Connectivity Checker
The Connectivity Checker option checks for proper connectivity along piping runs. It should be noted that Modeler checks for connectivity during normal routing activities. Reasons for improper connections are most commonly a result of moving or copying components, then improperly placing them at new locations.
The Connectivity Checker can be launched from the following locations:- Piping Ribbon: Checks for disconnects on piping components for the entire model.
- Pipeline Manager: Checks for disconnects on selected pipelines.
- Trayline Manager: Checks for disconnects for CableTray components.
- HVAC Ribbon: Checks for disconnects for HVAC components in the entire model.
- HVAC System Manager: Checks for disconnects on selected HVAC components.
