Placement Type

Displays all the placement types. The components listed in each placement type are based on the piping specification and nominal diameter of the object selected along with the geometry at the insertion location. By default, Specification is selected in the Placement Type box.

Specification

Places components based on what is defined in the piping specification.

Instruments

Short Code

Specifies the short code associated with the object.

Option Code

Displays the option for the selected component. In addition, the Option list contains any options defined in the piping specification for the selected short code. Selecting a value from the Option list updates the objects.

Position and Orientation

Branch Position

Select the position of the branch centerline relative to the header centerline.

Radial

Places the branch such that its center line intersects the header centerline.

Com_Move ICON Move

Moves the selected object.

S3D_Point_Start ICON Move From Position (Ctrl + T)

Specifies the point from which to start the move.

S3D_Point_End ICON Move To Position (T)

Specifies the point at which to finish the move.

Rotate (Ctrl + R)

Starts rotation for the selected object. See Rotate equipment for one example of how to use these controls.

Press RIGHT and select Rotate to rotate the object 90 degrees clockwise about the active axis.

Press LEFT and select Rotate to rotate the object 90 degrees counter-clockwise about the active axis.

Angle Step

Specifies the angle about the axis that the object rotates when you select Step Rotation S3D_Angle_Step. Enter a value in the Angle Step box, or select a blank space in the control panel to remove the input focus from the box.

Press G to set the focus to the active graphic view.

Press CTRL+LEFT to rotate the object clockwise one step about the Axis.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT to rotate the object counter-clockwise one step about the Axis.

S3D_Angle_Step Step Rotation

Rotates the object corresponding to the defined angle one step about the active axis. This control is not available if Angle Step is undefined or is set to zero.

Select a blank space in the control panel to remove the input focus, and then press G to set the focus to the active graphic view.

Press SHIFT to rotate the object counter-clockwise.

S3D_CartesianCoordinate_East_X ICON Active Axis for Rotation (UP arrow)

Specifies the axis about which Smart 3Dx rotates the object. The available options include: S3D_CartesianCoordinate_East_X ICON X-Axis, Y Axis ICON Y-Axis, and S3D_CartesianCoordinate_Elevation_Z ICON Z-Axis.

This option does not display for grids.

S3D_Target_Reposition ICON Reposition Rotate Origin

Moves the rotation triad to a position that you specify. The rotation triad indicates the point about which the rotation occurs. Select a point in the graphic view to specify the new location.

S3D_Target_RepositionToOrigin ICON Reset Rotate Origin

Moves the rotation triad origin to the origin of the selected object.

If keyboard shortcuts are not working when you move or rotate objects, select the application title bar to reset the focus. Smart 3Dx indicates focus by displaying the bright blue border.

Run

Displays options for creating and selecting pipe runs.

Select

Specifies a parent run from the graphic view or from the System Hierarchy Explorer. You can also select recently used runs from the Select Run list.

Select from P&ID
