Inline Asset with Line Segment and Group

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In this chapter we see how you can use the Properties of the related Pipe Line Segment and Pipe Line Group classes when selecting an Inline Asset.

This is essentially the reverse example compared to the Equipment & Nozzles chapter. Here the Inline Asset is the child object and the parent is the Pipe Line Segment. And the Pipe Line Group is the parent of the Pipe Line Segment.
