Pipeworks Profile Labeling - Pipe Properties

[Anonymous]

See attached. How do I get the pipe properties tp default to what I tell it to? I looked in the parts list, but did not see a place to set the description of the pipe. So when I add pipes it is getting the description hilghted in dark blue on the attached image. I want it to say (in this case) "8" PVC," not "PVC Pipe."

Can anyone tell me where the setting is?

thanks.

By default C3D uses the Part Family as the Part description, there was an explanation of 'why' back in 2010. There is an option under Pipe Network Feature Settings to allow the use of the Part Size Name as the description.
