When the pipework design is complete, it is often necessary to spilt the pipes into more than one branch or pipe as a project requirement or so that the pipe systems can be viewed more clearly. Pipes can be split on components, planes or into spools. Refer to Pipework Spool for further information on spools.

Pipe assemblies are used to aid in the splitting of pipes, refer to Pipe Assemblies for further information on pipe assemblies.

All of the tasks that a user would carry out that are associated with the splitting of pipes is initiated from a central Split Pipe window which acts as a task hub.

On the Piping tab, in the Tools group, click Pipe Splitting to display the Split Pipe window. By default, the Split/Merge tab selected.
