Change size and place transitions

Split the run where the size changes and get the transition into the quantities.

Draw and take off5 min8 steps
  1. 1

    Finish the run where the size changes

    Double-click at the point where the new size takes over. One run carries a single size the whole way, so the change has to become two runs.

  2. 2

    Set the new size in the panel

    Change Size under Pipe. The text under the lists says The next pipe you draw gets these values.

  3. 3

    Start the next run at the same point

    Click the end you have just finished at. The point snaps to the existing run as long as the material is the same.

  4. 4

    Check the transition that was placed automatically

    When two runs of the same material meet in different sizes, a transition is placed at the point. Connect into the middle of a run and a junction comes with it.

    Worth knowing. A transition is only placed between runs of the same material. Change both material and size and you place the object yourself.

  5. 5

    Place a transition by hand

    Take Object, pick Adaptor or Junction and click at the point. The dialogue Transition between sizes opens.

  6. 6

    Fill in which sizes the transition joins

    From and To come pre-filled off the run nearest the point. Put them right if they came out wrong, pick Pipe material and press Save transition.

    Worth knowing. Pick the same size on both sides and no size change is saved. The object stays on the drawing, but with no transition.

  7. 7

    Change a transition afterwards

    Click the object row in Drawn and measured and press Change transition. The same dialogue opens again.

  8. 8

    Change the size on a run that is already drawn

    Open the row of the run in Drawn and measured and change Size there. The quantity list is worked out again straight away.

    Worth knowing. The transitions are not worked out again when you change a finished run. They were placed when the run was drawn, so go through them in Drawn and measured afterwards.
