Pipe Run Profile Settings Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to specify settings for a pipe run profile.

You can specify an offset and an offset reference, and the offset style for the pipe run profile.

General

Pipe Run

Specifies the name of the pipe run to which the selected settings will be applied.

Offset Style
Specify one of the following styles for the pipe run profile:
  • Cut Length. Specifies the offset is applied to each pipe length (based on the cut length defined for the pipe part) at the top of the pipe geometry in the pipe run.
  • Offset at Bends. Specifies the offset is applied to the top of the bend geometry in the pipe run.
Reference Profile
Specifies an offset reference for the pipe run. Specify one of the following:
  • None. Does not apply an offset to the pipe run.
  • Profile. Uses a surface profile, a layout profile, or a profile that was created with the pipe run as the offset reference. Select a profile from the list.
  • Create From Surface. Creates a new profile from an existing surface in the drawing. Select a surface from the Pick a Surface list.
Offset Distance

Specifies the distance of offset between the Offset Style location and the Reference Profile of the pipe run. Select Update Dynamically to maintain the offset if the pipe run is modified. By default, the whole pipe run is offset unless station ranges have been created that are not specified as Dynamic on the Overrides tab.

Draw Profile in
Specifies a profile view in which to display the pipe run. Select one of the following:
  • New Profile View. Opens the Create Profile View wizard which you can use to specify settings for creating a new profile view in the drawing for the pipe run profile.
  • Existing Profile View. Prompts you to select an existing profile view in which to display a new pipe run profile or to update an existing pipe run profile.
  • Update Only. Updates the profile but does not prompt you for a profile view.

Overrides

Pipe Run Offset Range List

Clean Up PVIs
