The previous post discussed how to alter the outlet on a riser nipple by double-clicking on it. Here I will go over some other situations (including the original situation):
In all situations, double-click on the riser nipple, then click a third time. This will bring up the Riser Nipple toolbox. Pick Apply when done to leave the riser nipple tool.
In all situations, you may use the Select VP button to Apply your changes to the previously selected riser nipple and select the next riser nipple to work on
