Supress Dimnensions

[thebearjed]

is there a way to supress vent/drain dimensions on the isometrics like in isogen.

This is possible. By default the vent/drain piping has all dimensions turned off in project setup:

Plant 3D 2012 defines vent and drain pipe by a certain set of criteria:

- Small bore pipe (according to the value set in Theme Criteria of the Title Block and Display section of Isometric DWG Settings)

- Valve is placed somewhere on the line

- No more than 6 components (for example)

- Begins with an olet

Is posible to change this criteria? Where you find it?

 I was thinking that drain and vent pipes configured in the 3d model, properties of the pipe, type pipe (the same as "New" or "Demolition"), no?

As far as I know it's just inside the code where it determines what parts are on the pipe run. If I find out there is a setting for this I will give you an update.

Thank you,

Has there been any updates to the criteria to the vents and drains.  Can we configure it our selfs?  Sometimes my vents and drains are not started with an olet and sometimes they are more than 6 parts (i.e. double block and bleed) and sometimes the drain is up to 2".

eadkins73...That is exactly them same issues i have. i wish there were some way to specify drain/vent start points.
