Setting Parallel Pipes

Shows step-by-step how to set parallel pipes.

Before you begin

In the dialog Set parallel pipes you configure the pipes which already have a constructed pipe run with parallel pipes in order to extend them to a pipeline corridor. The pipes can be assembled from various disciplines and system classes, materials and dimensions. In the ventilation discipline, the function for round air ducts can be used.

Navigate to:

Project tab ➤ Discipline ➤ Construction tab ➤ Parallel pipes

Applies to: heating, potable water, waste water, ventilation, cooling, gas, fire protection.

    The order of the pipes can also be changed by drag and drop.

  8. Click OK to apply the settings.

Results

The parallel pipes are configured and are displayed in the Parallel pipes section.

Note:

The last created configuration of the parallel pipes is stored in the program and is available in other disciplines and projects.

What to do next

Use the Parallel pipes < function to extend an already designed pipe run to a pipeline corridor.
