About Adding Grips

Add grips () on pipe segments, pipe fittings, and MvParts (as shown next) let you quickly add pipe objects, ensuring connectivity along the pipe run.

Add grips on some fittings let you create a new branch directly from the fitting. For example, you can use an add grip on an elbow to convert it to a tee when drawing a pipe run. The existing pipe branches remain connected.
