Routing Preferences for pipes
There are also duct and pipe system families available that define duct
and piping systems within your project. The properties of a duct or piping
system allow you to control the graphical display of components that belong
to the system. This is independent of the Object Styles settings for the
components. However, view filter settings take precedence over the
graphical settings for these systems, so if you use a filter to turn a supply
duct blue, for example, it will be blue regardless of the settings defined in
the supply duct system family. The dialog box will also give you an option
for a fabrication service if required, and you can also determine whether
calculations are performed within the system, as shown in
Figure 2.37
.
For
pipe systems, you can also choose the fluid type and temperature, which can
be important if pressure drop is being calculated.
