Piping Lesson Five Part One PDF
Routers are a great tool in CADWorx Plant Professional. They allow you to “route”
centerlines of piping runs in 3D, and then have the system automatically place elbows
and pipe segments along the routing line.
The Router command also has a number of options to it which make modeling in 3D
even easier. For instance, you can tell the system to route your piping using a Bottom of
Pipe elevation, or you can have the system Slope the line. If you route a Rolled Offset,
the system will automatically Trim the Elbows for you as well.
This next section illustrates using the Router command, and then
you will route some lines in 3D in your model.
