You can assign weight to piping, pipe supports, equipment, and structure. Weights are included in the Spec, or set in the model using the Properties Palette or Data Manager. After you assign weight, you can then enable live COG, or take a COG snapshot. Pipe (tubing) weights are specified as linear weight (for example: or LBS/FT or KG/M). Units from a piping spec are converted to project units. For example, if the spec and catalog units are in LBS or LBS/FT they are converted to KG and KG/M in a metric project. Weights in the properties palette or Data Manager alway display in project units. To specify weight in non-project units, you can use the Spec Editor.
Live COG
You can display the COG and total weight of selected objects in the model. If all selected components have the same line number, COG and weight display in the properties palette for the entire Process Line.
COG Snapshots
You can add a COG snapshot glyph to the model. If you hover over the COG snapshot glyph, COG coordinate and weight displays in a rollover tooltip. You can select and delete a COG snapshot glyph, but you cannot move or edit the snapshot.
COG Reports
You can display the COG and total weight in a report.
You can create COG and Weight reports directly from the 3D model. Report Creator must be installed to create COG reports.
Plant objects are identified by tag in the validation window. An ID number (PnPID) is used if a tag is not set. You can enable and disable validation ( plantcogvalidationswitch ). Related Tasks

If the COG glyph displays inside piping, you can set a wireframe or transparent visual style.

NoteProject units are always LBS or KG for Weight, and LBS/FT or KG/M for Linear Weight depending on the project units. You do not specify units when you enter a weight value.
After setting linear weight (for piping and structure) weight is calculated from length. NoteYou can use the cui command to display Weight and Linear Weight for piping, pipe supports, equipment, and structure in the Quick Properties window.
The COG Validation dialog displays. NoteYou can click on the links in the Validation window to zoom to and highlight the component that does not have weight set. If you want to freeze the list as you select components and set weights, you can disable live weight validation.
