2. Pick the branch part, and press Enter.

3. Slide the part to the intended location.

4. Click or press Space to accept the move.

Rotate branch

You can rotate a branch around the centerline of the main pipe. If the other end of the branch part is connected to a piping part, the connection breaks and that other part does not move along to the new position.

Do the following:

1. On the Piping tab, in the Pipe group, select Edit branch > Rotate branch.

2. Pick the branch part, and press Enter.

3. Use the on-screen tool or the Enter rotation angle (Alt+R) command to define the new rotation value.

4. Click or press Space to accept the rotation value.

5. Press Enter to accept the move.
