When creating rigid pipe styles, the required components depend on the type of rigid style being created.
- Typically three compatible parts are required: a pipe, a coupling, and an elbow. If you require both 45-degree and 90-degree elbows, four parts are required.
- Self Draining styles require five components: a pipe, a coupling, a 45-degree elbow, a 90-degree elbow, and a previously published custom elbow or tee that matches the slope angle.
- Welded tube and pipe styles typically need two part types: a pipe and a 90-degree elbow. Butt welded styles have two requirements. Set a gap size for the groove welds, and specify whether to display the gaps in the graphics window and drawings.
- Flanged styles require: a pipe, an elbow, a flange instead of a coupling, and an optional gasket.
Note: When you switch between styles or create new styles during edits, you are prompted whether to save edits. Click Yes to save edits to the current style before proceeding or click No to proceed without saving changes to the current style. As you create new style definitions, you can also create categories in which to organize them. Categories are optional.
