You can manipulate elements in your model in any one of the following ways:

  • Select elements—Manually select individual elements, manually select multiple elements, select all elements, or select all elements of a single element type. See Select, Move, and Delete Elements.
  • Move elements—Move elements in the drawing pane. See Select, Move, and Delete Elements.
  • Delete elements—Remove elements from the model. See Select, Move, and Delete Elements.
  • Split pipes—Split an existing pipe into two new pipes by adding a new node element along the existing pipe. See Splitting Pipes.
  • Reconnect pipes—Disconnect an exisiting pipe from an existing node element and attach it to another existing node element. See Reconnect Pipes.
  • Model curved pipes—You can lay out curved pipes. See Modeling Curved Pipes.
  • Assign isolation valves to pipes—This tool finds the nearest pipe for each of the specified isolation valves and assigns the valve to that pipe. See Assign Isolation Valves to Pipes Dialog Box.
  • Batch split pipes—This tool allows you to split pipes with neighboring nodes that are found within the specified tolerance. See Batch Pipe Split Dialog Box.
  • Batch morph nodes—This tool allows you to morph a selected node type into another type of node element as a batch operation. See Batch Morph.
  • Merge nodes in close proximity—allows you to merge together nodes that fall within a specified tolerance of one another. See Merge Nodes in Close Proximity.
  • Select links adjacent to one or more nodes—This command lets you select all link elements attached to one or more nodes. See Select Adjacent Links.
