The End Spec<value>_<value> schema

Mechanical discipline end conditions are modified in the End Spec schema properties, often termed as Connection Parameters. The three types of properties are arranged in different combinations depending upon the geometry of the active component.

The schema name also displays the number of end connections and shape types in the parenthesis as "(# of end Connections: Shape1 | Shape2 | Shape 3)", where shape type 1 is for rectangular, 2 for round and 3 for oval shapes. For example, the End Spec schema for Rectangular to Round Transition displays End Spec 2_12 (2 Connections: Rect | Round) implies the fitting has 2 connections, the first being a rectangular end and the second a round end.
