For example, clearance, overlap, pipe slope. Application Support Type. For example, FT03 is not needed by project. Replacement Support Name. For example, FT09 displays in MODEL and DRAW application as PS132. Support Descriptions. For example, a pedestal support for an elbow is described as a Duck Foot. Available Support Ancillaries.
