This command will create 3D hangers from 2D hangers. 3D hangers will only be added to piping that has been raised to 3D at least once. Only pipes that have sizes on them will receive 3D hangers.

Your hangers must first be configured with the Setup command.

Starting the command will open the Create 3D Hangers dialog box. Press Create 3D Hangers to start.

Pick the existing 2D hangers to transform. You can press Enter to select all of the hangers or pick them individually with picks or with a window.

Go to 3D to observe the new 3D hangers.

Use Edit Hanger Template File to open a template file where you can add or edit existing 3D Hangers.

The file has the 3D hanger attachment block names, rod diameter, and attachment zone information for hanger types and sizes. If additional hanger types and sizes are needed, make a backup copy of this file before editing.
