    In plant3d I cannot change the size of a pipe or valve etc, when I click on the item there is no drop down list in the properties dialog box for size. Please help.

    Is there no size property in the Plant 3D section of the Property Palette, or is there no pull down for sizes?

    Thanks for your reply. The properties pallete does have size as a property but it has no drop down list so no way of changing the size of any items, this happens on all specs even out of the box plant3d specs.

    the setting for weather things are viewable or editable in the properties box are controlled in the project setup.

    in the project properties box, pick: Plant 3D Class Definitions and say: P3d Line Group.

    on the right hand side note the settings for nominal size - read only - visible in area view etc

     

    I think this might be the control your after

     

    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply. Attached is a view from my project setup, nominal size is not shown as read only.
