Plan Tab (Pressure Pipe Style Dialog Box)

Use this tab to define the appearance of the pressure pipe in a 2D plan view.

Pipe Wall Sizes

Specifies the method that will be used to define and draw the dimensions of the pipe wall.

Use Part Dimensions

The inner and outer pipe wall dimensions are drawn according to the pipe dimensions based on properties from the catalog.

User Defined

The inner and outer pipe wall dimensions are drawn according to user-specified values.

Tip: When the same pipeline is shown on two different plans, each with very different scales, it can be difficult to see the pipeline on the larger scale plan. You could use this setting to display a larger pipe diameter while maintaining the correct diameter in the model and labels derived from it.

Pipe End Line Size

Specifies the method that will be used to define and draw the dimensions of the pipe ends.

Draw To Inner Walls

The pipe end line draws to the inner walls of the pipe.

Draw To Outer Walls

The pipe end line draws to the outer walls of the pipe.

User Defined

The pipe end line draws to a size specified by the user.

Pipe Hatch Options

Specifies which components of the pipe shape display a hatch pattern.

Hatch To Inner Walls

The hatch pattern is displayed only in the central area of the pipe. When this option is selected, the pipe wall (which is the area between the inner wall and the outer wall of the pipe) is not hatched.

Hatch To Outer Walls

The hatch pattern is displayed in the entire area of the pipe, including the pipe wall. When this option is selected, the pipe wall (which is the area between the inner wall and the outer wall of the pipe) is hatched.

Hatch Walls Only

The hatch pattern is displayed only in the pipe walls. The pipe wall is the area between the pipe inner wall and the pipe outer wall.

Align Hatch To Pipe

When this option is selected, the angle of the hatch lines for the pipe align with the angle of the pipe.
