Pipe Support Modeler assists the user to create and edit the secondary supports in an easy and intelligent manner. Assistant Secondary Support features enable the user to create multiple and different types of supports from predefined supports. A user-friendly GUI provides flexibility by allowing the user to create variations in predefined type of supports during the data entry stage for e.g. offset,orientation and industry validations. Supports created using ‘Create Support’ wizard are both constructible and erectable.

Edit Secondary Support
This feature enables the user to modify the existing support
in an easy manner. The edit feature recognizes the support
created using create support wizard. It will fetch the
parameters entered at the time of creation of support. Edit
feature will honor the insertion point selected by user at the
time of placement and recreate the structure as per updated
parameters. User can also add/remove base plate from
existing support.
Apart from maintaining backward compatibility, the Edit
Secondary Support feature enables the user to select the
structure created in previous versions to recreate as per the
additional validations incorporated in the latest version.

Hookup drawing
Hookup drawing feature enables the user to create automatic
production drawings of selected type of support/s. The user
can create hookup drawing for selected secondary support
as well as multiple supports of a specific type.
Each type of support has specific drawing template with
predefined typical to represent dimensions. There is a
provision to revise or replace typical to be displayed in
hookup drawing to suite organization needs and increase
adaptability for changing requirements of projects.
Number of columns and rows in hookup drawing table can
be configured in drawing templates. User can rearrange or
decide the number of columns of table as per organization
needs.
