About Welds and Stub-Ins

Create field welds, specify reinforcement pads, and set alignment for stub-ins.

Welds are created automatically as you route pipe. If you want to specify precise weld location and type (for example: field weld) you can add a weld to pipe. You can also break long pipe into segments such that the segments do not exceed a specified length (for example: 20').

Welds and reinforcement pads are subobjects of a connector. You can press Ctrl when selecting welds to display properties and grips. For more information, see About Selecting Subobjects.

When you create a branch connection, you can specify a stub-in. After the stub-in is created you can add a reinforcement pad.

When connecting with a stub-in you align center lines by default.

You can also align the top or bottom of pipe when creating a stub-in while routing.
