Fittings are used to simulate elements other than pipes in the network. The available fittings are:
- Tanks
- Valves (Manual and Automatic)
- Sprays
- Junctions
- Pumps
Changes made to the objects in the box are highlighted in BLUE. The changes are applied to the pipe when;
- Apply is pressed – the Edit Box form will apply changes and remain open
- OK is pressed – the Edit Box form will apply changes and close
If another pipe is selected, the changes will be applied, and the next pipe data will be displayed.
Multiple pipes can be selected and simultaneously edited from the Edit Box. Note that not all edit functions are available for multiple editing and some functions may be hidden. To utilise multiple pipe editing, simply select the required pipes before the Edit Box is opened. Only attributes that are changed (and therefore highlighted in BLUE) are applied to the selected pipe(s).
Presets can be access by clicking . If the preset is changed, all the objects to which this preset is applied will change.
Adding Fittings
As for pipes and channels, fittings will be added onto the horizontal Edit Plane. If a pipe is clicked, the pipe will be separated in two parts and the fitting added at the junction. In order to facilitate the addition of fitting, click-and-drag will select the possible positions in pipes for this specific fitting:
- At every open pipe for : sprays and tanks.
- At every junction between two pipes for : pumps, valves and junctions.
