After you have finished the plumbing system layout and checked the calculations for the final design, typically you verify the plumbing equipment and fixtures in the drawing and, if necessary, make additions or modifications. You might also need to do this during the design process due to changes in the requirements.
Changes to equipment or fixtures might require changes to connecting plumbing lines.
To modify plumbing equipment or fixtures
- Select the part to modify and click
. Find - In the Multi-view Part Modify dialog box, on the Part tab, under All Installed MvParts, specify a part. Expand subfolders as needed.
- Specify a part size for Part Size Name. Note: The part size name list displays the available part sizes in the range of the current part. If the part size is not available, proceed to the next step to specify filters and ranges.
- On the Part Filter tab, under Connections, for Nominal Connection, select a size range (such as in this format: 4-72). To filter the number of sizes available for viewing, for Display, enter a number within the allowable range.

- Under the part graphic, click
or 
to step through the available part size names in the selected range. Select a size for Part Size Name.

- Specify an elevation. Note: When changing the elevation for an MvPart that is connected to other objects, the objects remain connected and are placed at the new elevation.
- If you are modifying a fixture, click the Fixture Units tab and specify the following:
- a fixture unit table for Fixture Unit Table.
- a fixture type for Fixture.
- an occupancy type (public or private) for Occupancy.
Note: The software applies a default fixture unit value to each connector on the fixture based on the system type of the connector and the property values specified on the Fixture Unit Table worksheet. The default values are correct for most design situations. However, you should examine the values and modify them if necessary. If you subsequently perform plumbing line sizing, the software uses the applied fixture unit values in the calculations.
