Is there a way to add Y-pattern globes or tilted topworks to globes in the specification?

When the user is adding a parametric topworks there should be a prompt for angle. But my first choice would be custom topworks, just build it right in the first place.

Thanks, I'd like to create the custom topworks, but I don't see how to make an angled type. Do I create a new data table and add some kind if custom data to it?

Oh I see it now in the help. ROTATION column probably does what I need.

Never mind, ROTATION doesn't seem to do anything. How do I get my custom topworks to be inclined?

Erm... no. You build the solids at the correct orientation in the DWG file.

OK, no idea how to do this. Are you saying build each handwheel separately for each valve in the model? Or am I building some external DWGs for each size that is somehow loaded when I place the valve?

Custom topworks presents a table somewhat like the user shapes tables, allowing you to point to DWG files on a per-size basis.
