Grips for Adding to a Pipe Run
The add grips ( ) on pipe segments, pipe fittings, and MvParts let you accurately add more pipe objects
to a run. Add grips ensure connectivity along the pipe run.
On a pipe segment
On a pipe fitting
On an MvPart (pump)
Used to draw pipe directly from a
pump (isometric view)
Add grips on some fittings let you create a new branch directly from the fitting. For example, you can use
an add grip on an elbow to convert it to a tee when drawing a pipe run. The existing pipe branches remain
connected.
