About Showing Connected Runs

For mechanical, electrical, and piping systems, an entire run can be highlighted. This feature can be helpful when designs are complicated or when you need to verify connectivity.

The connector style rules determine whether valid connections exist between objects. If an invalid connection is detected within the run, the run is highlighted only up to the invalid connection.

In addition to equipment, a branch, such as a tee or cross, typically represents the start point or endpoint of a run. When a branch is detected within a run, the highlighting ends at the branch.
