Initial Z Rotation - This is the rotation around the Z axis that is applied to the starting point of the Pipe. This is used to orient the Pipe in a particular direction before sections are drawn.
Conveyor View - If this box is checked, the Pipe will be drawn as a simple conveyor. This does not change the functionality of the pipe. See the Fluid Conveyor object for conveyor functionality.

Z Rotation - The rotation around the Z Axis that is applied at the end of the section.
Y Rotation - The rotation around the Y Axis that is applied at the end of the section.

Joint Length - Specifies the length of the joint.
Auto Size Joint - Automatically adjusts the joint size based on the diameter and rotation of the pipe sections.
