Walk Model is an error checking utility for the piping plan model. You must have the drawing in 3D mode for this command.

Select the process you want to check.

AutoCalc Mode

The AutoCalc Walk will search for a Water Supply block. If that is missing, the walk will not proceed. This walk will follow all pipes directly or indirectly connected to the water supply.

If piping that you expect to be connected to your system is not colored blue, then there is a connection error for that piping.

AutoList Mode

Choose the errors you want to look for.

Direction to Walk means the walk will proceed in all directions from the selected pipe, or only in the direction of the selected pipe.

Pick Proceed and pick a pipe. All pipes found from that pipe will be colored blue. Errors will be circled in yellow. Use Reset Pipe Colors to return to the original colors or pick Exit. If piping that you expect to be connected to your system is not colored blue, then there is a connection error for that piping.

For both modes, type SME (Show Model Errors) at the command line to open the HydraCAD Errors dialog box. Here, you can review and zoom to any errors found.
