Mech-Q Piping

Mech-Q Piping Walkthrough

If you’re setting up piping in Mech-Q, you’ll be working with a lot of different fittings, specs, and materials. You can pick from ten main fitting types, set the material and wall rating, and even add remarks to your Bill of Materials. All your specs and size options pull straight from the Mech-Q database, so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

Once you pick your fittings, you can choose how you want your piping to look—single line, double line, or even full 3D mode. You’ll also find a bunch of settings to control things like pipe thickness, layer assignments, and if you want to show centerlines. Labels are easy to add too, and you can decide exactly where and how they show up in your drawing.

When you start drawing, tools like direct distance input and roll angle settings make everything faster. Plus, the label sizes adjust automatically based on your dimscale setting, so your drawings always stay clean and readable. Once you know where to look, piping for Mech-Q becomes a super efficient way to build out your designs.
