Controls the drawing depiction method used when a vertical branch connection is made to a sloping (falling) pipeline, cable tray, or duct using a special zero length bend component.
This special bend (which has no length) is used to carry the angle between the vertical branch and the sloping pipeline, cable tray, or duct. Two drawing methods are available: one method shows a small 2D skew box section between the branch and the main pipe, while the other method does not.
-
True displays the short tee branch leg section of pipe, cable tray, or duct skewed. Olets have an orientation message instead of a skewed section. Both are dimensioned separately to the connecting pipe, cable tray, or duct.
-
False connects the vertical branch straight into the main pipe, cable tray, or duct so that there are no separate skew sections. Olets do not have an orientation message. Both are included in a single inclusive dimension.

-
Where olets are used in such cases, a text message indicates the orientation direction if the branch is not developed.
-
In both cases, the angle between the vertical branch and the sloping (falling) pipeline, cable tray, or duct is indicated.
-
The ability to control the drawing depiction method between a vertical branch connection and a sloping cable tray or sloping duct is applicable only for Smart 3D models.
