To Add Ancillaries to a Pressure Network

You can add ancillaries during pressure network layout or editing. Unlike pressure pipes and fittings, ancillaries are categorised by type (such as valves) rather than by material.

In plan view, ancillaries can be added to the ends of a pipe or inserted anywhere along a pipe. Layout cues are displayed to indicate where the ancillaries can be inserted.

  1. Create a pipe run and begin laying it out using the Pressure Network Creation Tools or the Create New Pipe Run command.
  2. On the Pressure Network Plan Layout ribbon tab, on the Layout panel, select the type of ancillary to add.
  3. Click Add Ancillaries .
  4. Select the insertion point.
