If the selected beam intersects with the pipe, then the hanger is positioned at the intersection point. In this case Distance and Through become deactivated as the hanger cannot be moved while it is connected to the beam.
.If a valid connection point is found, then the application creates the hanger. In this case Distance and Through become activated, allowing the user to modify the position of the hanger. Moving the hanger with these buttons also moves the steelwork connection point(s) and associated fitting(s) accordingly.
