Editing a pipe run

Hello,

 

I have 2017 version of Plant 3d. I am running on Windows 10. I have created a long pipe run and inserted into a point cloud and have found that there is a possible interference so I need to edit a small section of the long pipe run (which has many bends). When I try to edit the elbows that I need to edit, the entire run is selected and I cannot edit anything other than pipe lengths. I need to rotate an elbow 45 degrees and change a 90 degree elbow to a 45. Does anyone have any idea how to make my pipe run editable?

 

Thank you,

Sherwin

@sherwinQQ42A,

 

Can you share some screen shots of your pipe run?

I found the solution. Selecting the pipe, then clicking "unlock connected parts" allowed me to delete the parts in the middle without losing the whole run. To prevent this, I should have not had the Pipe Bends feature turned on when I made the pipe run.
