How do I split / join segments in AutoPIPE
Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

Useful to remove some segments which clutter the model
Useful to isolate a few segments only to view and work on in the model
Useful to quickly view the complete model
Allows reordering segments in custom / automatic order
This is very useful when importing CAD models, when often the sequence the CAD model was built in a unorganised manner. Reversing segments also improves the ease of working with a model (e.g. imported from CAD), such as inserting components in a ’forward’ segment direction.
Operations like split segments enables users to easily model piping which is or not subjected to wind loading e.g. indoor vs outdoor piping into one single model. It can be used to 'Break' the model
Merging segments allows less segments and simplifies the model when segments have been reconnected back at junction/continuation points
See this page for Rules / Limitation on joining segments
Note: See TEE Modeling Approaches WIKI here
Enables the user to renumber the points in a single or multiple selected segments
