Construction of Typical Piping Components

This section gives sample macros for the construction of typical Catalogue Piping Components using PARAGON.
Each macro starts at CATEGORY level. The view parameters used to produce the drawings shown vary between
each example, and so are not given here. Each drawing has REPRESENTATION settings of TUBE ON
CENTRELINE ON PPOINTS ON NUMBERS ON. Some of the Components are too large to fit onto a typical view
area when drawn at the default SCALE value of 1. Values of 0.5 are suggested for examples 1 and 3, and 0.05
for example 6.
The definition for each Component includes the possibility of insulation being present, although this is not drawn.
Note how the clash geometry and component geometry have been combined.
