Before you draw a plumbing run, you specify a system. As you draw the run, the software inserts plumbing fittings based on the default fittings configured in that system definition.
Generally, this insertion behavior for fittings is desirable because all of the runs in a plumbing system typically have the same types of fittings. For example, a sanitary waste system typically has runs with sanitary tee fittings. However, you can override the default fittings for an individual run that you are drawing. This enables the run to have a unique set of fittings regardless of the system.
To override the default plumbing fittings for an individual run
If you want to specify a… | then click… |

tee | Tee, and click a type of tee. |
tee up | Tee Up, and click a type of tee. |
tee down | Tee Down, and click a type of tee. |
cross | Cross, and click a type of cross. |
transition | Transition, and click a type of transition. |
Once you end the command, the software restores the default fittings to those specified in the plumbing system definitions.
