. Do one of the following:
    • Select the destination pipe network to add the parts to.
    • Press C to Create a New Pipe Network.

The selected parts now belong to the destination pipe network. If you chose to create a new pipe network, the new pipe network name is displayed in Prospector.

Most of the part properties of the selected parts are not modified when splitting a pipe network. Part properties such as the referenced surface, referenced alignment and labeling, remain unchanged when the pipe network is split. The only part property that changes is the pipe network that the parts are associated with.
