About Elevation Grips

Elevation grips (  ) let you modify the elevation of parts and pipe segments in the model view, relative to the top, centerline, or bottom of the segment.

If the pipe segment or part is connected to other objects, you can specify whether to maintain their connectivity when you modify the elevation of the pipe object.

Note: Elevation grips are not available on flexible or sloped pipe segments. You modify the elevation of the starting point of a flexible pipe segment using the Properties palette. You modify sloped pipe segments by adjusting the elevations of connected fittings.

The following example modifies the elevation of a pipe segment. To provide more room for accessing the valve hand wheels, a horizontal pipe segment is raised by a dimension relative to its current elevation. As a result, the software adjusts connected objects and maintains connectivity.
