CHAPTER 9
9 Creation of a Stand Alone Support
This chapter explains how to create a Stand Alone Support. A Stand Alone Support is a support on one line
with no associated steelwork. For instance a U-bolt on a line positioned on a piece of main steelwork belonging
to a pipe rack.
 This section is the same for the creation of Anchors, Guide, Stops and Slip Units
9.1 Creation of a Stand Alone Ancillary Support
To create an Ancillary Support, click on the Ancillary button within the Create group located on the
SUPPORTS tab.
The Stand Alone Supports gallery will be displayed as follows: Select Ancillary from the gallery.
A message on the top centre of the screen will prompt the user to Identify tube of datum pipe or support.
After selecting a pipe to be supported, the Ancillary Selection form is displayed containing a list of available
ancillaries matching the selected pipe specification and also a list of unavailable ones.

Selection form containing a list of available and unavailable components will be displayed.
After selecting a standard ancillary, click the OK button to display the Support Editor form.
9.2 Creating an Ancillary Support – A Worked Example
Before proceeding with the creation of the support, ensure that all of the design elements to be supported,
and any steelwork and/or panels the support is to be attached to, are shown in the 3D view.
Add Pipe 02200-B-42 and Structure Track2 to the 3D view.

These can be found in Zone ZONE-PIPING-AREA02-
WORKSHOP of site SITE-PIPING-AREA02 and ZONE
WORKSHOP_BUILDING respectively.
Set the support creation zone to ZONE-SUPPORTS-

AREA02-WORKSHOP from the Storage area.
Select Ancillary from the Create group located on the SUPPORTS tab and select Ancillary from the
displayed gallery as shown before.
Indicate the pipe by the graphical selection. The Ancillary Selection form is displayed.
Select XAT001 – Pipe shoe for N.B. ¾” to 20” and click the OK button.
The ancillary is created on the selected pipe and the Support Editor form is displayed.

It can be seen that most of the buttons are greyed out as they are not
appropriate for use on a Stand Alone Ancillary support.
The support can be renamed by entering the new support name in

the text box, or the user may use the Auto Naming functionality as
previously explained.
Enter the name A-AT001 into the Name text field.
Select Position Through in the Common section and indicate the

steelwork in the 3D view to align the support with it.
It can be seen in the above example the support does not reach the steelwork. Consequently the support
needs to be extended to meet the steel.
