Moving Pipe End Feature: Exercise Objective: In this exercise you will be moving the end (feature) point of a pipeline P-204 in Area01 to a new location by moving the end feature of the pipe run by 12 ft in the upward direction. Key in -1 ft for El on the PinPoint ribbon to move and define the position of the pipe straight feature 1 ft from the centerline of the pipe 400-P.Ĭlick in the graphic view to accept the position of the moved pipe feature. The selected pipe appears with bordered outline in the graphic view. Select the Pipe Straight Feature to be moved. Select the Move To option on the Edit ribbon to specify the new position of the pipe feature to be moved.

When you select the Pipe Straight Feature, an Edit ribbon appears. A branch feature connected to the moved leg maintains its original angle. The move direction is always perpendicular to the axis of the Pipe Straight Feature. While moving a Pipe Straight Feature the entire pipe run to which the feature is connected moves. Select the Pipe Straight Feature, as shown in Figure 3, to specify the piping feature that you will move with respect to 400-P. Select the Pipe Straight Feature of the pipeline 400-P, as shown in Figure 2, to specify the centerline of the pipe as origin. Select the Reposition Target option on the PinPoint ribbon to change the target origin. Select the Piping Features option in the Locate Filter drop-down list to select only piping features in the graphic view. 1.Īctivate the PinPoint ribbon from the Tools>PinPoint command.

Make sure you are in the Piping task and the Active Permission Group is set to Piping.Define your workspace to display Unit U04 and the coordinate system U04 CS.After moving these pipe runs the graphic view should resemble Figure 1.įigure 1: Moved Pipe Straight Feature of Pipeline 400-P SP3D Piping Practice Lab: Manipulating Piping Objects Moving Pipe Straight Feature: Exercise Objective: In this exercise you will be moving the pipe runs from pipeline 400-P 1 ft from the runs current position.
