pipe networking: how to reverse pipe?

[Anonymous]

How to reverse the direction of a single pipe? thanks

Rotate it about the midpoint of the pipe...

Sorry, hit enter by mistake. The pipe will rotate just like anything item in cad. If you rotate it 180 degrees about the midpoint, the pipe direction is reversed...

Pipes have two different concepts when it comes to direction, flow direction and drawn direction.

To change the flow direction, select the pipe, expand out the Modify panel on the pipe contextual ribbon tab, and choose "Change Flow Direction".

To change the drawn direction, grip edit one end to a temporary location, grip edit the other end to the location the first end was, then grip edit the first end to where the second end was. Basically just manually flipping the pipe around. I'm not sure of any other way to do that.

If you do this, and the pipe was connected to structures at either end, the rotated pipe will not be connected so you'll need to grip edit the pipe so it reconnects to the structures.

If the pipe is a single pipe not connected to anything, this works great.
