About Valves and Operators

You can place valves while routing pipe or place valves from the Spec Viewer or the tool palette.

Dynamic Input is supported when you place valves while routing pipe.

Fitting-to-fitting mode allows you to place adjacent valves without specifying points.

After you have placed the valve, you can pick a different valve using the Substitution grip on the valve.

Valve Operators

Valves that support multiple operators are placed with a default operator such as a hand wheel or hand lever.

You can replace the default operator with a cone, a cylinder, or remove the operator (none).

You can also override the operator to specify a parametric shape or an AutoCAD block.

Standard bolt lengths are specified in the catalog. You can use the Spec Editor to open a catalog and edit bolt length mapping.

In the 3D model, set the bolt compatible standard name in the properties palette.
