The length and length effective of a pipe with socket

In our detailed design of a model, we found the automatically generated length and length effective of a pipe with socket can't meet our request. As shown in the screen shot,

when we modeled a  pipe with socket, the length is 1000 mm and length effective is 898.4 mm. Actually, for our construction request, the length should be 1000+Socket deepth=1000+101.6=1101.6 mm, the length effective should be 1000 mm. Kindly help give us suggestion on how do deal with this issue, for it would be hard for the site to provided pipe accurate size according to model information. Thank you very much.

  • Hi Deepak,

        Thank you very much for your reply. It works well to creat a pipe nipple spec with COMP_LENGTH of 1101.6 and SKT_DEPTH_M of 101.6 . But how shuold we do when we model various pipe with adjustable length and with socket. We don't hope to define the COMP_LENGTH to constraint the pipe length. When we model any pipe, could the auto-generated "Length" data in design properties include the end prep length?
