  1. Click Route Pipe Command on the vertical toolbar.

  2. Select the run starting point in an elevation view.

  3. On the New Pipe Run Dialog, select the parent Pipeline.

  4. In the Name box, type a name for the pipe run. If you do not type a name, the software automatically generates a name.

  5. Select the Minimum Slope box, and then type the slope for the pipe run. For example, 2deg or 0.5in / 1.0ft.

  6. Click OK to close the dialog.

  7. In the Specify Slope Direction Dialog, specify if you are routing from the high point or the low point of the pipe run. Also, select Run contains multiple slope orientation to indicate that the pipe run will slope both up and down.

    After you specify that a pipe run has multiple slope orientations, you cannot clear the selection. You should only route pipe runs with multiple slope orientations when it is absolutely required. In addition, pipe runs with multiple slope orientations might behave unexpectedly during modification operations.

  8. Click OK.
