Dynamic Cable/Pipeline

Introduction

The dynamic cable/pipeline object is used to visualize cables/pipelines in the 3D scene and is one of the outputs from Qimera TOP (Top of Pipe) tools.

If X-Point Listings are defined in Qimera they will also show up in Fledermaus, but are not editable from within Fledermaus.

Properties

No additional properties.

Attributes

KP Labels

The Show KP Labels checkbox toggles the visibility (on/off) of KP text labels on a pipeline.

The KP Label Interval combo box sets the distance between each KP label that is shown on the pipe by the value specified in the combo box. This combo box is only enabled when Show KP Labels checkbox is toggled on.

Operations

Create Profile...

Creates a new Dynamic Profiler object along the length of the cable/pipe. The control points of the profiler are created from the control points of the cable/pipeline. The cable/pipe control points are determined when creating the cable/pipe and cannot be edited in Fledermaus; however, the profiler control points can be freely edited like any other profiler. Once created, the new Profiler is loaded into the Profile Dock for viewing.

Calculate KP Values

This is the same Calculate KP Values operation found in the Data Viewing Panel for cable/pipeline objects.  For convenience, it is available in the operations menu.  The same procedures and restrictions listed there apply here, also.

Exports

There are no exports operations for this object.
