Design a pipe in the drawing by indicating starting nodes, inflection points and end nodes.

The common function settings are described under Function Adjustments.

Next point – Determines, which is executed internal message with input of the next data point. The specified "command key" permits without explicit selection for "next point" directed additional nodes to produce for nodes + consumers or nodes + customers:

End nodes as new start nodes use - This option permits the continuous construction to a route. The end node of the pipe placed before becomes the new starting at the beginning of the next pipe. The sequential pipe construction is terminated by start new command or through printing of the RESET key.

➤ In order to create a new pipe, carry out the following steps:

1. Click Create Pipe (sisHYD > Tools > Construction).
2. Click on the initial nodes for the pipe in the design.
   
3. Draw the pipe process. With each further click an inflection point for the process is inserted.
   
   Note: By pressing the reset key (right mouse button) the inflexion point last set is removed.
   Note: In the status line sisHYD shows the current pipe length in main coordinates and the x/y coordinate under the mouse cursor.
4. Click on the desired end nodes to finish the construction of the pipe. If the mouse cursor is on a possible end node, it is highlighted.
   
   Note: The pipe name is formed from the name of the initial and end node connected by a hyphen. If a network element of the same name already exists, SISHYD generates a unique pipe name.
   Warning: Special attention is appropriate with construction of asymmetrical networks. As soon as the marking field for the network positions where the pipe is created is switched off, the following pipe is also created at the given positions. sisHYD determines whether the pipe can be created at the desired positions according to the initial and end nodes. See configuration dialog Pipes.
