OpenPlant Modeler Help

Fitting Attachment Placement

To place a fitting attachment, a standard procedure is used for most of the available components.

Note: OpenPlant Modeler components all share a common Properties Dialog .
  1. Select a support option from the tool drawer.
  2. Select the elbow component to be supported.

    Reset to opt for the Free Placement method.

    The Properties dialog opens.

  3. In the Properties dialog, select the specific component type from those provided in the Standard/Catalog drop list.
  4. Define additional component properties as necessary.
  5. Use either the mouse, or the Path Placement Dialog to determine the precise location and rotation for the component.
Note: For component placed using the Stretch Method for placement, the Stretch dialog is displayed instead of the Path Placement dialog.
Note: While placing OpenPlant Modeler supports, you are using referenced piping/structural/equipment models to help determine the location of the support component. Click Here for additional information on attaching the referenced model(s).
