If you have the Apply Branch Table Rule set to Automatic some of the prompts are not received. In this scenario, the software reads the branch
table in the specification. To review the branch table, open the project, select the
specification, and then select the Branch tab on the Edit component pane.
-
Type CHANGESIZE on the command line, and press ENTER.
-
Type M for manual.
-
Select a line with a tee component to change, and then press ENTER.

Select a size from the list that appears.
If you select more than one component and a small size, the software prompts you
to select the sizes for each component. When you finish, the reducer prompt displays.
If you select more than one component and a large size, the software prompts you with
Change current component and add Reducer at branch. The prompts following your selections depend on the other components you select.
-
Follow the prompts to select the best option for your model.
In most instances the following prompt displays.
The software displays the following prompt when a line is not going to change size
and requires a reducer. This happens, when you select a tee and you do not select
the lines next to the tee. This can also happen, when you select a tee and you do
not select the branch line of the tee. The software prompts for a reducer for any
line that does not require a size change.
-
Select the reducers as required.
-
Select a component to keep its position, or press ENTER to finish.
The tee changes size.
-
If the software displays the prompt The model cannot change size, then there is an issue with the model components. For instance, this can happen if you select a tee and the line requires a reducer to be inserted. However, the pipe next to the tee is too short for the software to accommodate the reducer. If this happens, check the lengths of the piping and make sure there is room to accommodate the added components, and then run Change Size again.
-
If you select a single tee and change to a small size, the software takes you immediately to step 6.
-
It is possible to receive the following prompt when changing the size of a tee. The software provides a list of available components if the size of the reducing tee does not exist or if a component change is needed.
