About Creating Piping Components

Add piping components to a catalog.

If a component is not available in a default Plant 3D catalog, you can add your own piping components. A component must be in a catalog before it can be added to a spec.

When you create a piping component, you specify the component type (Plant 3D Class), choose a parametric model, and assign sizes and dimensions to the component.

Note: It is easier to copy a similar piping component and modify it than it is to create a component. For more information see Modify Piping Components in a Catalog.
