  • Sets offset to connection at End2 farther from the center on the box side along the depth. Higher values extend the box depth to accommodate the offset.
Branch | Length Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets branch length of tee. Center line distance between side branch divergence point to End3 connect point.
Branch | Outer Diameter Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets outside diameter of Side branch (End3).
Branch Vertical Offset Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets offset to connections at End1 and End3 farther from the center on the box side along the length. Higher values extend the box length to accommodate the offset.
Connection 1 | Length (L1) Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length of connection at End1.
Connection 2 | Length (L2) Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length of connection at End2.
Connection 3 | Length (L3) Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets the straight length of connection at End2.
Connection | End Type fl -<numeric value>

m -<numeric value>
  • Sets and sizes end with a male connection.
fe -<numeric value>
  • Sets and sizes end with a female connection.
Separate End Type entries for each End Spec with a semi colon.

Example: ce-0.2;fe-.03 creates a compression at End1 with size 0.2, and a female connection at End2 with a clearance of 0.3.

Plumbing Connection | Outer Diameter Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets pipe outside diameter for End1 and End2.
Tag <alpha-numeric characters>
  • Sets tag value visible in output of drawing composition in dynamic view. Separate tag strings with a semi colon.
Tee Length Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets distance between End1 and End2 of main pipe of tee.
Total Length Positive <numeric value>
  • Sets distance between End1 and End2 of fitting.
