Pipeline and Pipeline Connector gizmos
The gizmos available for pipelines and pipeline connectors are as follows:
Vertex Location and elevation gizmos Vertex location and elevation giz-
mos are available for pipelines and pipeline connectors. When you drag a vertex
location gizmo, the pipeline vertex or pipeline connector will maintain its rela-
tionship to the terrain.
the Move gizmo The move gizmo has four parts: three axis arrows (x, y, and z)
and a square in the x-y plane. If you click and drag an arrow, you will move the
pipeline or pipeline connector along that axis. If you click and drag the square,
you will move the object in the x-y plane only.
the rotate gizmo The rotate gizmo rotates a pipeline or pipeline connector
around a point near its center. For pipelines that have multiple segments, all
segments will be rotated in unison. To rotate a pipeline connector, you can also
use the Orientation property covered in the next section.
the Height gizmo The height gizmo is available only if a 3D model style is
applied. This is true for pipelines and pipeline connectors. The height gizmo sets
the scale of the 3D objects displayed for the pipeline or pipeline connector.
Like you have seen with other objects, pipelines will maintain their relationship
to the terrain as long as no individual edits have been made to the vertices. When
no edits have been made in this manner, a pipeline can be moved using the move
gizmo, or its individual vertices can be moved using the vertex location gizmo, and
the entire pipeline will maintain its relationship to the terrain. In fact, if you use
the vertical axis arrow on the move gizmo, it will have no effect on the pipeline.
Pipeline connectors behave slightly differently. If you use the move gizmo to
change the location of a pipeline connector, it will maintain its relationship to
the terrain. If you use the vertex location gizmo, it will not and will maintain its
current elevation. However, once you edit the elevation of the pipeline connector
using the vertex elevation gizmo, it will not retain its relationship to the terrain
regardless of how you move it.
