| + | === Introduction === | ||
| + | The creation of piping components for RhinoPiping is highly flexible and quite fast. You can create as many components as you want, even with the free RhinoPiping LT license. The main characteristics of a component will be: | ||
| + | * From one up to eight connection circles. Each of them can have a different diameter. | ||
| + | * No limitation concerning the shape. The component can contain curves, surfaces, solids, or meshes. | ||
| + | === Preparing a Rhino3D model === | ||
| + | Before it could be imported as a RhinoPiping component, you should add to your Rhino model a closed circle for each future pipe connection point. They will become the basis to generate the actual piping connection circle. | ||
| + | <WRAP center round tip 80%> | ||
| + | If your design allows it, the fastest way would be to use the Rhino command: _dupedge | ||
| + | Else the command: _circle would obviously do the job | ||

| + | <WRAP center round tip 80%> | ||
| + | **Tip for using an existing component as a basis: | ||
| + | - Insert the component with the command RP_AddComponent (don’t connect it to a pipeline) | ||
| + | - Use the command _explode: it won’t be anymore a piping component (No connection circles) | ||
| + | - Remodel it as needed, and then create a new component from it | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | === Creating a component === | ||
| + | - Select every element: | ||
| + | - Launch the command: RP_CC_CreateItem | ||
| + | - Name your component: | ||
| + | * The name shall not contain special characters and blank spaces, except “-” and/or “_”. | ||
| + | * Don’t use the diameter in the component’s name. All identical components with different diameters should have the same name because RhinoPiping will automatically use the right DN/NPS. | ||
| + | * The character “/” let you define the hierarchy in the component tree. | ||
| + | For example: '' | ||
| + | <WRAP center round todo 60%>Add image</ | ||
| + | * Select your connection circles. (If you followed this guide you created them before) For each of them, RhinoPiping will try to detect the corresponding nominal size and ask you for confirmation: | ||
