To Modify the Nominal Size of a Plumbing Line Segment

  1. Select the plumbing line segment in your drawing.
  2. Click Home tab Build panel Tools drop-down Properties .
  3. On the Design tab of the Properties palette, under Dimensions, specify a different nominal size.
  4. Specify a new size for Nominal Size.
    Tip: You can lock Nominal size. When locked, the nominal size list is inactive and the associated diameter cannot be modified. You can, however, still modify the length or elevation of a plumbing object. To turn off a size, unlock this setting on the Properties palette.
    Note: Alternatively, you can select a plumbing line, click Plumbing Line tab Modify panel Modify Plumbing Line , and change the setting for Nominal Size or lock the setting.

    The plumbing line style determines the appearance and function of the line, including size. As a result, the defined plumbing line style dictates the nominal sizes that are available for selection on the Properties palette.

    Note: Since plumbing lines are two-dimensional (2D) only, the size of a plumbing line is for calculation purposes only. Changing the size of a plumbing line does not automatically insert the necessary fitting.
