edit piping systems

Thomasdemunck — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 07:37:53 GMT

Hi everyone,

in my project I designed a whole network of pipes for waste water, and another network for black water. Now I noticed that both networks changed into the same system Type. When I try to put one of the networks back into the system type where it belongs, ALL pipes turn into that system type. I also noticed that both networks have the same system name (which they shouldn't have). However when I try to edit the system (add or remove to system) I can't select an element to make one network go to system 1 and the other go to system 2.

Sorry, I hope my question is a little bit clear... english is not my native language 😄

Are these systems connected?

No, they are not physically connected. But I just tried the following:

When you hoover over one of the pipes and toggle to select the 'piping system', then you can delete it so it turns 'undefined'. after that you can reselect the right system type.

Sounds like you are all set and it was an easy fix.

I've seen this before where the system looks correct until you try to change it. It's sometimes caused by copying a pipe from one system or creating one with the wrong type or system and not changing it to the correct one before physically connecting it.
