You can insert horizontal vessels in plan or elevation view.
AutoORTHO inserts the vessel components as a single selectable group. You can move the entire vessel by selecting a single item in the vessel group, such as line or block.
When you insert a 2:1 semi-elliptical or dished head, AutoORTHO adds a straight flange distance of 2" (50mm) between the head and vessel's seam line.
You can modify this value in the Straight Flange Distance for Vessel Heads field on the General Parameters dialog box of the Project Manager.
