Settings

These settings are in the properties panel on the right while the widget is selected. The default value is the value the widget has when it is first added to a page.

Flow

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Fill pipe flow	Checkbox	On	Fills the pipe channel with fluid. When off, the pipe is drawn empty and no particles move.
Animate flow play	Checkbox	On	Moves the flow particles along the pipe. Only works while Fill pipe is on.
Flow speed speed	Number	1	Particle speed factor, 0.1–5 (1 = normal).
Reverse flow direction reverse	Checkbox	Off	Reverses the flow so the fluid runs from the last point to the first. A free discharge only works in the forward direction.
Flow particle shape flowShape	Selection	arrow	Shape of the moving flow particles. Options: rect Rectangle, square Square, circle Circle, diamond Diamond, triangle Triangle, arrow Arrow
Particle size (channel width factor) flowSize	Number	0.7	Particle size relative to the fluid channel, 0.1–1.2 (default 0.7).
Particle color flowColor	Color	#ffffff	Color of the flow particles and direction arrows.
Particle spacing (px) flowSpacing	Number	28	Distance between particles in px (at least 6, default 28). At most 80 particles are drawn.
Fluid width (diameter factor) flowWidth	Number	0.6	Width of the fluid channel relative to the pipe diameter, 0.25–0.85 (default 0.6).

Routing

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Point snapping snapMode	Selection	axis	Snapping while dragging points in the editor: Axis locks to the isometric axes, Grid snaps to the isometric grid, Off moves freely. Options: axis Axis, grid Grid, off Off
Automatic isometric elbows isoSnap	Checkbox	On	Aligns every segment to the isometric directions (30°, 150°, vertical) and inserts elbows where needed. When off, points are joined directly.
Elbow axis order routeOrder	Selection	xyz	Order of the axes when a segment is split into isometric legs; xyz runs along x first, then y, then z. Options: xyz, xzy, yxz, yzx, zxy, zyx
Bend radius (px) bendRadius	Number	14	Radius of the bends at corners in px; 0 gives sharp corners.
Line cap strokeLineCap	Selection	round	Shape of the pipe ends: butt, round or square. An open discharge end is always cut flat. Options: butt Butt, round Round, square Square

Details

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Show flanges showFlanges	Checkbox	On	Draws flanges at both ends of the pipe.
Show joints showJoints	Checkbox	On	Draws weld joints along the pipe at regular intervals.
Static direction arrows showDirection	Checkbox	Off	Draws fixed arrows on straight segments that show the flow direction; they stay visible even when the flow or its animation is off.
Show shadow showShadow	Checkbox	On	Draws a soft shadow under the pipe.

Discharge

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Free fall outlet discharge	Checkbox	Off	Leaves the end of the pipe open and shows fluid falling from it while Fill pipe is on. Not used when Reverse flow direction is on.
Drop height (px) dropHeight	Number	70	Height of the falling fluid below the open end in px (0–800). Only used with a free discharge.

Other settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Enable Flashing enableFlashing	Checkbox	Off	Makes the widget blink (an opacity pulse every second). Usually bound to an alarm condition.
Log Button logButton	Checkbox	Off	At runtime shows a chart icon when hovering the widget; clicking it adds the Tags bound to the widget to the log Tag list.
