Before you draw a plumbing run, you specify a system. The software determines the fittings to insert based on the default fittings configured in that system definition.
When necessary, you can override the default fittings for an individual run, or add a fitting manually. This is useful in design situations that require unique fittings.
When you add a plumbing fitting manually, the fitting breaks into the plumbing line, which results in a separate segment on each side of the fitting.
