Use this dialog box to enter the initial pipe run creation parameters such as a name, optional description, parts list, layers, and more.
You can also select a reference surface and/or an alignment to associate with the pipe run.
- Network Name
-
Displays the name of the pressure network to which the pipe run will be associated.
- Pipe Run name
-
Specifies the name of the pipe run. Each pipe run must have a unique name.
-
Pipe Run Template -
Opens the Name Template dialog box, where you can modify the pipe run naming template.
- Pipe Run Description
-
Specifies an optional description for the pipe run.
- Parts List
-
Specifies the parts list associated with the the pipe run. For more information, see To Work With Pressure Network Parts Lists.
- Pipe Size
-
Specifies the size and material for the pipes of the pipe run. This list is populated by the associated parts list.
- Layers
-
Opens the Pressure Network Layers dialog box, where you can assign the pressure network components to specific layers in the drawing.
- Reference Surface
-
Specifies the reference surface associated with this pipe run. The surface is used as elevational data for the pipe run.
- Create Surface Profile to Follow
-
When selected, a surface profile will be created from the reference surface. The surface profile is available for selection from the Pipe Run Profile Settings dialog box.
- Cover
-
Specifies that the top of the pipe run is set at a specified depth below the reference surface. If the value is negative, the top of the pipe run is set above the reference surface. This value is measured between the reference surface and the outside top of the pipe or pipe fittings as defined in the Pipe Run Profile Settings dialog box.
- Reference Alignment
-
Specifies the reference alignment associated with this pipe run.Note: This alignment is used for the purposes of labeling the pipe run with station and offset information. The reference alignment may be the same alignment you associate with the pipe run for purposes of viewing and editing in profile view, but it is not required that it is the same.
