About Suppressing and Resuming Pipe Segments
When you route pipelines, you can suppress or resume one or more pipe segments to modify the pipeline trajectory.
 
• The pipe segments that you want to suppress must belong to the same pipeline that you are currently routing.
• When you suppress pipe segments you can also suppress the associated pipe solids and insulation.
• Fittings of type break, cut, or elbow, that are placed on the ends of a suppressed pipe segment are automatically changed to type "on end".
• All the suppressed components are resumed during the resume operation.
• You cannot resume a suppressed pipe segment if its end is used by a new segment due to routing.
• You cannot suppress pipe segments that have insulation, branch points, pipeline labels, or spools.
