Flexible Hose Styles
Flexible hose styles have some additional options that the other styles do not.
You can set the Use subassembly option to determine how the flexible hose
route is structured. It can be created in a flat structure, or with route
components grouped in a subassembly under the pipe run (default). Once
you create a flexible hose route, the route structure cannot be changed.
As with rigid route types, one of the first things you must do before creating
a route is to select a flexible hose style using the Tube & Pipe Styles tool. You
can create your own flexible hose style using custom fittings published to the
Content Center or select a predefined style.
