Yes, you are right, nothing listed as 'stud pads'.

Do you plan to add them? I am trying to model some now, and have no idea how to make this work. I have two 8" 150# flange FACING connection points, flush with the top of a cooling tower. Never mind that P3D is measuring them off the top of the fan guard, I can't get the flange face flush with the top.

 

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

the quickest solution i have found is to model a solid to represent the stud pad, move it to the correct position and then use the Attach to Equipment to make it part of the equipment.

then use Add Nozzle to make it intelligent.

We model the equiment as a dumb autocad shape and then create a simple equipment shape (box) say 1" smaller than the autocad model that sits inside the autocad shape and then make the nozzles 1" long. Mainly use this on plate heat exchangers.
