Steps
Workflow for Notilus Piping
Create a New Project
Start with npCreateProject.
Select Project
Activate the project with npSelectProject.
Library & Settings
Open libraries via npLibraryManager and adjust preferences in npSettings.
Add Equipment & Fittings
Add equipment (npAddEquipment) and fittings/flanges (npAddFitting, npAddFlange).
Route Pipes
Draw or autoroute pipes with npDrawPipe and npAutoRoute. Split/continue using npSplitPipe, npContinuePipe.
Penetrations & Reducers
Manage penetrations (npAddPenetration) and reducers (npAddReducer).
Check & Validate
Detect collisions with npDetectCollision and show dims/changes via npShowPipeDims, npShowChangedSpools.
Spooling
Manage spools with npSpoolManager, add coordinates npAddSpoolCoordinate, export PDFs npCreateSpoolPdf.
Reports & BOM
Create BOM npCreateBOM and update library geometry npUpdateGeometryInLibrary.
Flusso di lavoro per Notilus Piping
Crea un nuovo progetto
Inizia con npCreateProject.
Seleziona il progetto
Attiva il progetto con npSelectProject.
Libreria & Impostazioni
Apri le librerie con npLibraryManager e regola le preferenze in npSettings.
Aggiungi equipment e raccordi
Aggiungi equipment (npAddEquipment) e raccordi/flange (npAddFitting, npAddFlange).
Tracciamento tubazioni
Disegna o auto-instrada con npDrawPipe e npAutoRoute. Dividi/continua con npSplitPipe, npContinuePipe.
Penetrazioni & riduzioni
Gestisci penetrazioni (npAddPenetration) e riduttori (npAddReducer).
Verifiche
Rileva collisioni con npDetectCollision e mostra quote/cambi con npShowPipeDims, npShowChangedSpools.
Spool
Gestisci gli spool con npSpoolManager, aggiungi coordinate npAddSpoolCoordinate, esporta PDF npCreateSpoolPdf.
Report & Distinta
Crea la BOM npCreateBOM e aggiorna le geometrie di libreria npUpdateGeometryInLibrary.

Notilus Piping — Settings
This page explains each option in the Piping settings dialog.
General
- Auto build pipe curves — Automatically reconstructs pipe centerlines where needed.
- Align cable tray & channels for not-90° turns — Keeps trays/channels orthogonal after non-right turns.
- Move all same plane segments together — Groups co-planar segments for consistent edits.
- Auto fix short segment cases — Heals tiny leftover pieces after routing operations.
- Categorize welded sub-degree elbows to 45° & 90° at BOM table — Normalizes elbow angles in BOM.
- Add fitting names to type column at BOM — Appends fitting names next to type for clearer reports.
- Show only 90° H elbows for channels and cabletray at BOM table — Filters to standard 90° H elbows.
- Categorize BOM according to systems — Splits BOM by system (HVAC, FW, BW, …).
- Hot / Chilled Insulation — Default insulation thickness (mm) for hot/chilled lines.
- Safe Area Pipe Distance (mm) — Clear distance enforced from safe areas during routing.
BOM Table Columns
Toggle which columns appear in generated BOMs:
- Type, Dimension, Length (m), Standard, PurchaseCode, Material, Dia Ă— Thk, Quantity, Pressure
Utilities
- Reset Cache — Clears cached routing and BOM snapshots.
- LAN Db Path — Sets shared database path used by the team.
System Layer Color
- System — Choose the system (e.g., Accommodation Layout, Black Water…)
- Color — Pick display color for that system, then Set.
Auto transform 90° elbows to 45° elbows
Add systems to the list to automatically convert 90° elbows into 45° elbows during routing for those systems.
Questa pagina descrive ogni opzione della finestra impostazioni di Piping.
Generale
- Auto build pipe curves — Ricostruisce automaticamente le linee centrali delle tubazioni quando serve.
- Align cable tray & channels for not-90° turns — Mantiene vassoi/canaline ortogonali dopo curve non a 90°.
- Move all same plane segments together — Raggruppa segmenti complanari per modifiche coerenti.
- Auto fix short segment cases — Ripara piccoli segmenti residui dopo le operazioni di instradamento.
- Categorize welded sub-degree elbows to 45° & 90° at BOM table — Normalizza gli angoli delle curve (45°/90°) nella BOM.
- Add fitting names to type column at BOM — Aggiunge i nomi dei raccordi accanto al tipo per report più chiari.
- Show only 90° H elbows for channels and cabletray at BOM table — Mostra solo curve H 90° standard.
- Categorize BOM according to systems — Divide la BOM per sistema (HVAC, FW, BW, …).
- Hot / Chilled Insulation — Spessori isolante predefiniti (mm) per linee calde/fredde.
- Safe Area Pipe Distance (mm) — Distanza minima di sicurezza dalle aree “safe” durante l’instradamento.
Colonne della BOM
Attiva/disattiva le colonne mostrate nelle BOM generate:
- Type, Dimension, Length (m), Standard, PurchaseCode, Material, Dia Ă— Thk, Quantity, Pressure
UtilitĂ
- Reset Cache — Svuota la cache di routing e delle BOM.
- LAN Db Path — Imposta il percorso del database condiviso dal team.
Colore Layer per Sistema
- System — Seleziona il sistema (es. Accommodation Layout, Black Water…)
- Color — Scegli il colore di visualizzazione e premi Set.
Trasforma curve 90° in 45°
Aggiungi i sistemi nell’elenco per convertire automaticamente le curve a 90° in 45° durante l’instradamento.
