Split
Use this command to split a straight element or a curved section of a bend into two parts. This can be useful to create nodes for supports, applying forces at intermediate locations or introducing intermediate mass points. To split curved sections of bends (including jacketed bends), specify intermediate nodes at desired angles in the bend dialog. This command is also available from the context menu by right clicking on the Offsets (DX, DY, DZ) columns.
When you have a long sloping pipe, you can create one long element with the slope built into it and then use the Split command to break it down into smaller elements. Or, of course, you could use the Slope command.
