Displays properties for pipeline systems. Pipelines orgainize pipe runs in your model and are created in the Systems and Specifications task. You are not restricted to piping systems when creating pipelines. You can create pipelines under any previously created system. When you create a pipeline, you should define a fluid requirement and a fluid type.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

percentage
If a run drops 1" for every 10" of horizontal distance, specify the slope as 10%.
degrees
A five-degree slope can be specified as 5deg.
When routing a sloped pipe, use a slope value that is larger than the Minimum Slope for the pipe run to avoid Invalid Slope Angle To-Do-Record (TDR). The software compares design slope and minimum slope of the pipe run. If there is a difference between the values caused by any modification, the software generates a TDR.
Name
Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip.

If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Nominal Piping Diameter
Specifies the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) to use for this pipe run. The pipe specification controls the available NPDs in this list. If you select an equipment nozzle as the starting point of your pipe run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the pipe run. You can select the NPD units to display on a session file basis using the Menu > Options Command on the Units of Measure Tab (Options Dialog).
