How To Place a Support using a Support Locator

Select the Pipe Clamp option from the Catalog Pipe Attachments tool drawer.
When prompted to select a pipe, double click on the top pipe with the Support Locator.
The following message prompts you to select a steel (structural) component to align the support with.
If you intend to connect the support to a support structure, select it now. Otherwise, click <ESC> to manually select a location along the pipe section.
The Properties Dialog displays. This dialog is used to define the properties of the support component. The essential properties are marked in red.
Under the Catalog section, click in the field next to Standard/Catalog to display a grid providing a list of available Pipe Clamp components along with all of the catalog information for the components.

Note: The columns can be adjusted for better viewing using the drag and drop method on the column headers.
Select a pipe clamp option from the grid. When you do, OpenPlant Modeler will populate the remaining essential fields using the catalog information of the selected clamp.
Note: The essential fields that were originally displayed in red, will now display in blue, identifying they have been modified.
When finished defining properties click OK.
Select a point on the Support Locator to place the support (in this example the Clamp).
Left click one time to complete the placement.
The Linenumber, Unit and Service information is transferred to the clamp.
If you have no further need for the locator, you can delete it using the standard Delete Element command.
