Autofitting Filter property and SpecGrid selection

We can define this variable OPM_CUSTOM_AUTO_FIT_FILTER_PROPS = SCHEDULE to force autofitting to query elbow based on following pipe property (ex: SCHEDULE). But if we add this variable OPM_AUTOFITTING_SELECTION_GRID_FOR_ELBOW = 1 During placement ...

Standard Set of Useful Pipe Supports

It would be great if we could get a standard set of pipe supports that would allow us to change steel section. Things like 'T' posts, support trees, 'L' supports both above and below floor.

Generated "ISOSHEETS" in piping files be carried over to next file

When we create "ISOSHEETS" for pipelines in a design file and then try to copy all contents of this file into another file / new file (i.e reference in the file > select all content > Copy > Paste into new file > Detach the reference),...

Add support to connect duct bank to manholes in a referenced DGN file

Currently, BRCM does not support duct bank connections to manholes that are referenced in from another Underground file. It's very common to have multiple underground files in a project, and manholes need to support connections to these duct banks...

Need to connect Valves directly to a nozzle without placing a pipeline

See attached picture. In general it could happen that a nozzle gets a Valve connected with a plug or a blind flange at the end. In the moment it is not possible to place the valve directly at a nozzle without drawing a pipeline.

Display Rules

Please can the display rules work on higher parent classes like PIPING_NETWORK_SYSTEM (Pipeline) and PIPE_COMPONENT or ISO_SHEET. The idea is to write a rule to highlight all components in a pipeline where a specific criteria is met.
