Grips for Modifying a Plumbing Run

Plumbing runs are typically modified throughout the design process due to architectural or structural
modifications to the system requirements. For example, if the architect increases the size of a room, the
corresponding plumbing system supplying that room needs to be modified. You might need to lengthen
the plumbing lines, add fixtures, or reroute the plumbing lines for the room.
Several grips are available in AutoCAD MEP to modify components in a plumbing system.
Location Grips
You can move a plumbing component in the current XY plane using a location grip. Location grips appear
on parts at their insertion points and connector points.
