Use rule sets to create customized rule behavior for pipe network parts.

A default “rule set” exists for both pipes and structures. The rule set simply provides a way for you to create a set of customized rules. You can add or exclude certain rules, or edit certain rule values, and save them in a named rule set designed to control the behavior for a specific pipe network or project.

For more information, see Part Rules, the Pipe Rule Set dialog box, or the Structure Rule Set dialog box

To create a rule set

  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand either the Pipe or Structure collection.
  2. Right-click either Pipe Rule Set or Structure Rule Set. Click New.
  3. On the Rule Set Information tab, enter a name for the new rule set. Optionally, enter a description.
  4. Click the Rules tab.
  5. Click Add Rule to add a rule.
  6. In the Add Rule dialog box, in the Rule Name drop-down list, select a rule to add.

    When you select a rule, its parameters are displayed in the Rule Parameters table.

  7. Click OK in the Add Rule dialog box.
  8. Edit a rule value by clicking a value on the Rules tab and entering a new value, or select one from a list.
  9. Click Apply or OK to save the changes.
